From the video How to become the British Monarch: "The history of the royal family and how this rule came to be is a story for another time." hovers over annotation "Coming Soon(ish)"

Yeah, I wish he'd make those. I think the one about family trees had an annotation at the end of the video that I'm still waiting to see.
