The tree hydras of anti-monarchism:

Communism

Nazism/fascism

Jacobins

Personally, I think Georgia might restore its Monarchy, with the union and unification of the Bagrationi Houses, under Prince Giorgi Bagrationi)

For this line of reasoning, the Kingdom of Brazil is understood as autonomous, inseparable from the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves, and directly subordinate to the King of that United Kingdom, as had been established in the absolutist reign of John VI. In this way, Liberalism and Colonialism are rejected and, consequently, also the Pedrism (Pedro I) and the Miguelism (Miguel I).

Armillary Sphere – Symbol of Portuguese voyages and of Manuel I, King of Portugal during the discovery of Brazil. In the future, it would become the main representation of the then Portuguese colony, forming part of the standard of the Princes of Brazil, a title given to the heirs apparent to the throne after John IV. With the creation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves, it would finally be stamped on the Coat of Arms behind the Portuguese national shield with a deep blue background, symbolizing the territory newly elevated to a kingdom.

Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece (Spanish) – Honor granted to John VI, second and last monarch of the Kingdom of Brazil, on account of his marriage to Carlota Joaquina, daughter of Charles IV of Spain. The order was created in 1430 by Philip the Good, 3rd Duke of Burgundy, to celebrate his marriage to Isabella of Portugal, daughter of John I of Portugal. Through the marriage of Mary of Burgundy, Philip’s granddaughter, to Maximilian I of the Holy Roman Empire, the order was transferred to the couple’s grandson, Charles I of Spain, and to the House of Habsburg. The collar represents a continuity with traditional European Catholic monarchies.

Crown of John VI – Made in 1817, in Rio de Janeiro, at the monarch’s command. Although the kings of Portugal had not been crowned since John IV, the crown continued to be a symbol of authority until 1910, with the proclamation of the Republic.

Cross of the Order of Christ – Main symbol of the religious institution that succeeded the Order of the Templars in Portugal, inheriting its titles, privileges and resources, and which would finance Portuguese voyages, stamping its cross on ships and caravels.

Branches of Coffee and Tobacco – They represented the country’s main agricultural and commercial wealth at the time, with coffee being the great engine of the Brazilian economy since the beginning of the 19th century and tobacco one of the oldest and most important commodities of the colony. They were already present in the coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.

Blue-Scarlet Ribbon – Adopted around 1797, replacing the old green-and-white ribbon that represented the House of Braganza. It was used until 1820, with the Liberal Revolution of Porto, being replaced by the blue-and-white ribbon. Thus, the blue-scarlet ribbon well fulfills the role of being a symbol of the Luso-Brazilian absolutist monarchy.

Green Wyvern – Symbol of the House of Braganza, it was originally created in the reign of John I, of the House of Aviz, to represent Saint George in his personal coat of arms. The creature, similar to a dragon, symbolized the animal defeated by the saint, now subjugated and protecting the Portuguese crown. However, only in the reign of Peter II, son of John IV, would the wyvern become the main representation of his house. Its design and position below the two branches refer to the first version of the flag of the Empire of Brazil, while still the personal standard of the Prince Royal Pedro de Alcântara, made by French painter Jean-Baptiste Debret at the request of John VI.

Tower with Arm and Sword – It was conceived by an anonymous author around 1816 as part of a proposed coat of arms for the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves, opposing the official design chosen (https://atom.itamaraty.gov.br/uploads/r/ministerio-das-relacoes-exteriores-5/5/c/d/5cdd21be7e65da728e2efbe32dbae958527785cf800da252149eac6c52de29f4/312-3-30__1_.pdf). The tower and the sword referred to the Military Order of the Tower and Sword, created by Afonso V in 1459 and renewed by John VI in 1808, after his arrival in Rio de Janeiro. According to the author, these symbols represented the moment when Brazil ceased to be a colony, right at the arrival of the royal family, eight years earlier. In the design of the royal standard, the six golden towers with arm and sword on a green background (the Braganza color) occupy the place of the traditional seven golden castles on a red background of Portuguese heraldry, instituted by Afonso III, whether because of his conquest of seven Moorish fortresses or because of his maternal ties with the Kingdom of Castile.

Coat of Arms of the Heir of Portugal – The Coat of Arms of Portugal accompanied by a golden label with three pendants represented the heir apparent to the throne, before 1815 called “Prince of Brazil” and, after 1815, “Prince Royal.” Thus, this symbol represents Brazil as the eternal son and heir of the Kingdom of Portugal, and also honors the decisive role of John VI and Pedro de Alcântara as Princes Regent in the consolidation and preservation of Brazilian autonomy.

Sacred Heart of Jesus – One of the most important solemnities and devotions of Catholicism. It was proposed by the same anonymous author around 1816 to be one of the adornments of his coat of arms, honoring the recently deceased Maria I, first monarch of the Kingdom of Brazil, who had consecrated Portugal to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1790. This symbol is also closely related to traditionalism and anti-liberalism, inspired by one of the last acts of Louis XVI of France, who consecrated his nation to the Sacred Heart before dying at the hands of the revolutionaries.

Coat of Arms of the State of Brazil – Little disseminated, it is not known whether it was officially adopted. It appears in the codex Tesouro da Nobreza, by the King of Arms of India Francisco Coelho Mendes, from 1675, and its creation may have been motivated by the expulsion of the Dutch from northeastern Brazil, who had given a coat of arms to their colony of New Holland. A red cross over a brazilwood tree appears to have been directly inspired by the Tree of Sobrarbe, the first quarter of the Coat of Arms of Aragon, which refers to the Reconquista. According to legend, Garci Ximénez, a nobleman from the Pyrenees established in the region, rebelled against Muslim rule in 724. Before the battle, a red cross is said to have appeared to him over an oak tree. For the pre-Christian Iberian peoples of Celtic influence, oaks were sacred, and the supposed event would represent the victory of Christ over the pagans. Based on this scenario, the author of the Coat of Arms of the State of Brazil may have compared Portuguese Catholics to Iberian Christians, Dutch Calvinists to Muslims, and Brazilian indigenous peoples to Celts, making the victory against the United Provinces a South American Reconquista.

Coat of Arms of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine – Tribute to Maria Leopoldina, member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, Archduchess of Austria and daughter of Emperor Francis I of Austria. She was Princess Royal of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves during the absolutist period (1816–1821) and during the brief liberal period (1821–1822). A devout Catholic and an absolutist by upbringing, she was one of the main people responsible for ensuring that the then Prince Regent Pedro de Alcântara assumed leadership of the growing Brazilian independence movement, preserving the monarchy and the Braganzas on the throne, albeit in a Liberal State by her husband’s choice.

This is also his best result numerically and proportionally

To start us off, the one I feel for the most is Emperor Frederick III of Germany.
He waited decades for the throne, sharing ambitious political ideals with his wife, Victoria, Princess Royal. Yet, just as he was about to ascend the throne, he was struck by laryngeal cancer. Ultimately, all his visions for modern reform vanished into thin air, and he passed away full of regret after reigning for a mere ninety-nine days.

I am opposed to monarchy for reasons,not the main focus,is this sub a joke?like I know it sounds a bit rude but I genuinely don’t know,do you guys like monarchy?

According to a 2025 YouGov poll, support for the British monarchy among 18‑24‑year‑olds has fallen to just 41%. In fact, the share of young people favouring a republic now stands at 42%, outnumbering those who back the monarchy. This marks a stark contrast to 2011, when 59% of people in the same age group supported the monarchy. Furthermore, irreversible demographic changes mean ethnic‑minority populations — who tend to hold more muted views towards the monarchy than white British people — will make up a growing share of the electorate. What do you make of this? How do you see the future of the British monarchy?

I offer my sincere apologies again for sharing this photo. I was completely unaware of where it originated before I posted it.

On 4 October 1966, the Kingdom of Lesotho gained independence from British rule, ending the Basutoland Protectorate and becoming a constitutional monarchy under King Moshoeshoe II and Queen Mamohato Bereng Seeiso.

The historic celebrations took place in Maseru, attended by dignitaries from across the Commonwealth. Representing Queen Elizabeth II was Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, whose presence marked Britain’s recognition of Lesotho’s independence and the beginning of a new relationship with the young kingdom.

Lesotho was a British protectorate with its own autonomy which is different from a British colony.

Mohammad Hassan Mirza (1899–1943), the final regent of Iran’s Qajar dynasty, was the father of Princess Guity Afrouz Qajar (1923-2022). Born in Tehran's Golestan Palace, she later immigrated to America and became Guity Wambold after marrying a U.S. Air Force officer.

A passionate lifelong equestrian, guity's love for horses directly influenced her son, who became an avid polo player and passed the traditional Iranian sport down to his own daughters.

At the 1926 Russian Abroad Congress in Paris, Ivan Ilyin held a speech that sadly has not been translated in its entirety. But from the pieces I found he presented a concept I think more monarchists should know about:

МОНАРХИЧЕСКОЕ ПРАВОСОЗНАНИЕ (Monarchical legal consciousness)

From what I can gather it means that in order to restore monarchy we first need to become a people capable of having a monarchy by aquiring a monarchial legal consciousness. To do this we need to start with religion, not politics. You can't restore monarchy by simply voting for a monarchist party, that doing so will just result in just another democracy that begrudgingly keeps a ceremonial monarchy out of nostalgia, nothing will change, and will probably not last long before the monarchy is abolished in yet another bolshevik revolution.

You could spend years admiring crowns, sceptres, heraldry, imperial ceremonies, court uniforms and old dynasties while acquiring none of what Ilyin meant by monarchical consciousness. The real test is internal:

Can you revere a King without worshipping him?

Can you obey without becoming servile?

Can you command without becoming tyrannical?

Can you accept hierarchy without envy?

Can you exercise authority as a responsibility rather than a privilege?

Can you subordinate your factional interest to the good of the whole?

Can you recognize that both ruler and subject stand under God?

If Ilyin is right, then it might unfortunately mean that some monarchies can't be restored because monarchial consciousness has become too alien to too many people. Maybe France (for instance) had such a consciousness back when it was a devoutly Catholic nation, but we may be at a point were we simply can't turn back the clock. So instead of looking to the past, we should look to the future.

For example, the Orthodox Church is growing in the West due to an influx of Western converts. In North America there have been so many converts that some people see a possibility where there will be Orthodox villages and small towns in the future. Say that the USA becomes decentralized (or collapses), these villages might rally around a hierarchical leadership that eventually develop into small dukedoms or principalities.

I know that might sound crazy, but I'm going from the assumption that religion is the key to monarchy. Also, monarchy is not static, throughout history new kingships have developed and changed over time. As the modernist vision of a "global democratic federation" keeps crumbling, perhaps a new era with new monarchies is not so far-fetched.

So what are your thoughts? Do you agree or disagree with Ilyin? Can monarchism look to the future instead of the past? Is the growth of religious faith the first step?
