      The Nordics and some other countries in Europe uphold a powerless monarchy.

      … Essentially they’re a kind of celebrity…

        They aren’t powerless at all. In fact the monarch family in question are proven Epstein rapists, and yet they are not in prison forever. That is political power, plain and simple.

          The monarch family in question has a convicted rapist (aka Temu Jeffrey) and the wife of the king (more known as Queen.Nette Marit) has some rather questionable by ties and contacts to Epstein. It’s her son by different marriage/family that is the rapist.

          So - in no shapes, events, terms or folding of space did Temu Joffrey (Marius Borg Høiby) get into rape vicinity of Epstein. And I beboerne er can rule out lesbian rape by the now Queen.

          Meaning these two things (rape and Epstein vicinity of unknown intimacy) exist, but the vend diagram is not touching

      They’re called kings but they don’t even make insane pronouncements or make nonstop executive orders demanding that the tide will not come in.

        Then why aren’t they sent to jail when they get caught raping children with Epstein?

      Of 30 countries in the EEA, 8 are monarchies: BE, DK, ES, LI, LU, NL, NO, SE.

      EDIT: If I counted correctly, Europe as a whole has 4 more monarchies than that: AD, MC, UK, VA
