'He believes in an essential, sublimated relationship between the French people, the aristocracy, the land and, to an extent, God.' Quite a lot of sublimation going on here. Here's a sharing link for a non-subscriber (it's a great read): on.ft.com/477PEFy
Meet Charles of France. He’s been waiting his whole life for his nation to reinstate the monarchy
Thanks for the link! I saw this article mentioned earlier this morning but don't have a subscription so couldn't read it.
I'd not heard of him - as the article recognises, he doesn't possess a hereditary claim to the former French crown, and dismisses the person most widely recognised as its representative - "it would not be Jean". A better prompt for discussion of the monarchichal ghost, though.
