What if George Washington had accepted the crown?

In this recovered timeline, the fledgling United States becomes a constitutional monarchy—ushering in two centuries of dynastic rule, royal intrigue, and cultural evolution under the House of Washington. From the first sovereign’s uneasy coronation to the sweeping reforms of George the Tenth, this episode traces a world where democratic ideals bowed to tradition—and stability came at the price of revolution.

Listeners will hear firsthand voices from across the centuries: enslaved men and freed women, dissenters and loyalists, courtiers and commoners—each bearing witness to a world shaped by lineage, not election.

History didn’t repeat. It was inherited.

This is Not This Time.
