Cogs can think.

A lot of Royal news the past few days. In Nepal, a people’s revolt is going on against the monarchy there, because the King refuses to give away his absolute power. Now, as you all know, I’m a royalist through and through, but the moment a people demand their king or queen abdicate, he or she should, as simple as that. This way, the king of Nepal is destroying his own dinasty, and probably, the monarchy altogether. Fcuker.

And, of course, queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the rest of the Commonwealth Realms turned 80 this week. My congratulations to what I believe is the oldest still in power monarchy of the world. I’m happy that after a troubling 10-15 years, the British monarchy is back on track when it comes to popularity. Let’s hope the Windsor dinasty continues to stay in power for yet another long time.

And there’s Dutch Royal news too, of course. Currently, the the Grand Duke of Luxembourg is visting The Netherlands, and as former part of our Kingdom, this is of course a good thing. My best wishes to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as well, of course.

And lastly, Palace Soestdijk will be opened for the public later this year, for three years. When Prince Bernhard (the father of my current Queen) died, the Royal Family said they had no intention of using the Palace as living or guest quarters, and as such, the property was automatically transferred back to the State. Awaiting a final destination and purpose, it will be opened for the public.

Who said the Monarchy was on its way out? Die republicans, die! Long live the Queen! :)
