Forget the dusty history books and the Netflix dramatisations. If you could pull up a stool at the local with any sovereign from our long, messy royal history, who'd be the best company?
Put the items in your preferred order.
Henry VIII
Loud, lavish and dangerously charismatic. He'd buy every round, sing every chorus, and possibly behead you by closing time.
Elizabeth I
Witty, multilingual and ruthlessly clever. Expect cutting one-liners about your love life and a masterclass in political shade.
Queen Victoria
She'd judge your trousers, demand a stiff gin, and shock you with surprisingly filthy gossip about her ministers.
Charles II
Restoration London's biggest hedonist. Spaniels under the table, actresses on his arm, and absolutely no judgement of your life choices.
Richard III
He'd spend the entire evening defending himself against Shakespeare and insisting those nephews were fine, honestly.
