Princess Sofia of Sweden Reveals ‘HATE STORM’ as She Transitioned From Model to Royal
14th August 2018
Since the old requirements of ebenbürtigkeit have fallen by the wayside, the princes of the world now have their pick of ‘trophy wives’ without the bother of having built up a fortune first.
Unsurprisingly, this candidate pool runs heavily to actresses (e.g. Duchess of Sussex) and models (e.g. Duchess of Värmland). Such people can be presumed to have adjusted to the 24/7 publicity machine that is one of the chief defects of the royal life. The primary constraints are finding candidates that aren’t tainted by the psychological problems for which actresses and models are famou, but princes usually have the best vetting systems available to them, so this ought not to be a problem.
I predict that Diana Spencer will be the last ‘blue blood’ to marry into the British royal family; such people no longer have the background for it.
