If we have a thread for French royals, I’ve overlooked it. Anyway, Louis de Bourbon, Duc d’Anjou has tweeted his extreme sorrow and dismay that the statue of his ancestor, Louis XVI, suffered minor damage during otherwise mostly peaceful protests in Louisville, KY. twitter went off in the most delightful way. |

Ahahaha. So many delightful guillotine memes. What's crazy is that there are actual comments from bootlicking monarchists mixed in.

I loved “do we need to rebuild the Bastille and burn it down *again*?”

Tweeter 1: Who the hell is Louis XVI? Ohhhh you mean Citizen Louis Capet
Tweeter 2: Nah not any more because he was de-Capet-ated

Looks like the inability to read the room is genetic.

My fave: “I hope that the authorities will restore the statue to historical accuracy by replacing Louis’s hand and removing his head.”

This crossed my path the other day, and it combines two of my favorite topics: deposed non-royal "royals", and the infosphere. "German princess" Theodora is in court pursuing the right to be forgotten and have some old websites remove her drunken, racist rants as a 27 year old. |

To keep it six degrees of Marie-Chantal Miller this princess is the daughter of Ludwig Ferdinand Prinz zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. Ludwig is the cousin of Princess Benedikte of Denmark's late husband. Princess Benedikte of Denmark is MC' aunt by marriage.

Unrelated, mostly, but this family tree business reminded me: Last night I had to explain the Habsburg jaw deformity to Mr. Chonies. |
