Nobility and royalty became such a stench in the nostrils of many countries in the 20th century that governments have disenfranchised their nobility, stolen their titles and robbed them of their status and power. Such was an act of greed or theft. For example, several countries have created constitutional provisions in the supreme law of their lands that totally forbids the use of titles altogether. The nobility therefore cannot use what is rightfully theirs under threat of law. The following countries have such provisions:</div> <br> <div> <b>Austria</b><font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial"><b> (article 149-1 of the Constitution)</b></font></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Cyprus</b></font> <b>(article 28-3 & 4 of the Constitution)</b></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Egypt</b></font> <b>(article 22 of the Constitution)</b></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Greece</b></font> <b>(article 4-7 of the Constitution)</b><font size="4" color="#000000" face="Arial"><img src="467fce0c0.jpg" border="0" width="206" height="268" align="RIGHT" hspace="0" vspace="0"></font></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Japan</b></font> <b>(article 14 of the Constitution for hereditary titles only)</b></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Turkey</b></font> <b>(article 174-7 of the Constitution for the titles of Efendi, Bey et Pasha)(</b><i><b>Almanach de Bruxelles</b></i><b> WEEKLY NEWSLETTER N  13, 10th January 2004 (revised on 31st January 2004)(</b><font size="3" color="#0000FF" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.almanach.be/" target="_top" title="http://www.almanach.be"><u><b><u>www.almanach.be</u></b></u></a></font><b>)</b></div> <br> <div> Governments can legislate anything that the people will tolerate, but laws do not always make things right–only what is truly and actually right makes right. Might, on the other hand, is dangerous and whimsical. It can be cruel and heartless, because political opinion is unstable depending on what is in vogue or who is in power. We need a firm foundation on which to stand, not what is “<b>politically right</b>” in one moment of time, but what is really and truly right for all people. To steal and rob, for example, is generally and universally recognized as wrong in almost all cultures. It is obvious and self-evident. Yet the Western world is guilty of perpetrating this crime against their fellow countrymen–the titled nobility of their nations. </div> <br> <div> Of course, if one's country forbids titles, one can move to a new location and use what is rightfully one’s possession. But that does not make things right. One is forced to leave one's father land and live in exile if one wants to use what is rightfully theirs. However, well-meaning at the time, what these governments did was obviously an act of oppression and injustice. </div> <br> <div> Laws regarding titles <i>should</i> exist, but not to cheat one’s fellow countryman out of what he rightfully owns. Rather the laws should prohibit and punish “<b>the snake in the grass</b>”---the charlatan or scam artist who sells counterfeit titles of nobility. Power over these titles should be recognized as the exclusive and inviolate right of sovereigns, whether regnant or “<b>de jure.</b>” This right which is inseparably connected to sovereignty in law is called <b>Ius Honorum</b>–a monarch’s royal or noble prerogative to honor and reward others. The regal right to bestow such distinctions, is the same royal privilege that gives them the right to grant knighthoods, or any other kind of office or status. It is a right that continues to survive regardless of what  modern countries do to stamp it out. (See: “<font size="4" color="#BF0000" face="Benguiat Bk BT"><a href="id31.html" target="_top" title="SOVEREIGNTY, NOBILITY AND ROYALTY "><u><b>Sovereignty & The Future of Nobility and Royalty</b></u></a></font>”) The unfortunate bias against titles has done some very real damage not only to the families that have had their status stolen from them, but to individuals, sometimes in very personal ways.</div> <br> <div> As an example, on November 15, 2005, a lovely Japanese Imperial Princess was forced to give up her succession rights and imperial title, because there were no eligible males in the Imperial family she could marry, so she had to marry a commoner and therefore become one herself. This happened because the Constitution of 1947 destroyed or abolished the royal and noble houses that carried imperial titles. As a result, fifty-one ex-Princes, ex-Marquesses, etc. had to leave the Imperial Family and over nine hundred fifty other noble families were robbed of their right to use their titles. <b>(</b><i><b>Almanach de Bruxelles, </b></i>WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS N  96 & 97, 13th & 20th August 2005) (<font size="4" color="#0000FF" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.almanach.be/" target="_top" title="http://www.almanach.be"><u><b><u>www.almanach.be</u></b></u></a></font>) The law simply made it impossible for Princess Sayako to remain with the family of her birth and have a legal marriage. She was cheated out of her natural birthright. And the Japanese Imperial family also faces another problem. No boy has been born to the family since 1965, except very recently, and only a male can inherit the Chrysanthemum Throne of Japan according to the Constitution. Hence, the Imperial family could die out. But there is a popular movement to allow a female to reign. It will be too late, however, for the former Princess. She will forever be excluded, along with her posterity.</div> <br> <div> A subsequent government, or new constitution, has no lawful right to abolish what it did not create. Again, such is an act of theft–a crime against a segment of society. The following countries, although not abolishing titles, do not recognize them, which is a lesser crime, but still an act of unnecessary discrimination, bias or prejudice.</div> <br> <div> <b>Bulgaria</b></div> <div> <b>Estonia</b></div> <div> <b>Italy</b><font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial"><b> (the add-on surnames are recognized if conferred before 28 October 1922 i.e. before the fascist period)</b></font></div> <div> <b>Lettonia</b></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Malta</b></font><b> (Republic of)</b></div> <div> <b>Poland</b></div> <div> <b>Portugal</b></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Serbia & Montenegro</b></font><img src="46bcf26e0.jpg" border="0" width="242" height="366" align="RIGHT" hspace="0" vspace="0"><b> </b></div> <div> <font size="3" color="#000000" face="Arial Black"><b>Switzerland </b></font><b>(</b><i><b>Almanach de Bruxelles</b></i><b> WEEKLY NEWSLETTER N  13, 10th January 2004 (revised on 31st January 2004)(</b><font size="3" color="#0000FF" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.almanach.be/" target="_top" title="http://www.almanach.be"><u><b><u>www.almanach.be</u></b></u></a></font><b>)</b></div> <br> <div> Most of the former communist (Soviet) countries have today the constitutional possibility to confer titles and/or nobility, but do not do so.

They not only steal from individuals by scamming them, but they reduce the worth and value of real and true titles. Just as much as counterfeit dollar bills, if allowed to propagate, would reduce the confidence a nation has in its money, the scoundrels, who sell phony noble titles, make people suspicious of, and doubtful about, all title holders. Such are, therefore, enemies to nobility and royalty, along with countries that have legislated against a person’s personal property and robbed them of their right to use their own titles---titles that have been in their families for generations.

There are many benefits to such a constitutional monarchical system, but only if high birth means exemplary behavior and lives of service and sacrifice.</div> <br> <div> Scandals rob royal and noble families of their magical aura and charm and give them a bad smell or odor which is hard for the public to bear.
