This Saxon Royalist shit heap deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave. Ideally without building a parking lot over his insipid pedophilic corpse so as to deny him even identification after centuries of disgraced death.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wouldn't want future archaeologists to waste time trying to identify the nonce. Carve his name and crimes on his bones before he's buried in an unmarked grave

Edit: also Saxon? I thought the British royals were descendents of Charlemagne, who famously killed the Saxons.

Sir Christopher Lee was descended from Charlemagne more closely than most, but the British Royal family is just a branch of the Von Hohenzollerns having renamed themselves after due to political reasons. Also I was using the term Saxon as a reference to southern England which was settle by the Saxon tribes while northern England was settled largely by the Anglo tribes.
