I am from the Netherlands and I knew it, weird trivia tend to stick. I am sure you will remember it for next time now ;)
No idea where I picked it up though, I do watch (or more accurately used too, my attention span went down a lot..) BBC nature documentaries though, like David Attenburough, so perphaps from there? If not some sort of documentary then probably a quiz(show)
I'm British, so I got the 10/10, but I detest the monarchy, so I'm not happy about it 😂 To be fair I kinda guessed on the question about Kate Middleton's mother's business (because honestly, who cares?) but party supplies must've rung a bell somewhere 😅
😅😅 9/10 from a fellow brit, kates mum scuppered me.
I'm ambivalent towards the monarchy, I don't like it conceptually, but I also like the head of state being ceremonial and parliament being sovereign. The checks and balances are more robust that way.
That said, the monarchy may as well an embalmed potato and would serve the same purpose.
I've always felt that our head of state having no meaningful power concentrates too much power in the hands of Parliament, but then again if they actually did have any function beyond the ceremonial I'd be very unhappy due to them being unelected (as I am with the Lords). But then again, we haven't exactly done a great job electing our representatives in my lifetime either, so we may just be cooked as a nation XD
It’s a carefully crafted mirage - they have way more power than most people imagine. Look up “King’s Consent” and “Privy Council” on Wikipedia. Evil, anti-democratic, self-serving institution…
6/10. The 4 I missed were all ones that I narrowed it down to 2 and chose the wrong one. You'd think the odds would have let me choose at least one right.
10 out of 10. As a non-British royalist who lived in the next postcode from Windsor, I am quite pleased that I still have it, despite moving away in 2003.
My wife and I have been watching The Crown on Netflix, so that helped. Unfortunately, I got tripped up by the swans. Guess we haven’t gotten to that episode yet. 9/10.
Getting 6/10 with a couple of correct guesses on a quiz about my own country is not really something to be proud of. This is one of my worst results in the last month or so.
My best of all time with 9935. Hesitated a bit much on a couple of them. Also coincidentally scored 997 points on Q1, which is very irrelevant but did catch my eye.
Awesome score, you're comfortably top of my board today, well done! And 997 for any question is impressive, I've only managed it once or twice on even the easiest questions haha

Next time maybe we should ask about who else in the country is allowed to eat swans, at the annual Swan Feast...?
