Did you really think it would be that easy

Nobody would rule by birthright in a D&D world. Any leader of a country would have access to Clone, and would have no need for inheritance.

It seems like any sufficiently rich person, like a monarch, could essentially have someone on staff - maybe multiple people - whose entire job is to periodically cast True Resurrection, naming the rich individual. If they arenโt dead, the spell fails; if they are, they come back to life, and can name their assassin.
Or they could just have some Clones.

The king is a puppet of a dictatorial deity. The solution is to overthrow god.
The king is a puppet of a dictatorial clergy, the solution is to burn the church down with the clergy and monarchy inside.

MRW when I put my horrible sleeper down "drowsy, but awake", and he snuggles up with his blankie, lays his head down and closes his eyes... only to start wailing 5 seconds later

Assuming D&D 5e rules, this is easily countered by casting Gentle Repose on the corpse every 10 days, or any other method of preventing natural decay.
True Resurrection can only create a new body if the original no longer exists.

I guess this comes down to DM fiat as for what constitutes โtouchingโ the creature. For example, what if the person casting the spell had a hair sample, or a severed finger or some other item from the monarchโs body, which they were also taking any of those steps to prevent decay of?
The 3rd Edition version of the spell is even more ambiguous. RAW, it doesnโt prevent you from โunambiguously identifyingโ the creature through a means other than touching the body even if the body still exists.

Funny thing, there was a 2e setting called Birthright, which pretty much made the game about developing land as a lord, rather than dungeon delving

RAW and RAI that wouldnโt work, otherwise you could cast Inflict Wounds on someone by merely having a strand of hair from them. The RAW answer would be to have someone cast Contingency + Gentle Repose, though at that point you may as well add in a teleport or something instead

Oh. I just learned about this. I have no involvement in this channel but this video was neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsGk9M-4dq4

I thought this was going to be spam. I recommend saying what youโre posting a link to. Or at least something that makes it clear youโre replying to a specific comment instead of posting that at random.

Or stuff it in a bag of holding!

There definitely should be some spells that work like that tbh, itโs a classical trope of curse magic.

Once those items are removed from the body they become a separate object. Maybe useful in divination, but not touching the body. If this were true the party could just cut off some hair hand it to the cleric and all their touch spells would be infinite range.

That wouldnโt be a feature of the spell but of the caster
