    ROYALTY nr EUROPE.
The Spectator has a curious article on Euro
pean royalty. The total number of European
sovereigns—excluding the non-hereditary Pope
and the semi-Asiatic Sultan—amounted, on
the Ist of January of the present year, to ex
actly 89. Of this number, no fewer than 30 are
■ of direct German origin, that is born and bred
in Germany, while of the remaning nine, there
#are four of German descent. The only five
non-German sovfeteigns of Europe,the rulers of
prance, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden,
iare, however, more or less closely related to
German families. The following extract will
be read with interest at the present moment: —
“The marriage of the heir apparent of Great
Britain with Princess Alexandra has brought
our Royal Family into some. peculiar ' rela
tionships, which may have the effect of adding
still more cohfusion to the great Schleswig-Hol
stein puzzle. "While the present King of Den
mark is fattier to the Princess of "Wales, his
rival, as far as tte German Duchies are con
cerned, Prince Frederick of Augustenburg, is
“likewise nearly connected by marriage with
Queen Victoria; and both on the Glucksburg
and the Augustenburg side there are a host of
morganatic princes and princesses which bring
the relationship down to the very root Of the
Schleswig-Holstein temple of the winds. Prince
Frederick of Augustenburg, the pretender,;
gave his,hand, in 1856, to Princess Adelaide
of Hohenlolie-Langenburg, whose mother is aj
daughter of the late Duchess of Kent, by he
first husband, and consequently half-sister of
Queen Victoria. IT'he house of Hohenlohe-
Langenburg belongs to the 'mediatised’ f ami
lies of Germany, and does not stand very high,
since the Hohenlohes, detesting, the law of
primogeniture, have split into no less
than; eleven different lines, all rich in
members but poor in property. Nevertheless,
in becoming the rival of the new King of Den
mark, the Prince of Augustenburg has the con
solation that the family of the former fs hot m
much better position. The eldest brother of
■ King Christian’, head of the honse-of Schleswig-
Holstein-Glucksburg, is in the position of a
country squire' in Holstein, and scarcely any
members of his family* have' risen above this
rank. The jeldest of the eight brothers and
sisters, Princess Marie, aunt of our Princess of
Wales, married in 1837, a Colonel Lasberg,
who died in 1843; after which she united her
self in second nuptials to a Count Hohenthal, a
gold-stiek in waiting at the Court of Dresden.
The second aunt of the Prince of Wales is
widow of the semi-lunatic Duke of Anhalt-
Bernborg; while the the third, whose history is
said to be spiced with romance, has become
abbess of the monastry of Itzehoe. Dryden’s
‘ ‘I Save a sister, abbess in Tefceras,
W no lost her lover on her bridal day* ’ ’
is said to have been put, with a variation, in
the mouth of King Christian, in a spiteful
play performed at Copenhagen. -The five
Brothers of the King, including the head of the
families, are altogether social necessities; two
being country squires',- the third an officer in
the Austrian service, and the fourth an(/fifth
majors in the army of Prussia. Consequently,
though the rise of the Glucksburg family has
been more rapid than that of the Coburgs, it
will probably be confined, at least for some
time, to the sons and daughters of King Chris
; lian, the Leopold of his house. However,
ias it is, the achievement is already some
: thing marvelous. But a dozen years
ago, an unknown member of a. quite un
known family, Prince Christian of Schleswig-
Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg has now be
come a king whose voice is heard in the coun
cils of Europe, with a daughter destined to)
wear the diadem of the noblest empire in the
world, and last, not least, a son possessing the
privilege of addressing his own father, as Mon
sieur monfrere. It is not often that a young
ster of eighteen becomes a king before his
sire, and has the pleasure of complimenting
his progenitor on his accession to the throne.
But for the existence of Royal Family alliances,
the ' case might ‘ never have' happened; for
were not the sister a Princess of Wales, no
Wind could possibly have drifted the young
Glucksburg mid-shipman upon the throne of
the Hellenes.” f ■
The writer gives the following information
respecting the fortunes of the royal families of
Europe: «It is scarcely necessary to say that,
with the .exception of one or two countries,
such as Great Britain or Russia, the possession
of wealth is a : very important consideration in
the formation of family alliances. To most
constitutional rulers of the present day the
possession of a private fortune has become an
absolute necessity, since the official income,
the 1 civil list’ is seldom, it ever, large enough
to enable themito keep their real or ideal posi
tion, besides allowing them to gratify the
numerous claims of liberality and benevolence
which arise unceasingly. Most princes know,
too, that it is a. bad policy to walk the
Streets with a cotton umbrella and hobnailed
boots, like the late King Louis Phillippe;
or to drive hard bargains in herrings and cheese,
after the manner of Dutch .William I. A roya
marriage itself is a very expensive thing, and
has mostly to be provided for out of family
funds, there being but one British Parliament
in the worfd, ready and willing to treat any.
little bills arising out of them as extras of the
civil list. The nuptials of the Prince of Wales
last year, though nothing out of the way in
splendor or magnificence, cost exactly £23,155
which the • House of Commons granted with
only one-dissentient vote, but which the most
loyal of continental Chambers would certainly
de’clihe to contribute as absolutely beyond their
power. Moreover, the clear annual income, or
salary, of half the sovereigns of Europe does not
amount to £23,455, and supposing this to be the
usual expenses of a royal marriage, and there
being no private fortune in the background,
the members of all these families would be re
duced to morganatic alliances. Fortunately
for royal ladies, there are a number of reigning
houses in Europe possessing immense wealth],
and this is getting gradually distributed by a
number of well-contrived family connections
throughout the whole royal class. Up to the
■commencement of the present century, the
richest sovereign family of Europe, excluding
Bussia, was the house of Hapsburg-Lorraine.
They possessed, and still possess, enormous
■estates within the Austrian empire- as private
property, which, though mismanaged inmost
instances, produce "above a million sterl
ing per annum. Vastly superior to
this property, though it cannot be called
private in every respect, is that of the
reigning family of Bussia. According to Baron
von Haxthausen, more than a. million square
miles of cultivated land and forests, besides
some two miUion square"miles of uncultivated
land, mountains and; steppes, partly in Euro
pean and partly in Asiatic Bussia, belong di
- recfly to the Emperor, and are under his abso
lute control; The real revenue derived from
these gigantic possessions is Unknown ; but it
is generally estimated .that the expenditure of
the Bussian Court, including the allowance paid
to the numerous grand dukes and duchesses,
cannot be less than about three millions sterling
•a year. The rate of expenditure of the impe
rial family may be estimated from the recorded
v fact thaty-when the late Empress Dowager, the
widow of Nicholas, went to Italy, in the:
summer of 1860, her suite comprised above
200 persons, with an adequate number of
horses and the cost of maintenance
of which was calculated at the period by Ger
man newspaper correspondents at £3,000 per
■diem. The coronation of Alexander . H. at
Moscow, in September, 1856, is estimated on
like authority to have cost above eight millions
•of roubles, or some £1,300,000. These enor
mous fortunes of the Imperial Family of Bus
sia, as well as of. the House of Hapsburg, are
.gradually getting distributed through blood al
liances. Many of the smaller families,
for example, have greatly enriched themselves
by their matrimonial connection with the
reigning house of Russia. Czarina Catherine ;
11., a Princess of the House of Anhalt, made a
present of most valuable domains in Southern
Russia, comprising an area of about 230 square
miles, to her kinsfolk at home, the income of
which they enjoy to the present day. It is this
lavish liberality which has not a little contri
buted to the eagerness with which Rus.-ian al
liances are sought after in Germany, and the
consequent influence they exercise.
Leaving aside the wealth of the Imperial
house of Holstein-Gottorp, which can scarcely
be called private property, the richest sove
reign family in Europe is commonly believed
to be that of Austria, and next to it the house
of Nassau-Orange, ruling the Netherlands.
The riches of the latter family have-been ac
quired almost entirely within the last few gene
rations. When William VI. of Nassau-
Orange, was called, in 1815, to the throne of
the Netherlands, which he afterwards filled as
William I. he was possessed of but a modest
private fortune, which he increased enormously
by investing it in commercial undertakings pa
tronised by the Government. As leading part :
ner in the colonial “Maatschappy,” a sort of
Dutch East India Company, he was able
to employ most profitably both his cash
and his royal prerogative, -with the net se
■ suit of leaving to his heirs a private
fortune of 150 millions of florins, or twelve and
a half millions sterling. The successors of
King William I. continued his trading specula
tions, though not t 6 the same extent, and are
still considered leading personages on the
Amsterdam Exchange. It is very probable
that this commercially-acquired wealth has
greatly contributed to fortify the . Nassau-
Orange dynasty, in a country where riches are
worshiped to this day more than in any other
part of Europe. Many German sovereigns
have traded lor the last half-century in exactly
he same manner as the first King of the Nether
ands, with results equally fortunate in com
parison. Some rei gffing princes to this: day are
stock-jobbers, some cattle-dealers,: some
armers, and some | mining adventurers. The
shrewdest of them all, the late autocrat of the
principality of Schwarzburg-jSondershausen,
hit upon quite an original idea for making
money. He set up a large
brewery and distillery, and forbade
his' subjects, under .heavy penalties;; to
consume any other ale or spirits than those
issued from the princely establishment. |Of
course, he drove a “roaring trade,” notwith
standing the fact that liis beer and “brijan
wein,” were much dearer and much worse
than like articles furnished by plebeian brewers
and distillers to the subjects of neighboring
Prince Gunther of Schwarzburg;
Sondershausen in this manner earned some
20,000,000 thalers, which, he invested in the
purchase of large estates in Bohemia and the
Grand Duchies of Mecklenburg. But the more
money he made the more greedy he got, and at
last his beer and gin became so dear and so
bad that his faithful. subjects could not
stand it any longer. Consequently on
one fine mornisg in August, N 1835,
one-half of the sixty thousand inhabitants of
the principality assembled in front of the
Schloss of their master, and burst out shouting
for ale and liberty.' The poor Prince misun
derstood their cries, and, feeling the remorse
of actions not spirit-proof, he fled in great haste,
leaving behind his deed of abdication. His
son and successor did not think it safe to con
tinue the brewing and distilling business, and
he set up therefore, as paper-maker and whole
sale dealer in chiffrons, making it penal to buy
and sell rags elsewhere than at the princely
factory. Many a fortune has been made in this
way, in modern times in the fatherland of
princes. This movement which thus
changes poor sovereigns into active
traders and adventurers, to convert them
finally into wealthy capitalists, is not
without its political importance. The great
royal family of Europe, taken as a class, might
perhaps, be in danger of losing part of its pres
. tige, at the side of a rising and all-powerful
money aristocracy, were it not carried forward
by the same tide of success. It is. evidently a
wide-spread feeling of modem royalty that in
our days it will not do even for kings to be poor.
A Characteristic little anecdote, showing the
views on this subject entertained by modern
princes, is told of the present Emperor of Aus
tria. Soon after his marriage, Francis Joseph
was pressed by his consort to allow himself to
be solemnly proclaimed King of Lombardy, by
placing the irdn crown of Charlemagne on his
head. Whereupon the young Kaiser replied,
smiling, “Don crowns are no good now a days;
none but golden crowns will do, my dear.”.
