    I thought that it was after the French decided that their kings were to pompous and started wearing military outfits (after the king mysteriously disappeared). I could be wrong tho, the British royals could use some less gold.

      thought it started with Victorian England. I’m too tired to double check or get in a rabbit hole right now. either way the guillotine is worth a try
