Patrick Weber is a royalist.
As a young boy he developed a passionate interest in kings and crowns and today has become a renowned specialist on the subject. His new book is a lively exploration of the behind-the-scenes of monarchy and explains why kings are able to maintain their popularity despite our fast and furious world. Ten crowned heads in Europe and three or four times that in the rest of the world: not bad for a system that many believe hopelessly outdated.
Long live kings! is not simply a complete guide to all the monarchies of the globe, but it is also a richly humorous book in its descriptions of protocol, inheritance and wealth and the advantages of monarchy.
Patrick Weber vigorously rocks the boat of common belief by stating that you can often find more democracy in a monarchy than in a republic. Between the two, the more pompous and uncompromising is not always the one you would think.
