Super excited that you are all waking up to the insanity that is people who are descended from royalty but not royalty but STILL INSISTING THEY ARE ROYALTY. They are a fascinating in a very bad way bunch. https://twitter.com/louisducdanjou/status/1266578058452054016
There are two dudes who claim the DEFUNCT throne of Italy. They got in a fight at the now King of Spain's wedding, knocking over the deposed Queen of Greece.
There's another German prince who cannot marry the love of his life because his grandfather's will stated if he married anyone of "non-Aryan blood," he would forfeit the family's considerable fortune.
I will stop because I could go on all day. These people fascinate me, and also have some good tiaras. I like tiaras.
OK, I'm directing you to @courtjeweller for one last one. The aunt of the current King of the Netherlands married a claimant to the Spanish throne -- different than the dude who started this thread. It was A SCANDAL. http://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2017/08/the-bourbon-parma-tiara.html#more
But yes, there are multiple people who have their eyes on the Spanish throne. ALSO multiple people who have their eyes on the non-existent French throne. 🤷‍♀️
