Éamon de Valera reportedly offered Donough O'Brien, 16th Baron Inchiquin, a direct paternal descendant of the High King Brian Boru, the title of Prince-President of the Irish Republic during the era of the Irish Free State. It was suggested to de Valera that Ireland might revive a Gaelic royal or titular head-of-state line, leading de Valera to approach Lord Inchiquin through an intermediary. The offer was declined, and Ireland instead instituted the office of the President of Ireland.

It is really passed some time since the death of the late king Harald V, there is no any announcements nor speculations about the date or preparations for this ceremony. It is not obligatory so it came into question, is there even going to be an consecration ceremony for TM King and Queen? What do you think?

Note: I think it would be magnificent idea if Haakon VIII have coronation ceremony in honor of great king Haakon VII, but its, sadly, impossible due to constitutional ban.

Discussion With regards to younger children of monarchs and heirs

7 Upvotes

Do you believe it is better to establish early on that they will be expected to either support the monarch/heir or create a life outside of the royal sphere? Or should younger royal children be raised without that influencing their childhoods and only establish that fact when they're adults?

Which monarchies have done the best with developing spares who understand their positions and successfully support the monarchy/live independently without bringing trouble to it? Which monarchies could have done better?
