This. If we're going to revive the monarchy then let's dig-up one of confirmed descendants of the Zhu family of Ming or Zhao family of Song.

There's a sub-national elective monarchy in Ireland still

This is the current guy

What's it called?

>>1388384
Is that the guy who greets tourists when they dock on the island or some shit?

>>1388399
Tory Island, or Oileán Thúr Rí if you're feeling traditional.

>>1388441
Yeah, but he also plays accordian at the local pub and has a fancy chair he uses as a throne.

I'm descended from a rare and legendary imperial line. Not gonna name any names, but it's similiar to claiming descent from Gilgamesh, or Hercules. No one cares, but it's a good feel.

>>1388321
The mandate of heaven smiles upon the communist party, thus there is no need for replacement.

There's three Hawaiian heirs floating about. Even though I'm a haole I'd gladly remove others for a small, comfy estate and a Kamehameha cross

Doubt he's lying, given that prolific rulers had/have thousands of descendents. He'd be one of many. Hell, you probably are too.

If you're of European descent you have a pretty good chance of being a descendant of Charlemange.

If the house is older then it's almost certain.

The gods couldn't give their own children a stronger frame, huh?

>>1386632
Shit. I'm directly related to King Henry I of England. I should go to England and start a claim as a pretender.

>>1389999
Quads confirm.

So how closely related is your lineage? Like son of son of son.etc? Or cousin/uncle/granduncle

>>1386854
Qing had the Mandate of Heaven.

Deal with it.

>>1390006
Lets see if I can remember correctly.

>Henry gets married to what's her face
>have a son
>he gets married to some Norman

Pretty much just son-son-son. And i have the papers to prove it. I'm just on a shity windows phone, otherwise I'd post pics.

>>1390012
Oops, I meant a scott. My bad guys.

>>1390012
An internet search tells me there's no one currently pretending for the House of Normandy, seems like it's all yours m8

>>1390012
Unlikely considering Henry I's only legitimate son died without issue.

>>1390019
Damnit, I forgot about legitimacy. I think it was from a mistress. Either way, I have papers to prove it. I just need to figure out a way to post them.

>>1389831
Now now, some people can't help it. They're controlled by their media.

>tfw you will see her being gangraped by Somali Muslims in your lifetime

Feels bad man

>>1390017
>>1390019
I found part of the lineage papers. It was Robert, Earl of Gloucester. So I guess its more towards the Norman side.

>>1390047
Which, alas, means you have no claim on the English throne.

>>1390057
Or the County of Gloucester, given the line of descent.

Damn, at least the Byzanbros went out with a bang.

Also, Napoleon looks aesthetic as fuck. I wouldn't shoot that guy.

Hey, hey - now wait a minute!
What about the Hwan dynasty?

Some of the princes survived the Hyper War and their offsprings are the purest royal lineages in China.

>>1389860
I'm actually descendant of Charles Martel, but not Charlemagne. My family went to spain with Charlemagne to fight the Muslims and remained as rearguard and an outpost in case of future invasion

My family is, according to my gradfather, descended from some obscure croatian nobility. Our coat of arms is on the local church. Apparently we were also related to the Habsburgs distantly.

>>1386632
According to my great aunt, my family is descended from French royalty. She refused to elaborate, and had most of her private papers burned in her will.
I can only assume we're on the run from Napoleon's descendants.

So what are the odds that Prince Charles will abdicate the throne to Prince William when (if...) Queen Elizabeth dies?

>>1393329
I really hope he dies before her, or at least pulls a George IV

>>1393329
Why do you want him to abdicate?

>>1393329
None, because it would defeat all the benefits of monarchy.

He'll be too old, after the Brits having an old as hell queen for the last 100 years.

And he's goofy looking.

>>1393449
>None, because it would defeat all the benefits of monarchy.

Because?...

>>1393482
>Because?...
Because monarchy isn't a popularity contest. That's democracy. Monarchy is about stability, investment, and long term planning.
If we're going to play fast and loose with the line of succession just because the media tells us to think of the heir as "goofy looking", despite all his good works, then why bother bothering them?

>>1389967
at least they have a healthy hairline

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_von_Habsburg

This is the current head of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. I knew him and his heir once, they're all a bunch of idiots that would have no capacity to rule if they were restored to any throne. It makes me sad how inferior the current crop is to Franz Joseph or Otto (who was a genuinely awesome guy) but I guess it's an inevitable consequence of having so much prestige and money without actually having any responsibility to go along with it for so long. They dropped their claim to the throne a long time ago anyway.

Also, fun fact, he used to host a fucking game show in Austria.

If Monarchy was ever reestablished in Brazil we could actualy see a fight for the crown between the houses.

>>1388343
Pretty cute to be honest

I've always wondered where they got their income/wealth from. if they were deposed, do they still receive appanage? Income from renting land? Or did their ancestors just take a lot of wealth and invest it properly after they got deposed?

>>1395400
Isn't it actually gearing up between the two claimants? As in, people are sick of the shitty democracy which has been dreadful since inception, and now realise that the empire actually did well?
Read a few articles on it, and it's not yet time to celebrate, but there's hope.

>>1397098
I agree I've a incredible amount of Imperial flags during the protests of march.
But for monarchy to be brought back we have to choose which one of the claimaints deserves the crown.

>>1388343
they look like wax figures

>>1397113
That would potentially be big enough to stymie it.
Really wonder how that process would go.

Either from lands still owned (as in, only the titles were removed), or they just had to get jobs. Hell, most current royals do have jobs.

>>1397125
Why not, our republic is already better than house of cards
