Not to shabby if I say so myself.
Only 700 minor people attended, but in Potsdam people were waving the flag of Prussia, and Die Welt had a poll on their website that showed around 63 Percent of the people who voted want to restore the monarchy.
Long live the Prince of the Prussia (He is a stockbroker I believe) and the Princess of Isenburg (dk what she does) |

| How is it outdated? They are completely functional citizens of Germany. One is a stockbroker and the other is a banker. There are hundreds of royal families in Germany, notably the Junkers, House of Lorraine-Brabant, House of Wittelsbach, House of Zähringen, House of Ascania, House of Hohenzollern, House of Wettin (Its branches are innumerable), and the Ernestine duchies. |

| Outdated in the sense they are not very influential and are no longer in power. Yes, yes I knew all that. |

| Well, I still think its good. Its not like the government elevates them of a status because of their birth, but they still own many Imperial relics like crown jewels, which make big bucks for the German Royal Family. |

"Know history, in it lies your answers"- Sir Winston Churchill
Too bad that there bumbled00che's quote backfired, especially since know that we know he purposely got the Lusitania sunk, he drew the US into a war, and then again in WWII. |

| Why do people care about any royal weddings, its basically watching your tax money be eaten by fat royalty. |

| Our Hanoverian royalty is not fat...... It used to be, but it isn't. And no, the British monarchy makes an awful lot of money. |

| Why? You never give any answer to my questions than extreme liberalism. The monarchy is an integral part of the government. |

extreme liberalism ___ Huh?
Then reform your government. How long has having an unelected head of state been a good thing? |
