40 years ago, I read Chronicles for a few years. Until I discovered they were an odd group that felt Monarchies were an acceptable form of government.
The editor then was Thomas Fleming (there is another Thomas Fleming who is an author and is not like the editor)
In spite of their good grasp of history, I never looked back. They have their own agenda and they at times flirt with the Left.
I kind of understand their view of monarchy. Perhaps the natural civilization paradigm. You look at how people are mindlessly bedazzled by celebrities, create personality cults around politicians (like the Kennedys!) and you see why monarchy and its royal trapping have such a hold on people. If they don’t have “royalty” they’ll create it!
