Regardless of popularity they are pretty well entrenched in places like Canada. Ratification of law with regards to the Queen requires unanimous consent by all provinces. Could be easier to draft a new constitution or become the 51st state. j/k, point is the monarchy will be around Canada for...

Legitimation and Pedigree?? I don't know how recent you think this is (1919), but Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Valentinois parents never married, and she was legitimated and adopted. More specifically, I am curious how nobility of other realms recognize marriage after children. i.e. Scots law...

Or personally, if...

Is religion or the fact that they are commoners a factor anymore? Why did Carl Gustav have to wait until he was king to marry? Thanks

non-reigning houses? Thurn und Taxis made me pose this question, but any examples would be great. I was just curious, non-reigning houses (german/austrian especially) are just following old tradition? Do they all still follow male primogeniture out of tradition or has there been huge trusts set...
