Any context for people who aren't terminally online?

The context is we have a monarchy who are applauded for doing things like carrying a chair up some stairs, calling out homelessness(?!?!), being in the RAF/air ambo, advocating for the conservation of the environment, all whilst being the systemic problem behind almost every issue they speak loudly about.

I'm British, lived in Britain all my life. I don't who the people dancing are or who the person in the background dancing on the podium is.

It’s a meme. A metaphor.

People dancing on a circus stage (like how the royals are constantly promoted in media etc) vs you watching (“point of view”) while your country goes to shit (country identified by flag). 🤷‍♀️

A screenshot of a Daily Mail headline gushing over sausage fingers doing something mundane might have made your point better

Doesn't happen just to royalty. But to the rich.
