      I don’t think so? She’s been enrolled into a military school and is taking the same teachings his father took. We really aren’t exposing her to public life up until she’s old. There is definitely the possibility that title got stuck up her ass and hopefully that military school gives her context and insight.

        Certain royal traditions have those that are in line for the throne have “military service” for male heirs. Some more involved than others. This just sounds like spain moving away from narrow gender roles for the crown.

          And it makes sense. Ever since Elizabeth served in WWII while she was the crown princess I’d imagine there’s some pressure to match it for royals.

    In 50-100 years’ time, we may see the US transition to a European-style constitutional monarchy, with King Donald III being stripped of executive powers and reduced to a figurehead, riding a symbolic gold elevator down to open Congress every year.

      Nah, we’re more a rome style society. In a hundred years after the longstanding madness of the Trumpian dynasty we’ll enter our era of “whomsoever pulls the dagger from the king is the divinely ordained king”

    I’ve read only weird things about Barron. All rumors, but all weird. Like the “I killed the dog because I wanted to see what sound he’ll make” weird.

      I’ve not heard much about him tbh, and I’m not sure I want to know.

        I haven’t heard much about him because he was a minor until recently. I hope to continue not hearing about him.

          Unfortunately the whole world is going to spend the next four years hearing about him and his dickweed family.

          Yeah likewise. That poor kid. I mean sure he’ll never have to work a day in his life but he’s got to be fucked up psychologically.

      I know a kid who went to school with him. Said he was a bit odd but otherwise was nice to everyone at school and was generally well liked.

        Normally, when you have distance parents, it hurts you, but in this case, it’s probably helpful.

            I got the impression that she used Bannon as an excuse not to be in DC.

            When you wear a jacket with the phrase “I really don’t care, do you?”, to a child detention center, people are allowed to question your maternal instinct.

          Nah, but Barron is supposedly neurodivergent so I suspect that’s what he referred to.

      My niece rolls with some of the NYC rich kids (Madonna’s daughter owes her $20 kinda shit). She is the small town girl who made it big in the city type. The NYC rich kids have weird stories… who knows. You are known by everyone, its gotta be a bizarre life.

        Not really. Just Facebook memes and it was often from a person who heard from someone who worked with him.

        Which made it dubious but how often I saw it is sus.

        Better a muzzled monarchy than a power vacuum every time, it’s worked in the UK, Spain, (um… probably elsewhere but it worked well enough in those two places after their autocratic dictators kicked the bucket, and look where it left Russia and to an extent Italy - mafia, economy stagnating etc)

          Italian economy had always been better than Spain.

          And Spain have been never short of organized crime. They were just not been prosecuted precisely because successors or Franco who made such crime got government positions in the new democracy instead of getting the rope.

        Just for the sake of clarity: Franco re-established it and Leonor’s gramps had Franco’s blessing.

      Parliamentary democracy with a monarch as non-executive head of state. So being monarch is a mostly ceremonial role, with the seldom used power to temporarily veto or morally object against bad ideas. Juan Carlos saved the Spanish democracy in 1982 for example.
