Royalty and Power in Fantasy: Heavy is the head that wears the crown - Grimdark Magazine
Pick up a fantasy book at random and odds are, there will be royalty in the story. A sneering prince looking down on the commoners, a king or queen struggling with the burden of their responsibilities, a princess doing her best to play the role expected of her whilst plotting in the shadows the ways of earning true power. What is the obsession with royalty in fantasy? Why do writers feel the urge to use these characters in their stories?
