The coronation of King Charles shows how the British monarchy often attracts the most attention. But there are wealthier, more powerful monarchies around the world.
“Allowing their political power to shrink virtually to zero has been the secret of their survival,” write Robert Hazell and Bob Morris in “Despite their slimmed down appearance, the European royals enjoy lavish lives. Sweden’s royal family has over a dozen royal palaces and properties. Each summer, Norway’s royal family sets sail on its, to compete in regattas or visit fishing villages along the country’s scenic fjords.
The al-Thani family was in charge of parts of Qatar since the 1800s and increased its power while the area was a British protectorate. It’s a similar story with al-Saud family in Saudi Arabia, which consolidated its power and pushed back rivals with the help of the British. Yet Gulf states’ wealth and control over global energy supplies allows them to continue playing prominent roles in geopolitics.
