Well there are a lot of poster here from all over the world, who sometimes don't have a monarchie. Let them enjoy it by saying ooooh and aaaah. Mathilde is just the perfect princess, walked away from a fairytale.
That's a bit of the dreamworld of royaltyfans....
Of course there is the political site, where nobody cares about how fancy Mathilde is, but ask the critical question if the crownprince is capable to become king.
Well in all this rumour, most Flemish parties have made their point clear. They want more authorities, but no seperatism, they want to keep on working together with Wallonia. They put the future role of the hereditary prince in question, but they don't talk about abolishing the monarchie.
I think most of the politicians are republican, if you think strictly democratic, you are republican. But most of them don't ask the separation of the country. As long as Belgium sticks together, so long will the monarchie remain. In worst case scenario of the state reformation discussions, then it is obvious Flanders will become a republic soon.
But at this time I don't think it's already time to be very pessimistic. Belgian are quiet neutral towards the royal house. So I guess things can turn out good if Philippe will take new progressive advisors and does a private talk with the media....
Its certainly not her fault that her husband and brother in law is getting some bad press.
