John Oliver calls on the royal household for refusing to evolve

“It’s hard to tell, isn’t it?” John answered. “Because the whole selling point of the royal family is that they don’t change. It has been for centuries, times come and go, governments rise and fall, but the royal family will always be there, adamant about the stiff upper lip that doesn’t wobble . That’s their selling point. “

The comedian continued, “As the years go by, you realize that not changing yourself is not entirely good. Because that means times around you are changing and you refuse to move on. So I don’t think so they will change because I don’t think they can. But obviously they should. “
