I see the situation in quite the opposite way; these high profile cases spearheading the effort to get the soviet/communist abuses acknowledged and establishing the principle of restitution that'll then help all those subjected to confiscations etc

I can only echo the sentiment that I care very little about restitution of former royals, while entire families were dispossessed or wiped out in the same periods of time. Not like anyone cared to return the millions stolen from the Jews during WW2
