        Given the monarchy is the top class in a class system then yes: by definition.

    Is that a cigarette in his hands? He was 12 years old in 1955.

      Well, the princess is downing a bottle of fortified wine, so it would seem that’s just par for the course.

        When I was 14, my parents ordered a bottle of wine in a restaurant and asked, if I wanted a glass. Nobody thought twice about it.

      In 1955, basically everyone smoked. Like 65% of Europe were smokers, and I do mean 65% of living humans of all ages.

      I was smoking at 12 in France in 1999, I told tobacconists I was buying them for my mom. Pulled the same thing off in the states when I moved there 2 years later. And I was far from alone. These are far more recent (terrible, obviously) habits than you might think.

        Yah, my uncle lived to 94, smoked for 89 of those years. Pretty sure if we’d had a nuclear war in the 60s, that fucker would have still made it into his 80s.

    Amateurs. I started my cocaine addiction at 5 years old when the Fleetwood Mac album Rumours came out.

      I think those might actually be frosted glass cups.

      Here is the best copy I could find, and the flared edges do not look like plastic cups - also the shiny inside and matte outside looks more like glass frosted on the outside.

      PP was not in commercial use until 1957 (not sure when it was first used for cups), PET disposable cups weren’t a thing until the 70s. Disposable cups in the 50s would have been wax paper.

        Me too, especially due to the use of the word ‘ceased’. Reminded me of this video where a reverse scammer convinced the Nigerian scammers to record Monty python’s dead parrot sketch, as he combines then he could get them a BBC grant.

    Fun fact because I’ve lived in that region for a while: Count Alexander zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn ist still alive and inherited the family’s castle, which he successfully renovated. It had been a ruin after WW2. He also has a Harvard Business degree. The castle is an event location now and one of very few castles in Germany that are still owned by the original aristocratic family. There is also a butterfly house next to the castles.
