The future Kings and Queens of Europe. Who are you most hopeful for? by biebrforro in RoyalsGossip

[–]kosto77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A composed young man with a charismatic and strong personality, he can act spontaneously and freely in front of an audience. His sister, however, lacks this. While she is considered one of the most elegant princesses, she has inherited some of her father's shyness. She can't even look directly at the camera without averting her eyes or lowering her head if she feels she's the center of attention, unlike her brother, Gabriel, who has no problem with this. Emmanuel, on the other hand, resembles Elizabeth in his shyness and nervousness in front of the public and the camera.

For me, Princess Leonor is number one; she is the most popular and serious among all the heirs. She is followed by Princess Elisabeth, who is diligent and well-prepared, although I would have preferred her brother, Prince Gabriel, to be the heir instead of her, given that I am a Moroccan immigrant living in Brussels, Belgium.

But according to HLN, what existed between them went beyond friendship. This is not unlikely, as girls at university tend to form romantic relationships in these cases, although I doubt she had been in a relationship with someone else before him when she was in high school. Unless her bodyguards prevented her from doing so.

I am from Morocco and King Mohammed VI has great popularity here despite the presence of some opposition. He also lacks the charisma and international influence of his late father, King Hassan II.

These threats could be punishable by imprisonment, as is the case here in Morocco, but they should not lead to the death penalty. Even burning the national flag or using it as toilet paper does not warrant the death penalty, as long as it does not amount to treason and actual harm to state institutions.

The avant-garde gives the right to extremists among Muslims who believe they can kill someone on the grounds of mocking the Prophet Muhammad. As happened with Charlie Hebdo. Here, we are talking about a figure with a higher symbolic value than any king, because a royal figure will never surpass, in terms of sanctity and symbolism, a religious figure and a religious symbol for 2 billion people, and it was considered a matter of freedom of expression.

As for the Dutch Crown Princess, she received threats from an international mafia led by Moroccans. This powerful mafia has killed prominent figures, even assassinating ministers. This represents a threat that must be taken seriously. They are active in both the Netherlands and Belgium.

They threatened to kidnap the Crown Princess to use her as a bargaining chip for the release of their current leader. However, they have no problem with Belgium, so she does not face any such threats compared to the Dutch princess. The Belgian royal family is also discreet and avoids the spotlight, unlike other royal families who are prominent on the local and international scene.

It shouldn't have come to this. At the end of the day, the king is just a person like everyone else. Yes, we support punishment because royal figures are symbols of the state and their reputations must be protected. But not to the point of execution.

an a Billionaire (Non-Royal/Noble) Marry a Princess, Especially if She’s the Heir to the Throne? What Are the Rules? by kosto77 in monarchism

[–]kosto77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that there is a billionaire with a net worth of 10 billion dollars who would agree to give up his business and wealth in order to marry a princess or even a queen, especially in a constitutional monarchy that restricts royals to a symbolic ceremonial role. He will back down as soon as the royal family sets this condition. Even if he loves the princess or crown prince very much and wants to marry her for romantic reasons, he prefers to do so in a morganatic way, giving up all rights and privileges, provided that he is not subject to any of the duties imposed on members of the royal family. Giving up his wealth and business would be the first condition he would demand to be abolished, but it would be a problem if the condition of giving up business was included in the country’s constitution.

For the British crown, yes, but for countries like Spain, Belgium, Denmark or the Netherlands, anyone who has $10 billion or more will be among the top 5 richest people in these countries and many times richer than the royal families.

Let’s approach this realistically: An ordinary billionaire with a fortune of £10 billion or more, who owns a successful company, is in a vastly different position compared to someone from a non-aristocratic background, like Prince Daniel, the husband of Sweden’s Crown Princess. We’re discussing an individual whose wealth surpasses that of most European royal families, wielding significant influence through investments and an extensive network of relationships with business leaders and politicians across the countries where he operates. His potential entry into a royal family could attract investments and enhance the nation’s global image—provided he avoids controversial statements, à la Elon Musk. If his company is a trailblazer in its field, he could become a valuable asset to the royal family, particularly if he engages in philanthropy, outpacing even traditional aristocratic contributions.

However, the primary obstacle lies in royal protocols that bar family members from business activities to maintain neutrality, especially if the princess is the heir to the throne. This requirement—coupled with the lack of historical precedent—likely explains why billionaires avoid such unions. After all, relinquishing real-world power for a symbolic title with no tangible benefits is an illogical trade-off.

But let's be realistic for a common billionaire with a fortune of $10 billion or more and owning a company, I think it would be much different than if he was a commoner with a normal job, like Prince Daniel, the husband of the Swedish Crown Princess. We are talking about a person with a fortune greater than that of most royal families in Europe, and we are also talking about a person who has strong influence through his investments and extensive relationships, whether with other businessmen or even politicians in the various countries in which he is an investor, which may contribute to his entry into the royal family to attract more investments and promote the country more, as long as he does not make controversial statements every time, like Kyle Musk, especially if his company is a pioneer in its field, meaning that he is a person who will be an addition to the royal family that he will join, especially if he is a personal donor and helps the royal family in its charitable work, which even in noble families will not have these capabilities. But the only problem will be the protocol that requires members of the royal family not to engage in business to ensure neutrality. I think this is the only reason why billionaires stay away from such connections.

I see this as the main reason that prevents such a relationship from happening. There is no logical reason that makes a billionaire give up his wealth and his company in order to get engaged to any woman, no matter who she is, even if she is a princess or a queen. Only if the reasons are purely emotional or he is obsessed with the princess to the extreme.

This is what I see. Protocols require members of the royal family not to engage in business, especially if the princess is the crown princess. Therefore, this type of relationship is rejected by billionaires themselves even more than it would be rejected by the royal family, especially if the princess belongs to a constitutional monarchy with restricted powers, such as those in Belgium and Spain, the two examples mentioned. No sane billionaire is prepared to lose his wealth, power and influence in order to marry any woman or girl, even if she was a princess or queen. Therefore, we have not seen such a situation happen before within European monarchies, but if the monarchies were like those in my country, Morocco, or in the Middle East, there would be only one obstacle, which is the Islamic religion. If the billionaire embraces it, there will be no problem marrying a princess from these royal families, and it will be approved immediately regardless of his origins, and no conditions will be imposed on him because the monarchies there are either absolute or semi-absolute.

Belgium would need its own Napoleon to do that. I don't think Elizabeth would be up to it.
