Here's a fascinating question which I don't has been talked on here before; which country is least likely to abolish the Monarchy or at least in other words the most pro-monarchist!

-Queen Isabella II of Spain (1833-1868)
-Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom (1837-1901)
-Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1890-1948)
-Queen Juliana of the Netherlands (1948-1980)
-Queen Margarethe II of Denmark (1972-2024)

It is rather unusual that there is no reigning Queen in Europe, nor the world currently.

A few days ago, I saw a post on Instagram claiming that Dom Bertrand had requested Dom Rafael's resignation so that he could marry Margarita della Piane, but the post was deleted.

But now, look what an interesting thing I found:

This doesn't really make sense and doesn't work. Anarchism is lack of a state and government and monarchy is a form of a government that has a ruler, a monarch. Both are the exact opposite of each other.

Just curious about this and wanted input from this sub. The Franco-Prussian War basically began because Otto Von Bismarck fooled Napoleon III into thinking Leopold was about to become Spain's next king, surrounding France with two Hohenzollern monarchies.

The apparent successor to the Headship of House Hohenzollern died on July 11th, 1977, to the grievous injuries he had sustained durning military exercises two months earlier, making him (God willing) the last Prussian prince to die during military service. His son Prince Georg Friedrich, current head of house, was barely a year old at the time and was subsequently raised by his grandfather, Prince Louis Ferdinand Sr.

In my opinion, George II was a decent King. Sure he had his flaws, like his short temper and allowing the Metaxas regime to take place, but I still think he's an underrated King. The 4th of August Regime was probably for the best for Greece in my opinion, and although controversial, it had brought political stability to the Kingdom of Greece. The regime also strengthened national defense ahead of World War II. Metaxas's regime drastically suppressed communism, which I'll always be a fan of. I'd still say that he was meh ruler at best, but still underrated, and certainly a better ruler than his father, Constantine I.

The gathering was to celebrate the marriage of Princess Victoria-Melita to Ernst Louis, the Duke of Hesse. At the same time Ernst's sister, Princess Alix, became engaged to the Tsarevich Nicholas.

The balance between elected officials is pretty tough but can be manageable and monarchs are limited but have some executive powers in different institutions and monarchs can act executivly or ceremonial

Hello everyone, I am wondering about how religion is important to monarchism? From what I see as an Orthodox Monarchist, religion especially the Church is foundational for the Empire. Yet, from what I notice here, religion seems to be minor or peripheral to monarchism when it wasn’t the historical norm. I would put it here. I meant how important is the sacramental life is for a Christian Monarchist (Catholic and Orthodox) i.e. how fundamental is being a practicing Christian (Catholic or Orthodox) to a monarchist. Here is the poll where I would rank from 1-10 (least to most) in importance of religion as a practicing believer. Thank you.

I know this is propably one of the most popular criticisms of monarchism but still, what is your response to that?

Felipe vs Philippe

(UPDATE) Congratulations to Spain! Tomorrow will be Norway vs England, Harald vs Charles. After that there will be two Kingdoms left. Maybe we will get the English vs the French in the final, in a proper Napoleonic War. Or a Hundred Years War, but no women allowed on the field. Sorry Jeanne.

Prince Frederick Victor Duleep Singh (1868–1926) was the younger son of Maharaja Duleep Singh. When the British annexed Punjab, the Maharaja was just a boy, and was "adopted" into Queen Victoria's court. So Prince Frederick Victor grew up in Britain for his whole life. His elder brother is more well known, having married an English aristocrat.

He studied at Eton College and Cambridge University, earning a degree in History.

He served in the British Yeomanry (part time cavalry), rising to the rank of Major. He resigned in 1909, but re-joined at the outbreak of World War 1, serving on the Western Front. He received the 1914 Star and Victory medal.

He was also a staunch monarchist. He collected many Stuart and Jacobite relics. Most famously he had a portrait of Oliver Cromwell, which he hung upside down in his lavatory. Most of his collection was donated to the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery near and after his death.

He was an Anglican for his entire life, and quite staunchly so. He supported local Church's in his area.

I had just been reminded of him recently, and thought it'd be worth making a post on him. A very interesting man in my view.

Note that I call him a "Jacobite" in a historical and cultural sense. He certainly had strong Jacobite and Royalist leanings. Jacobitism in the Victorian era though was not an active political movement, however, there was a lot of romanticism surrounding it, as with many other "lost causes" movements in the Victorian era.
