- Title
Substance and Vanity at the Palace: Monarchy and Royalty Beyond the Twentieth Century.
- Authors
Blain, Neil
- Abstract
The article focuses on the government systems in Great Britain. It cites that the British monarchy appears to resist modernization, instead representing conservation, social hierarchy, and tradition. It mentions that the constitutional position of the Dutch Royal House had received ongoing attention in the Netherlands, where it has been important for them to be able to perceive their monarchy as consistent with the requirements of political modernity. It emphasizes that it is important that the British monarchy alone does not easily reflect any sort of modernizing development. However, royal families were a prime commodity for both mythic invention and substantive entertainment for media income flows.
