Perhaps there’s hope for the United Kingdumb then? Over twenty years ago, I read a book entitled, ‘Scotland’s Forgotten Monarchy’ by someone who styled himself, HRH Prince Michael of Albany. He claimed to be in the direct line of the Royal House of Stuart. If so, then he would have a claim to be King de jure of Scotland, Ireland, and arguably England too, although he sought only the Scottish Crown overtly. I have no idea what has happened to him but, according to his own account, the British intelligence services took more than a casual interest in him when he arrived in Scotland from his native Belgium in the 1990s. Perhaps he was a opportunist – even a charlatan – but right now I would give him a chance. He might just be better than what we currently have. Perhaps then we could return ‘our’ ‘royal’ family to Germany? There are more than a few members of the Royal House of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha (aka Windsor) whom the ordinary people of this spectre isle would gladly be rid of.
Oops, Roy Chevalier pulls a needle, out of a haystack.

Something is always lost in translation.
Here’s the link to the original publication in French to an OpEd he wrote which was published on October 8th.
The subsequent interview was published a couple of days before “Le cambriolage du Louvre”

The OpEd:
Louis de Bourbon:
“The Fifth Republic is on the verge of collapse”
TRIBUNE. Louis de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou and legitimist pretender to the throne of France and Navarre, warns of the “political and institutional crisis” facing the country. Heir to the Capetian dynasty, he calls on the French to draw from the monarchical heritage a source of “hope” in the face of the republican deadlock.
Louis de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou 08/10/2025 at 18:28
The political, institutional, and social state of our country continues to worsen. I consider it my role as head of the House of Bourbon and heir to the dynasty that built France to speak out on the matter. It is with pain that I watch my country sink into a political crisis that grows a little more insoluble every day, where, once again, parties and politicians, far from acting in the higher interest of France and thus of the French people, prefer to play their own game. The Republic, true to its history, is subject to partisan logics. If the constitution desired by General de Gaulle seemed intended to correct this flaw, it must be acknowledged that, fifty years later, this scourge that has caused France so much suffering is resurging with force.
While social tensions, for both economic and identity-related reasons, are tearing through the country in increasingly violent ways, and external threats are piling up, the State is at a standstill. As has happened many times in the past, the republican institutions and the political class are not up to the challenges of the moment. The Fifth Republic, like its predecessors, seems to be on the verge of collapse. Governments come and go, and they all look alike. They apply the same methods and the same measures. Relentlessly. I note a total absence of self-questioning and a lack of genuine reformist will. While politics is often described as the field of all possibilities, today in France it has become a space of immobility, impotence, and incapacity.
At a crossroads .
Our country, once again, will find itself at a crossroads in its history. Once again, a choice may have to be made. And even if these times are necessarily a source of anxiety or even suffering, they also carry hope. Indeed, it is in such moments that, thanks to men of goodwill, thanks to those animated by a genuine concern for the common good, great and beneficial changes can occur. Anyone who knows the history of France knows that we have experienced similar situations several times. It is therefore up to us to seize these opportunities so that France can find the path to its glorious destiny and its happy prosperity, so necessary for the flourishing of its people.“It is in the shadow of the lilies that your freedoms blossomed and France reached its zenith”
Thus, I invite the French to carefully consider the current state of our institutions and of the ruling class, whose great incompetence makes its practice of co-optation unbearable. At this hour of choices, I hope that the monarchical heritage of which I am the depositary remains vivid enough in the hearts of my compatriots to serve as a source of inspiration and, I will say, of hope. Stability, the long term, a vision across generations, and heads of state concerned not to pass chaos on to their successors: these are all points that should be placed back at the center of French political life. I am not speaking only of institutional data.
I am also speaking of an entire system of thought and values. A comprehensive reflection to be undertaken on our way of life and government. French people, let us not forget that it is in the shadow of the lilies that your freedoms blossomed and that France reached its zenith. We need leaders who know that the happiness of the people is their ultimate mission. May Saint Louis, model for heads of state, protect France and the French in these hours of growing uncertainty.
Below I’m putting a translation of the interview :
Louis de Bourbon: “The Fifth Republic is on the brink of collapse”
Interview by Louis de Bourbon, eldest of the Bourbons, pretender to the throne of France under the name Louis XX.
JDD. – You are the head of the House of France, pretender to the throne under the name Louis XX. How do you view the current political situation?
Louis de Bourbon. – I observe it with concern, but without surprise. For years, I have been warning that the Fifth Republic, as it functions today, is at the end of its rope. The presidential system, conceived by General de Gaulle for exceptional circumstances, has become a monarchy without a king, where the president holds all powers without the counterweights that a true monarchy provides. This concentration of power in the hands of one man, elected for five years with full powers, creates an imbalance that the French instinctively reject. We see it in the growing abstention rates, the disaffection with politics, and the rise of extremes.
JDD. – You speak of a “monarchy without a king.” Isn’t that a paradox for a republican like many French people?
Louis de Bourbon. – Not at all. The French have always had a monarchical fiber. Even under the Republic, they expect the head of state to embody the nation, to be above parties, to guarantee continuity. But the presidential election turns the Élysée into a battlefield where candidates promise everything and deliver little. Once elected, the president becomes a hyper-president, but without the legitimacy of heredity or the distance that a king maintains from partisan struggles. The result? A permanent crisis of confidence.
JDD. – Emmanuel Macron has just dissolved the National Assembly after the Europeans. Is this a sign of the regime’s exhaustion?
Louis de Bourbon. – Absolutely. Dissolution was a weapon of last resort in de Gaulle’s arsenal, to be used in extreme cases. Today, it has become a banal political maneuver, a way to dodge responsibility. The French no longer believe in it. They see a president who, after seven years in power, dissolves an Assembly he himself elected to avoid facing his unpopularity. It’s a confession of failure. The Fifth Republic is on the brink of collapse because it no longer knows how to produce stable majorities or lasting compromises.
JDD. – What alternative do you propose?
Louis de Bourbon. – A return to the fundamental principles of French politics: a head of state who arbitrates without governing, a government responsible to Parliament, and institutions that respect the diversity of the nation. This is what monarchy offers: a king who reigns but does not govern, who embodies continuity and unity beyond electoral cycles. Look at our neighbors: Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden—all constitutional monarchies that function with stability and serenity. France, with its republican exception, is the only one in perpetual crisis.
JDD. – But the French rejected the monarchy in 1870, then in 1880 with the amnesty of the princes…
Louis de Bourbon. – The French have never been consulted on the regime since 1792! The referendums of the 19th century were manipulated, and since then, the question has been taboo. Yet polls show that a growing number of French people—especially young people—are open to the monarchical idea, not out of nostalgia, but out of pragmatism. They see that the Republic, as it is practiced, no longer works. It produces division, clientelism, and impotence.
JDD. – Concretely, how could a restoration take place?
Louis de Bourbon. – It would require a national debate, serene and democratic. A constituent assembly, perhaps, or a referendum. I am not here to impose anything but to propose. The monarchy I defend is constitutional, parliamentary, and decentralized. The king would be the guarantor of liberties, the arbiter in crises, the symbol of national unity. He would not have the power to govern but to prevent the excesses of those who do.
JDD. – You mention decentralization. Is this a response to the yellow vests or regional demands?
Louis de Bourbon. – Exactly. France is a centralized country to an extreme degree, a legacy of the Revolution and Napoleon. But the French are attached to their territories, their histories, their identities. A monarchy could restore power to the regions, the departments, the communes, while maintaining national unity. The king, as a suprapartisan figure, could embody this balance between Paris and the provinces.
JDD. – Some accuse you of being reactionary…
Louis de Bourbon. – That’s a caricature. I am a man of the 21st century, father of three children, engaged in humanitarian work in Africa and Latin America. I defend ecological monarchy—yes, the king as guardian of the common home, in the tradition of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron of ecology. I defend a social monarchy, inspired by the encyclicals Rerum Novarum and Laudato Si’. And I defend a monarchy of freedoms, where the state serves citizens and not the other way around.
JDD. – And Europe? What role for a king in the European Union?
Louis de Bourbon. – A king could restore France’s voice in Europe. Today, the president is weakened by domestic struggles. A king, free from electoral deadlines, could defend a vision of Europe as a civilization, not just a market. He could work with other crowned heads to build a Europe of nations, respectful of sovereignties.
JDD. – Last question: do you believe the French are ready?
Louis de Bourbon. – They are more ready than one thinks. The crisis of the regime is obvious to all. It is up to us, the French, to imagine the future. I am at their disposal, not to take power, but to serve. As my ancestor Louis XVI said before his sacrifice: “Frenchmen, I am your king.” Today, I say: “Frenchmen, I am ready to serve you, if you wish it.”
Interview by Guillaume Perrault
This is interesting. What about Italy and its monarchy, the House of Savoy or Caesars? Then there are the pre-Columbian monarchies of Mexico and Peru
I’m all for the monarchies as long as they’re under the Church. Just look at how horrible monarchies turn once they break away from the Church and they no longer have a terrenal anchor point to God (e.g. England and the 13 colonies).
It’s fairly evident to anyone with any shred of awareness that democracies are satanic institutions foisted upon us by free masons that allow the most base amongst us to destroy lives and futures.
Any system of belief that exalts man above God is ut materia prima corrupt and doomed to fail. Man from himself is unable to perfect himself without the grace of God and all his enterprises that excise themselves from the Creator will wither and die.
I agree, this is a story to watch, let’s see if the Bonaparte heirs chime in too.
King Louie XX; will also be bringing back – the guillotine[s].
For fine-tuning some old, and new; over-the-top, business chops,
Nothing like good-old analogue cutting-edge leadership; to get more attention…?
Than those unbiquitous, social-engineering, digital-hand-held, technology.screens.
Talk about; off-the-grid, head/line news!
Of course, some may think King Louie XX leadership style may be a little too edgy…
If it happens?,
Those museum thieves will soon be talking their heads off!
