There are few countries in the world that has a king and queen ruling now. It was the oldest form of governance I suppose. Most noticeable thing from today's perspective is that once anyone is reigned a king it is passed down the generations! Kings or Queens lead a lavish lifestyle and also protect their subjects from foreign enemies. They also had numerous maids, butlers, servants and even wives and consorts. I read the news today that the Thai king has stripped off all the titles of a consort who served him for 34 years (or is she 34 years old). It was alleged that she tried to take the place of the queen. This made me think that being loyal to a king bring so many accolades and fortune, but a little bit of crack in it can ruin everything. Would you be wanting to work under a king? Or maybe those roles are passed down generations too. News link
A few days later the palace released images of the short-haired Sineenat in combat fatigues shooting weapons, flying a jet and preparing to parachute from a plane, as well as holding the king’s hand.

I have just read it from a bed time stories for children. Now it is happening. Anything could happen therefore as far as power, greed and money are concerned.

That is because there are still men to be the kings, if there are no more boys were born in kingdom then the generation of kings will fade.

I wouldn’t even want to work under a President, especially the one we have now. The King and Queen of Spain’s daughters went to camp with my granddaughter. They were very sweet girls.
