I am glad you brought additional context to the clip. I can see how he'd be reluctant to interject his views on the monarchy himself. I didn't know how I should have read "little leftist firebrand", even though I did enjoy her unfiltered and clear answers.
Exactly, it's not a talk show or even an interview, it's filler on a kids show! That it even got to that point is impressive in its own right..
I think a good take away from this is that kids need more space, especially in more mainstream media (rather than just tiktok and that, which have both value and risks, like most things) to have open and honest conversations with adults about politics and how it impacts their everyday lives (which it absolutely does). Kids are a lot more in tune and in touch than most people give them credit for.
Or they parrot whatever an influential adult in their lives has said to them.
But that's not always the case. Plenty of kids can take in media or just life observations and make their own conclusions, it's true though a lot of their views are just what their hear from adults around them. I think that's true of adults too to a lesser extent.
