It's not that literal. Most of us don't have a king either.
If that's a metaphor, I have no clue what for.
A huge number of people are drinking from lead pipes. It's not a consequential difference from lead cups.
Children are working at all kinds of jobs, not just factories, and the ruling class is pushing to expand child labor.
We don't have a king, but we have more stratification in class than in the prior eras.
There's no direct metaphor, but the tweet is showing that the fact pattern can change without conditions improving.
