Monarchist Quote

'In a republic every Italian would insist upon being President, and the result would be chaos.'  How prophetic could he be?

 From The Mad Monarchist (13 January 2012)


"A republican form of government is not suited to the Italian people. They are not prepared for it either temperamentally or historically. In a republic every Italian would insist upon being President, and the result would be chaos. The only people who would profit would be the Communists".
-HM King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy

    A weakness of republicanism which is often forgotten.

However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
