context: If you’re not up on your Wars of the Roses lore, the Princes in the Tower were Edward V and his little brother Richard. After their uncle Richard III took the throne, they disappeared. This meme argues that calling them the ‘king and prince’ even after they were murdered makes it look like Edward V was still the rightful king, which would make Richard III a usurper. So yes, this person is definitely fun at parties.
in this house edward v is king
