If you ever look at the cast lists for the European versions of Celebrity Big Brother and Strictly and I'm A Celeb, like 1 in 3 contestants are in the line of succession for a defunct monarchy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted November 9, 2017 2 hours ago, Sean said: Why does anyone carebout the line of succession when the monarchy is out of power? Well, I guess they want to be ready, in case some politicians try to restore the monarchy. Of course, that'd almost certainly not happen. But Romanian politics suffers from rampant corruption, and if one day it affected the (mostly powerless) president, you'd never know what'd happen. (Simeon of Bulgaria could return to power through democratic elections, so there is at least some precedent for disillusioned Eastern European voters turning to a former monarch.)

I sincerely hope Michael has taken out Reverse Mortgages on all his properties so that his wife and he have lived well and been able to travel! The heirs may find there is nothing monetary to fight over! The Bank takes theirs after the man dies.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted November 11, 2017 Given that the British resident grandson lost his royal status in 2015 because 'King Michael thought the royal family should be led by “someone who is modest, well balanced and with moral principles"' maybe we'd better keep an eye on the wayward young 'un too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
