This is indeed unfortunate. Steady decline all over Europe. It's my favorite continent and I really regret it.

That's depressing. It's a shame that Henri, similar to other modern royals, seem to want to throw away the little power they have left. Perhaps they do this out of a sense of self-preservation. It is to no avail, though; the modernists will oust them as soon as it is feasible, no matter how liberal they become. It's a sad, sad reality.
