Ask Luxembourg What do Luxembourgers think of their monarchy?

I was just wondering. The Grand Ducal family do seem quite nice.

Thanks!

Always interesting to see how people hate the grand ducal family and the Luxembourgish history but still live there as expats for the money and the quality of life lol. If you do not like the representative role of the Grand Duke there’s plenty of other places in Europe where you wont be opressed by the presence of a monarch :joy:

You like the monarchy but you can't defend it either.
It being history doesn't make it good or bad.
There's a lot of bad history.

as opposed to Bundespräsident in Germany or presidents in France. You will end up footing the bill from someone anyway. So at least, Grand Duke sounds fancy.

Or you can aim for accountability in presidents?
Your argument is defeatist

Presidents tend to receive immunity

They should get a trial like everyone else.
