If sending your favorite monarchs to present day were possible, would they rather live here or in their time once they got over the shock? Would they bring anything with them to their time, if so, what? What would their status and perception be as royals in the British Royal Family if they stayed?

Would they rather give up their royal title in the past to be here?

You can choose when they were Prince/Princesses or monarch to teleport them to the present.

I’m so curious as to what the everloving fuck the public would’ve thought about a previous historical monarch still being alive through time travel ☺️

King Mohammed VI, in His Speech to Parliament, Says Morocco’s Current Model of Migration Management Has Become Outdated

In his speech to Parliament, King Mohammed VI talked about the challenges Morocco is facing and the need to speed up reforms in areas like water and food security, education, youth employment, and decentralisation.

The second part of his speech was about the migration crisis and Morocco's cooperation with Spain. He said:

(...)

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Kingdom has succeeded in consolidating its position on the international stage as a responsible and reliable partner, committed to honouring its obligations and expecting its partners to treat it in the same manner.

The balanced approach adopted by our country in managing the phenomenon of migration has yielded tangible results.

However, we must acknowledge, with courage and objectivity, that the current model of cooperation in this field has become outdated, and the recurring crises are the clearest evidence of this.

The same applies to our neighbour Spain, with whom our partnership has undergone significant developments across various fields, including the fight against irregular migration.

Nevertheless, this cooperation is now facing major challenges, linked to certain outdated legal provisions and judicial rulings that are out of touch with reality. Unfortunately, these prevent the repatriation of underage children and individuals who falsely claim asylum, while fuelling the ambitions of criminal networks.

In the face of irresponsible statements and the blatant exploitation of this issue by certain political and media circles, we affirm that partnership is a sovereign choice and a voluntary commitment, and that it will never be subject to any pressure, threats, or blackmail.

In this context, Morocco will present its partners with a document setting out a clear and practical strategic vision, laying the foundations for a new direction that strengthens shared development, economic competitiveness, and regional stability."

What is about the Royal house of Lusignan?

While the kingdom of Cyprus ceased to exist in the 15th century, there's this website https://www.houseoflusignan.org/ claiming its legacy, which I found accidentally when I was looking into the crusader history.

Looks like a historical study website to me than a real-world organisation. But I am ignorant on this subject, and I am looking for more information.

Royal Thai Succession

Hello. I have given a thought about the future of the Thai monarchy after king Rama X dies, and I really don't know what to think. I understanf that the king would have liked his eldest daughter, princess Bajrakitiyabha, to be his heir, but as you know she passed away some time ago.

Of the king's two dynastic children, princess Sirivannavari is more focused on fashion but she doesn't look like she's very interested in reigning, and prince Dipangkorn honestly seems to be somewhat retarded, or at least the king hasn't tried to put him forward as other kings have done with heirs of the same age.

Then there is the problem of the king's four sons that were excluded from the succession. Two of them have popped up in Thailand since, though not without friction with the crown. They have been suggested by some as alternative heirs, but that's probably not even legal, given that they have since married foreigners, whereas Thai succession rules require to marry nationals.

The king has been reigning for 7 years now and he still hasn't named an heir. That shows he himself doesn't really know what to do. If I were him, I would probably appoint princess Sirivannavari, who is no stateswoman but at least she is of sound mind. Alternatively, appointing prince Dipangkorn might lead to a regency, if he's not capable to perform his duties.

In either case, the two should think of marrying and having children. That might actually be an important factor for the final decision: if the king sees one of the two is has started a family but not the other, he will probably go for the one with children.

These are just some thoughts, but I am really sure of nothing. What is your opinion? Do you know what Thais think of the potential future succession crisis?

King Charles House, Worcester. Built in 1577, Charles II sought refuge here after the battle of Worcester in 1651. A great piece of history and a great pint too.

King Mohammed VI appoints Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri as Head of Government, to become the first female Head of Government in Morocco's history

King Mohammed VI, in Tuesday, 29th of September, have appointed Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, a Moroccan lawyer, Mayor of Marrakesh, and the former Ministeresw of National Territorial Planning, Urban Planning, Housing and City Policy, as well as the leader of Party of Authenticity and Modernity (PAM), as the head of the government, to become the first female Head of government in Morocco's history.

This decision came amid the Morocco's legistlatif élections held in 23 September in which the PAM lead the results with 97 seats in the parliament. The head of government still need 101 seats to be able to form the government, therefore need to form a coalition with other parties that also hold seats in the parliament.

According to the article 47 of the 2011 Moroccan constituon, the king is the one who appoint the head of government from the party winning the first in the elections, without specifying if the head of government should be the secretary general of the party or not, however, since 2011, it's been a long stranding practice for the king of Morocco to appoint the secretary general of the first place winning party as the head of government.

Have you voted for a monarchist party or would you do so?

For those of you who live in republics (especially republics which were once monarchies): Have you ever voted for a monarchist party in an election and/or would you do so?

For those of us who live in monarchies: Does a pro- or anti-monarchist choice by a party or candidate influence your voting intentions?

To answer the question for myself: In the UK, all the main parties are monarchist by default, in that they accept the status quo of constitutional monarchy. They contain individuals who are republican, of course. (I think that many of the Green Party’s leaders are republicans, which I find baffling, because the King is so committed to the environment - but that’s another discussion. There is also a strong undercurrent of populist republicanism in Reform UK, but I would never consider voting for them anyway.)

It would be a deal-breaker for me, however, if a party adopted a republican stance or a candidate in my parliamentary constituency declared himself a republican.

What is your opinion of Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, also known as the Mad Baron?

He's probably my favourite Baltic German Buddhist Monarchist, though I'm not sure that's a particularly extensive list.

Quite an interesting figure historically, he did secure Mongolian independence from China, and the temporary restoration of the Mongolian monarchy.

What are your thoughts on him?

What Would Your Monarch Name Be

If you suddenly became the monarch of your nation or province, what would your royal name be?

I would choose Jason Thomas Patrick Wilhelm [my middle name] [my last name] of Missouri

My first name, then Thomas because St. Thomas Aquinas is my Confirmation saint, then Patrick, for my Irish heritage, then Wilhelm because I believe he was a great monarch, and represented what a king should be to his nation.
