From Monarchy to Midfield: A Humorous Look at Royal Football Allegiances

A content creator, known as hugh.cambello, recently released the third installment of his viral series, "What football teams British monarchs would support." In this latest video, the creator humorously assigns historical British figures to contemporary football clubs based on their perceived historical traits and personalities. The video features figures such as Charles I, who is playfully linked to Manchester United due to his perceived ineptitude and extravagance. His son, Charles II, known for his lavish lifestyle and numerous mistresses, is assigned to Real Madrid. Oliver Cromwell, described as a "massive Puritan" with a penchant for "forgiveness, penance, and self-flagellation," is humorously paired with Tottenham Hotspur. Queen Victoria, who oversaw a period of significant global expansion for England, is associated with Manchester City, with a tongue-in-cheek remark about the club's "undeserved" success. Finally, Henry VI, portrayed as an "incompetent" ruler whose reign led to civil war, is assigned to Leeds United, a club the creator himself supports, acknowledging the "carnage" and lack of seriousness. The series continues to engage viewers with its unique blend of history and football commentary.
