His Royal Slyness, (Hal Roach, 1920)
My second Harold Lloyd short this morning was actually a little longer, that is twenty minutes as compared to ten. His Royal Slyness came out in 1920, and, like Young Mr. Jazz, was directed by Hal Roach. There's a fair bit of mocking of a fictional royal family, as one might expect from an American film from 1920, although the attempted revolution might have been a subtle dig at the fairly recently completed Russian Revolution.
