I found a video excursion to the palace of the late and unlamented Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu. It suggests decadent royals about to be overthrown by the masses. Note that most monarchs had more modest starts. This applies to such types as the Hapsburg, Hohenzollern, Glucksberg, Saxe-Coberg-Gotha, Braganza, Orange, and even Capet dynasties.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
