performing the power

May I first take this opportunity to congratulate the newly wed, may life be both long and as far a comfortable goes, it is all within the tittles. Personally I had a spectacular afternoon watching Internet live, drinking champagne with strawberries and watching all the comments popping up on the site of SVT.

It was splendid; it was all fun and games until it came to my attention, that the monarchy does not at all turn a blind eye to the difference between us commoners and themselves. –and in certain situations they should not, it is just that this one I can not get my head around. When A Crown Prince chose’s his wife she naturally becomes Crown Princesses and from there on climbs to the queen title. Whilst young Prince Daniel now, will forever be a prince and She, the Queen, and her becoming a ruling queen is a phenomenon that only changed in 1980 in Sweden.

How did power come to be? If I attempt logically to mount the question, I would conclude humans as flock-animals, and from here on see natures strongest as the obvious leading character. This would mean a male character back then, when requirement was physical brute, and strength and violence need to hold a position. In later history, power was passed on in blood and in the case of dictatorship, still is. Blood has also been used to strengthen political positions and at one point in history it could all be seen as an international inbreed ballet, but that is another project.

But in Sweden’s political focus on “equal rights” -for woman mainly, there is a double moral; You are invited for tea, but only as an guest. You are part of the family, though only as an observer. You are welcomed to the country, when you have learned the language, and you are welcomed to the castle but only as a peasant.

Dear Daniel, this all matters, I assume, very little to you. I imagine love came in forehand and so it should. But this is not really about you, it is that which you are now part of and presenting, a moral right for a equal people.


PS. I love your speech.

TRUE LOVES KISS

With the last months unbearable tense events concerning Madeleine, and NOW, her sister, on the brinks of stepping into those royal ranks of marriage, the plot is thickening…. How do you sleep at night, whom can you trust?

I have curiously devoted time, God knows why -if such a being exists, if so, he must be ludicrous in creating me. But time is however being devoted to this, singular quest called princesses. I tried to put my fingers on it now for some time, but alas, they, are randomly circling all part of the skies, very much like a seagull drunk on absinthe.
Now, I have handled my depression with a selection of movies, princess movies. After suffering through bad acting though an entertaining plot in Disney’s “Enchanted”, I learned that first sighted love, have stopped existing in films. And there we are….. This, should hopefully give reality and future generations a chance of less frustration.

BUT, True loves kiss, how does one find it? – If you are, and once again please imagine yourself, a princess. How can you be sure that the man you are dating is not holding your hand because of the exotic idea, entitled prince? Something tremendous is hiding in that shadow. I am a man, I know how this works, in early years, we are far from the cleanest of souls and will bend easily for profit.

So, princes, how do you single out the bad ones from the good ones.. Is there a naughty and nice list involved? Do you go under cover?

Yours truly
Rudi

Public decisions make a princess take decisions publicly.

I find myself returning slightly sooner to the “love case” taking place in Sweden’s capital, the intentionally accounted for. The occasion is rooted in a metro magazine, a column in fact, that has that keen and reflecting eye over the entitled situation, which got me blogging….
Anders Pihlblad, presents some curious and well chosen words on the media reactions. He says; “As the Royal family is our “ideal” family, we are stirred and curious when something un-ideal is taking place. We find this interesting as the Monarchy has lost its political influence, and because of this, there is pretty much only one task left for them to conduct; producing children. This is why, in media, the sex life of the royalties becomes interesting”

Meanwhile in the East. The Indonesian Teen model Manohara, whom married to the Malaysians Princes Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra (at the age of 14, -now 18’teen), is inspiring new depths between those old national wounds of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Manohara (meaning “Hart theft”) claims the Malaysian Prince kidnapped her during a pilgrimage, and for nine months abused her in all classical ways possible. Last year she managed to escape with the help of both her mother and the American embassy. When the press published the cover stories, Indonesians started protesting. In Jakarta, it was reported riots outside the Malaysian embassy. Both the Governments have withdrawn politically from the case, and stated that this is a private affair between husband and wife.

In her home country, she publicly appears as the tragic heroine, badly treated by an obsessed prince. While in Malaysia, she is considered the little devil liar, hunting for fame and glory, and orchestrated by her mother.

My point is that, even if the Prince did these things or not, it is now out in the public. Even if Jonas did cheat or not, it is still out in the public, and the public point of view seems to matter a grate deal to royalties as royal decisions are often made to keep the myth of the ideal portrait in harmony. -Which I find tricky, as the ideal of royalty is also quite a myth.

Fredrik V of Denmark-Norway (1746-66) ruled from the bottom of his bottle and was preferably surrounded by prostitutes, -while by doing so. Christian VII of Denmark was known as insane with sadistically preferences, and we are not even getting started on France and Spain in those days…

Returning to Manohara. She is now playing in a famous TV series, about a young woman who is abused by her husband. She is also giving “expensive” lectures, and the documentary about her adoption is running continuously on Indonesian Television. The Prince is not giving any interviews.

its royalties, its human..

Tiny books of history explain us that it was 88 years time since last cancelation of a royal engagement, here in Scandinavia. Details concerning the newly split Swedish couple are nothing of my concern, as those discussions can easily fly about with one less voice. As well, concerning anyone’s personal love life, there is a refined fine line between common curiosity and personal profit.

In 1922, Crown prince Fredrik of Denmark (23) was engaged with his cousin, Princess Olga of Greek and Denmark. A combination of blood itself that created international headlines. These where also the end of times, when marrying outside the royal circles, was considered quite reckless. The engagement did however not last for long (3 years), and in those days like in ours, speculations under a lot less twittered attention, closer to royal professionalized eavesdroppers, to spread the word. In this case it was also the princess whom broke off the engagement, and the theories are, how to put this, book thick.

It is quite clear to me, that little have changes within humanity when it comes to the power of knowledge, and how reckless we tend to use it. Human error happens everywhere and only ignorance would tell you otherwise.

Jonas and Madeleine, in between all of this, just don’t give a shit about the rest of us, you do whatever you need to do. Yours Supportably, Rudi.

The new blood in the blue blood, a portrait.

Finding myself in Japan is also unquestionable confronting the royal monarchy’s story of today’s princesses and coming queen to be, on what’s hot and what’s aught to be given a second thought.
Firstly it seems, if am so brave to make such a distinction, that in all marriages where one are wed into a family, to the title of princess I remark, comes at the prize of risks, and is as unnatural as riding a unicycle, to ones own funeral.

As the eldest daughter of Hisashi Owada, a senior diplomat, and President of the International Court of Justice, Princess Masako worked in Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, side by side with her father. Indeed a well educated creature, already fluid in English, frensch and with good knowledge of Russian and Spanish… with political interests, for the future of Japan.

In the briefest of seconds, imagine the lucky star being you, at the admirable tunnel of shining light and possibility, and I ask; how much would you sacrifice, at the equilibrium between love and career?

To the faith that awaits the one whom chooses the kiss of a frog, comes a remarkable responsibility. But everything in its order and place. Masako first met the Crown Prince during their studies November 1986, and since that faithful day, they where seen in several public occasions throughout 87. But family and honour runs thick. Not dealt the most convincing hand of public popularity, would make their relation a challenge. Masako, was the granddaughter of Yutaka Egashira, Chairman of Chisso, a corporation highly infamous for the Minamata disease, a major pollution scandal that occurred in Japan. And with this name bound to her, it made close to impossible for them to marry. However a prince or male, of any sorts that is, fixed on love will chose to see beyond honours and the past. He purposed in several occasion and finally she accepted his hand in the year of 93.

As royalty, a monarchy with no legal political influence, Masako, had to give up her passion for politics. But the point I am aiming for is deeper then the desire of ones wish, it is within the expectations of your country and people, the ones you are there to serve, public opinion and pressure.

Eight year after their marriage, they had a daughter, which blew fire of an old discussion, a lively debate whether the the Imperial Household Law of 1947 should be changed from that of primogeniture (male-preference) to equal primogeniture, which would allow a woman to inherit the Chrysanthemum Throne. It is an old tradition of male hierarchy all over the world, which luckily has ceased to exist in larger parts, but not all.

Princess Masako has remained largely out of the public eye since 2002, reportedly due to emotional disorders, which many speculate is caused by the pressure to produce a male heir as well adjusting to life in the Royal Family. In July 2004, she was diagnosed as suffering from adjustment disorder and is reported to be seeking treatment.
On July 11, 2008, Prince Naruhito sought public understanding for his ailing wife. "I would like the public to understand that Masako is continuing to make her utmost efforts with the help of those around her. Please continue to watch over her kindly and over the long term."

What does, HRH Mette-Marit, Marta Louise and Madeleine have in common?

It is now March and I was just thinking, except being of the same gender, with a royal title starting on P, a surname starting on M, and the same linguistic roots in the N pond… what does M.M.M have in common….????

Two are married -one in a year will be wed, two out of their men has a common job and one of these two should have a blogg tribute to himself, that being out of various reasons.
M.M.M. attains various works on the palaces behalf, one less, one more then the others and one almost lost her rights to the “P” but now performs less the activities bestowed upon her birth. TWO are born into that responsibility while one chose it, as mentioned, one almost un-chose that.

Two have children, one outside, one in a year perhaps two. One has recently been sick soon travelling away; the other one has been away, now just coming home, and the last stayed both “home and away” teaching the skills of believes.

Now that we have played the economical reasoning game for a while, we might find ourselves beaten, to the point that there are no common area for the three… we might be wrong..

However, based on all the news that I within an impressively short amount of time got a hold of, I discovered one thing:

The three of them are taking a lot of criticism from both the conspirators public and the newspapers, in one beating or the other. But they stay headstrong, sharp-sighted woman, deemed to go on.. and with that I bless you.

Happy upcoming 8’th of March, to you and ALL other princesses of any gender out there.
