Great show and an excellent example of true history in the show. I think the King’s mother was incredibly unhelpful towards the Princess. It seems that she wants the young Empress to fail. However, they were also horrible people because they didn’t take care of their public’s healthcare, decent education or employment. Those people are what eliminated the upper classes in the 1800 and 1900’s. The ruling class thought it was their right not to take care of of their own people.
