If I had something other than my laptop in my hands I would have chucked it.  Urgh.  

Elrond is not a king.  Arwen is not a princess.  Read the book that you’re making a documentary about, you dickheads.   

I mean—if you think of their lineage, they are in their own right royalty. Elrond and Arwen are both Telerin/Sindarin relatives to Melian and Thingol, both first-borns that were once called “King and Queen of Beleriand” before Feanor returned for their Jewels. Arwen would be even more powerful than Galadrial with her splash of Maiar blood. I am just confused on what you are you are so mad about, haha. I am just trying to understand your mind-set. :)

What makes Arwen and Elrond even more “royal” is that they have the royal blood of elf and mortal ascendants like Beren, Earendil, Tuor and Turgon. Turgon whose forefather is Finwe, which was one of Thingol’s (Elwe) best friends and before he died King of the Noldor elfs, also a first-born elf. So Arwen and Elrond are indeed kings/princesses.
