Princes can be monarchs, but not in a country that has a king. If you want to be nit-picky, you could call them royals.

Not nearly as complicated as the succession to supreme Soviet chairperson/secretary/janitor/whatever was.  Geez we had people whose entire career was trying to piece that one together.

That Royal Clock Tower is enormous.  It isn't just tall, but the base is huge as well. 

I have a weakness for really big and tall structures  :blush:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
