But Will There Be Corgis?

Good Day Deathlings, 

Here's a little insight into how we figure out video titles. 

Yesterday Louise and I were figuring out last minute edits and details for this royal funeral video when the topic of the title came up. 

Make it wacky? Something...something...corgi procession...custom Range Rover...royal funeral. 

No, too odd. A person did die after all. 

Keep it simple? A Primer to the Royal Funeral. 

Again, no. "Primer" kind of communicates expertise of some sort and we are NOT experts. 

Self-deprecating? An Ignorant American's Guide to Royal Funerals. 

There we go. A title that acknowledges that I am one of those WRETCHED AMERICANS and that try as Team Death Video might (and we do try really hard!) we aren't experts. 

I'm curious, if you are someone who grew up in the UK is the royal funeral, the PROTOCOL for royals in general, just something you innately understand to some degree? Like, do you have Queen Drills in elementary school like California kids have earthquake drills?

I'm joking. But...do you?

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video. It's literally a video that came out of patrons asking us to do it. So ask and you shall receive. 

RIP Philip. Condolences Queen Elizabeth. 

Take care of yourselves deathlings!

*A quick, but important clarification: If you clicked on this post from your email, the subject probably read, "Caitlin Doughty's new patron-only video". This is not a patron-only video; this is a video that was released to the public. When we release patron-only videos we will explicitly state in the video info and in the video post that it is a "Patron Exclusive" video. Patreon recently changed the way Patrons-only video posts (i.e. these nifty messages that are delivered to your inbox) are released via email – automatically adding that "patron-only video" line to the subject, even if that's not the case. But that's not how we (and a lot of other creators) do things. So, sorry for the confusion! I hope this cleared things up! We're working on fixing this with Patreon.
