Well, they have centuries of it. They aren't the oldest civilisation though.
The oldest still going strong today is Chinese.
I know, I know ...people are sick of the Chinese, we are ubiquitous. But somehow we survived even with the cultural revolution and the whole Taiping Rebellion thing AND the Japanese invasion.
And even industrialisation.
Christians better take note, the church is underground and persecuted in China. But it's strong.
When Chinese and British culture clash..you have a place like Hong Kong.
Dynasties...I don't know that the British Monarchy could match the Chinese dynasties in terms of longevity, but the Elizabethan age was pretty amazing, in both reigns.
And the Victorian era was also wonderful, and quite solid. So they had good female rulers/heads, which actually is quite rare. For example in the Bible, mostly it was just Kings, and the rare Queens they had apart from Queen Sheba were evil and wicked.
The Kings were not all good either.

Lesson from Oliver Cromwell, the Brits prefer the pomp and ceremony of Royalty, even when they are behaving badly.
Princess Diana had a lover from Pakistan (Hasnat Khan) and was interested in Islamic culture, she also had a middle Eastern boyfriend (Dodi) connected with the Al Fayed family, who were very wealthy, they owned Harrods.
So I think she was attracted to men outside her own culture, probably came from her globetrotting, the Royals really do get out and about. I don't think any other Royals travel quite so far and wide in the history of the world.
Every tour they ever did, they were feted and it was a huge deal. But thing is not everyone welcomed the Royals even though most were fawned over, it costs a lot to host them. In Auckland we have a residence set aside for them to use when they come and stay. It's a private place and has a garden and they also have investitures there. I've gardened there --needs a lot of upkeep, but it is nice.
Back in the day, Prince Charles and Princess Diana bought baby William there and had a picnic on the lawn and William was famously given a buzzy bee toy. That photo of him enjoying the buzzy bee is iconic and famous in New Zealand. I recall Diana wore a green polka dot dress..
Well the photo is here on the internet so, I'll just post it so you can see.

Been a while since I read or watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Though indeed much of the universal themes of royalty, nobility, and the divine mandate/mandate of heaven type ideologies is prettyintriguing considering both cultures were separated totally from eachother by both much time and space. Indeed really until relatively speaking recently, like more or less only roughly for the past two centuries have the two cultures really collided, though yea, in a pretty big way. It is truly sad that Hong Kong was handed over to the tyranny of the CCP. May God free Hong Kong and all of China, praise Jesus.
1997
They (the Brits) had a 100 year lease, so, it was always going to happen.
Nobody really anticipated that Emperor Pu Yi was going to inherit the throne at just 3 years old, and by the time he came into power, he was just tired of all the intrigues and left to become a humble gardener.

They just need to lean into the Chinese characteristics and drop the atheism/communism.
Well sorry for the digression but you're very smart and cultured, God bless you.
Well here's the hot and really big British royals news for the day. Video is a livestream of King Charles visit and meeting with Trump so the livestream might start at a random point as it is currently live as of this posting. Praise Jesus.
Here's a brief 5 minute clip of I guess a mainstream news preview you coudl call it.

um.. I don't really watch those things if got Mr T in it.
Attention seeking as per usual.

Well I disagree my royal steward Trump is actually slaking the attention seeking of your king and throwing a rather generous bone to make an abrupt turnabout in his reign and get back to the right path. Not that it's totally one sided I give the British some credit it is actually very smart for them as the quicker 5 minute clip speculates that since Keir Starmer is so hated by Trump and lampooned (rightly) by the wider public playing into Trump's relationship and actually rather positive outlook on the royals to help shore up their extreme low point at the moment in the world standing, is prudent, not make or break, but a minor blessing. Then of course for always watching all the plots within plots mindful this meeting might prove influential in our ulterior motives upon ulterior motives for Harry and Meghan's rehabilitation lightweight not as Spare but as a key fulcrum in the restructuring of the nobility and the overall governments actually keeping some semblance of order in this savage world, praise Jesus.
As you wish, praise Jesus.
hahha
I wished I'd seen Princess Diana dance to Stayin' Alive
But 'You're the One that I want' was a perfick choice

Lol I tried to find if there was an AI of it which I'm surprised that there isn't, but I didn't dig too deep. This was the best I could do though so maybe one day actually soon.
I'm sure MJ did meet Princess Diana though. Apparently he apologised to her for the song 'Dirty Diana' but she told him don't worry about it, actually she liked it.
I thought Dirty Diana was referring to Diana Ross, but I could be wrong.

John Travolta for President? Why not? He could do better than the other Mr T.
