Since the uprising in Nepal on September 8, 2025, I saw a lot of news circulating on the internet about a possible restoration of the monarchy, but over time, I lost track of the situation in Nepal.

So what is this beautiful and elegant melody in this video that follows HM the King and HM the Queen? I noticed (during queen Margerthe’s II reign) that this melody follows the monarch in car on Amalienborg. Its just elegant and beautiful and it really stucked in my head. I tried to find the name of this melody or march but I couldn’t. So can someone help me find this?

I feel like I haven't posted on this subreddit in a while. And yes I am aware this might not be the best place to post this but I was mainly inspired to do these from TMC and it is mainly for fun anyways, no bad intentions.

Hello everyone!
I’m currently working on a project to create a centralized platform for monarchists worldwide, bringing together organizations and individuals who share an interest in monarchism.
The idea is to create a space where monarchists from different countries, organizations, and ideological backgrounds can connect, exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and support one another.
The platform would include several features:
Organization Directory: A country-by-country list of monarchist organizations, making it easier for individuals to discover and connect with movements in their regions.
Discussion Forums: Dedicated spaces to exchange ideas, ask questions, share resources, and discuss challenges facing monarchist movements.
Debate Sections: Structured discussions on different monarchist philosophies, political systems, and ideological perspectives.
Collaboration and Support: Opportunities for organizations and individuals to work together, seek assistance, and support initiatives through donations and other means.
Monarchist Political Compass: A questionnaire designed to help users identify which school of monarchist thought best represents their beliefs, whether constitutional, absolute, traditionalist, or other forms of monarchism.
I’m particularly interested in developing the Monarchist Political Compass and would greatly appreciate your suggestions regarding the questions it should include, the ideological dimensions it should measure, and how the results could be structured to accurately represent the diversity of monarchist thought.
Any feedback, ideas, or recommendations regarding the platform as a whole would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!

The Princess Royal attended a rededication of The Guards Memorial at Horse Guards in London to commemorate 100 years since the memorial was unveiled.

The memorial stands today to commemorate the First World War and Second World War and the 14,600 men who never came home.

At the memorial, Her Royal Highness also met 100-year-old John Barber who served in the Irish Guards from 1944 to 1948 and is the same age as the memorial.

The first royal palace in Seoul was built in 1395. Although the monarchy was abolished in 1947, royals lived in one of the palaces until 1989. Seoul currently has five: Gyeongbok, Changdeok, Changgyeong, Deoksu, and Gyeonghui. Others were burned or destroyed in wars.

Hello.

As you know, the Kim family has ruled North Korea, officially the "People's Democratic Republic of Korea", for three generations. For this reason, North Korea often described as a de facto hereditary monarchy. Now, I've started to wonder whether they also have de facto nobility.

You have probably all seen these pictures of North Korean military officers with tons of medals. I've learned yesterday that one of the reasons why they have so many is that in North Korea you are allowed to wear your ancestor's medals. This made me think that this almost formalises a form of nobility, particularly a military nobility. Indeed, while a medal is usually like a lifetime title, if it can be inherited and used by descendants it becomes a kind of hereditary title. At the very least it allows you to show who your ancestors were, which is typically what nobles do.

What do you think?

I'm aware this has been discussed before in some fashion but I don't think there has been a whole lot specifically about potential new monarchies. I figure most monarchists here would be supportive of something like the USA going to Windsor (Mountbatten, or rather Glücksberg...) and Latin America going to Borbón or Habsburg but I want to just discuss it as a general idea.

Plus I want to know why some people believe it should happen, generally I am not opposed to foreign origin monarchs but as eccentric as it could be I think in the 21st century there's basically no point to it or at least the significant boon it provided in the 19th century and so on does not exist without an overton window dominated by monarchy. Like if a foreign dynasty offered it for a country I happened to live in (like the USA, or more ideally; California) I'd be totally down if I liked them and it'd be fine if it was something wacky like Tokugawa or some other Seiwa Genji cadet house to Zogili from Albania but I think they have to offer some inherent legitimacy which would be best if they were involved from the start.

like similar to this subreddit to talk and stuff?

16 October 1971 - The 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire draws to its final day with the Shah dedicating the Shahyad (Azadi) Tower in Tehran to commemorate the event. Within was displayed the Cyrus Cylinder, "the first human rights charter in history." The Shah concludes the festivities by venerating his father, Reza Shah Pahlavi, at his mausoleum.

Today HM the King went to Cardiff to open “Senedd” first time since 5 years ago. Of course protesters did not let this event to pass without them. What are your thoughts?

God save the King!

Today is a fantastic reminder of why constitutional monarchy remains one of the most powerful stabilizing forces in modern governance.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia recently traveled to the autonomous city of Ceuta, and the reception from the public was nothing short of overwhelming. Crowds flooded the streets chanting "God save the King", "God save the Queen", "Long live the Monarchy" and "Long live Spain." What was particularly encouraging to see was the strong presence of young people, many of whom were ecstatic just at the chance to shake the King's hand when Their Majesties appeared on the balcony of the Palace of the Assembly of Ceuta.

The contrast between the people's love for the Crown and their disdain for career politicians could not have been clearer. The moment government officials stepped out onto the balcony alongside the royal couple, the crowd immediately began to boo loudly and chant "corruption."

Moments like this make it so clear why the institution is still so vital. While politicians are inherently tied to partisan friction, temporary scandals and deep political division, the Crown stands above the fray as a permanent symbol of the nation and its people. The raw enthusiasm, especially from the younger generation, shows that the monarchy isn't an outdated relic, but a living, breathing institution that people genuinely connect with on an emotional level. In moments of political frustration and institutional distrust, having a non-partisan head of state provides an invaluable anchor and a stabilizing force for the country.

Moments like this prove why the institution endures and why millions across the world continue to support the Crown. ¡Viva el Rey! ¡Viva la Monarquía!

What do you think about this topic? I've personally always been against and never convinced by the arguments defending Salic Law, I've always viewed Absolute Primogeniture as superior.

Hobbes was an English philosopher, who argued for absolute monarchy. However, unlike my contemporary monarchists of his time, his primary argument was the idea of a "social contract", in effect, citizens willingly give up some of their freedoms to an absolute ruler who can prevent the breakdown of society and enforce social harmony. He argued that without this that humans naturally existed in a war like state and would be at each others throats constantly.

This was unique and even controversial among many monarchists at the time. He did not resort to traditional divine right monarchism, and his formulation was very different from the mixed constitutional system (Crown + Lords + Commons) that English Royalists had fought for during the English Civil War.

This is a simplified explanation of his philosophy, do forgive me for missing a lot of detail.

His most famous work of course is Leviathan (1651). He also authored De Cive (1642), De Corpore (1655) and De Homine (1658). He also has a posthumous work, Behemoth (1681).

Interested to know what people on this sub think of him.

In the new official gala portraits, published on the occasion of the day, the Crown Prince wears the gala uniform of the Royal Life Guards for the first time.
Around his neck, the Crown Prince wears the Grand Commander Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog, which His Majesty the King has awarded to the Crown Prince in connection with his birthday. Grand Commander is the highest rank of the Order of the Dannebrog, which is uniquely awarded to princely (royal) persons who are already Knights of the Order of the Elephant.
In addition, the Order of the Elephant with a breast star, the breast star of the Order of the Dannebrog, as well as the commemorative and memorial medals that His Royal Highness has received are visible.
The portraits were taken a few weeks before the birthday in the Vestibule of Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg.

Now, just to keep things easier, I'm going to refer to Trump as the monarch rather than some random politician. What kind of monarchy do you think America would become? I don't think it would be a figurehead monarchy, so it would definitely have more power than the European monarchies, though I don't see it becoming an absolute monarchy either.

And what title would Trump take? Obviously, “King” would be an option, but honestly, I think America could become an empire because, in some ways, we already are one. At the same time, I can't imagine Trump—or any American monarch—wanting to be considered inferior to the European monarchs, who would have less power than them.

But what do you think.

A pretty complex character...

15 October 1971 - The 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire continues with a procession of 1,724 soldiers of the Iranian Armed Forces in period dress, portraying the armies of the various Persian empires from Cyrus to the contemporary dynasty. That evening, a traditional Persian party is held at the Banqueting Hall as the concluding event at Persepolis.
