I’m not sure. The most successful, enduring ‘royal family’ in the world appears to be the one that has been the most careful to conserve all the ostentation.

- fakedang 3y agoWell Japanese royalty is most certainly not ostentatious.
- cal85 3y agoFair point, enduring wasn’t the best word. But point is, the British one is a standout successful one, and also a standout ostentatious one. Every time there’s some big royal thing going on, people talk about how it’s too ostentatious and it will never survive like that, but revealed preferences seem to show that is its greatest strength.
