1. There are still Monarchists in Estonia. 2. The concept of foreign Royals becoming Kings/Queens of other nations has been a common practice. It's mostly when the royal house has become extinct, or if there was a political change (independence - such as in Finland) 3. "King of England" does...

No. Sweden is not an elected Monarchy, and has not been in many centuries. It is hereditary.

Martin Luther died a Catholic. As he put up the 99 theses he was a Catholic. This is an irrefutable fact. He never took the title "Protestant". And all forms of Lutheranism since him and now reflect a strong connection to Roman Catholicism - something Baptists or other Protestant groups...

Being in the Commonwealth of Realms has no inherent benefit, especially since the R. Family is likely to visit your country more if it is a realm, than if it is merely an ex-colony (Commonwealth of Nations). This is especially noticeable in the number of royal visits to Canada, in comparison to...

Welcome to the Royal Forums!

Merry Christmas, Happy Saturnalia, Happy Solstice, Happy Kwanzaa and have a great New Year!

Simply because of International condemnation of Christian persecution there. Which will result in the party-system (religious parties are banned) becoming more unstable - thus a shift towards Monarchism will result. It's only a thought. Not like any other African country has a chance. (afaik)

As you can see from my avatar. I am as well.

Nation of Islam is a separate religion from Islam originating in the US. Though I suppose you could have just meant she joined the ummah

Number of problems with this one. In particular, the idea that there are Protestant "religions" and "faiths". The word denomination is used, to denote a community within the Protestant sub-religion of Christianity. "Protestant" has historically meant "not of Rome or the East" (ie, not Roman...

Royalty likely began with the advent of cities in the Levant - such as Byblos. The most powerful commander and leader became "King". Considering Jesus' title is haMoshiach (the Anointed One) - a title (Moshiach) given to only Kings and Priests, it's quite clear from the Christian POV there's...

1. While I'm totally against the current reigning royal houses. (with a couple exceptions here and there), they are and will continue to be relevant. In the same way Elvis Presley or James Mason is relevant, long after their deaths. And if you want to go one step further, considering how many...

Depends on the circumstances of the given Monarchy. For example - it would be highly inappropriate for the French, German, Austrian or Italian houses to allow commoner marriage. While it would not be so in the case of the British or Spanish crowns. As for the whole "it was nicer when royals...

Personally I think abdication should only be done under extreme circumstances. Royalty is a from birth to death occupation. Meaning that abdication denies the foundation of Royalty. (especially, if it is only because the monarch is old). I would expect the "big" Monarchies to not have...

I'm against any recognition of illegitimate children for succession. The LAST thing we need is the praising of adultery daily by saying "Your Majesty!"

I think it is probable that several of these countries will become Republics following Eliz' death. The others will likely follow suit after 5-10 years. (mostly due to the unpopularity of Charles, and the likelihood that Australia will launch a Domino effect)

Am I the only one who thinks if Charles inherits the throne, Britain will be a Republic in no time?

Well, you assume that merely because I'm American (a product of my birth), that I will automatically be "Behead the Tyrants!" - this is not the case. I do support Monarchy - actual Monarchy. For me, Monarchy is legitimate only when the given Monarchy has historical ties to the given land, is of...

Democracy implies the people are in charge, this is not the case. All residents of a Kingdom, whether constitutional or absolute are subjects of the Monarch. They are second-rate from a hierarchy POV. While freedom is exceedingly high in Northern Europe (the base of Europe's Monarchies - UK, the...

Hello. a Republican from LA here. I'm here for discussion on today's Monarchies and Republicanism. I respect a Monarchist's right to put another human above them (a fundamental denial of humanism, democracy and civilization). :whistling: Thanks for having me. Windsorists be prepared. :cool:
