Among the countless crimes committed by the first French Republic the murder of HRH Princess Elizabeth goes beyond the pale of decent civilized behavior. May Her Royal Highness rest in peace.

I would gather that in France the Comte de Paris is at the apex of the nobility pyramid. There is no other family in France(including the Bonapartes) with the lineage and history of the French Royal Family. I am assuming every noble in France would bow to HRH le Comte de Paris. The recent...

Long live Constitutional monarchy! I pray NONE of these nations lose their monarchies; they are part of the nations' culture and legacy. I can just think of Anatole France's PERFECT ANSWER......"For every monarchy overthrown the sky becomes less brilliant because it loses a star. A republic is...

King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette I certainly agree that conditions were not the best in France on the eve of the revolution; bad weather and a terrible harvest. Yet, France had a growing middle class and it was their desire for power that was behind the movements for reform. King Louis...

King Louis XVI I agree with you on practically everything you wrote. I also know that the victors write the history books. We know in our hearts that King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were innocent of the crimes the French Republic accused them of; no matter what some books state. THAT...

heir to the French throne I would seriously disagree with you about your comments re. republics. The constitutional monarchies of Western Europe have some of the highest standard of livings in the world! Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, etc. Yes, the majority of the French...

reply to Revolution I have read of stories that it was the British Ambassador who was paying people in the streets to riot; all were lies and rumours. I believe King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were good people who were caught up in a situation that was no longer in their control. The...

Queen and President Her Britannic Majesty was brought up from birth to serve and represent her nation; that she has done with dignity. French People who are alarmed at M. Sarkozy must realize he is an elected official; like our President of the United States. They have a chance to throw him out...

Thank You Thank You for posting the photo of the lilies of France. I noticed the beautiful British Royal Coat of Arms pictured above. Britain was lucky to have held on to such a magnificent heritage!

Is not the original coat of arms of France, the Lys de France held by angels supporting the crown of France the MOST BEAUTIFUL coat of arms in the world? (I must have been a French Royalist in another life!) Just my observations.

I am an American who has always been fascinated by the French Royal Family, the Orleans branch of the Bourbon Family. I know that in France, the Comte de Paris has precedence over any other French noble family. However, if while at a function in France the Comte de Paris were introduced to the...
