From pharaohs and emperors to queens, princes, and televised royal weddings, humanity’s fascination with royalty spans centuries and continents. But what is it about royal figures that continues to captivate us in the modern age?

This interactive online event invites participants to explore the enduring allure—and growing controversy—surrounding royalty. Together, we’ll look at how monarchs once symbolized divine power, national identity, and tradition, and how today they are often entwined with celebrity culture, media narratives, and political debate. Why do so many admire, envy, or critique royal families? In an age that champions democracy and equality, we’ll explore the roots of royal fascination, the spectacle of modern monarchy, and its ties to privilege and colonial legacy. Together, we’ll question whether royalty still holds meaning—or if it’s time to move on.
