Walter Bagehot's 1867 work The English Constitution shrewdly warned of the British royal family that "Above all things our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence it... Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic." The dirty secret of all nobility and monarchies is that while they vary in quality as individual people, they are not as a group deserving of belief in them as superior people.

Replace the Glyckenburgs with the Stuarts.

Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria von Bayern, Duke of Bavaria (born 14 July 1933), is the current pretender to the British throne under the Jacobite succession, which follows male-preference primogeniture without regard to the Act of Settlement 1701
