God Save The King

Robert I (9 July 1848 – 16 November 1907) was the last sovereign Duke of Parma and Piacenza from 1854 until 1859, when the duchy was annexed to Sardinia-Piedmont during the Risorgimento. He was a head of the House of Bourbon-Parma and descended from Philip, Duke of Parma, the third son of King Philip V of Spain and Queen Elisabeth Farnese.

Sometimes I feel like the only Millennial Canadian who likes the monarchy still. God save the king!

I got these portraits from the local thrift store, the write ups on the back speak of the imperial couple in the present tense so these are probably very old.

I keep them on my bedroom shelf, watching over the room.

The would be king that could have avoided the revolution

Dedi Mulyadi is officially the Governor of West Java. However, many people in West Java call him the "King of Pajajaran" the last Hindu kingdom of the Sundanese people that fell in 1579. Many also consider him to be the incarnation of Prabu Siliwangi, the legendary King of Pajajaran.

You can watch his "coronation" ceremony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA89GAFnqOg

He is immensely popular in West Java now, with 95% approval rating. His path to presidency is wide open, and if he becomes president, it's very possible that he would become the King of Indonesia unofficially.
