chris N · Apr 18, 2022

I would have thought that the matter had been settled Ruprecht is the Kaiser now. Kaiser Wilhelm II is unacceptable as a result of World War I and his oldest son is tainted by his dealing with the Nazis. That would leave the Grandchildren two of which are excluded due to their marrying commoners. That would leave Louis who is totally an unknown to the public in Contrast Ruprecht is an accomplished Soldier and a hero of the war. He is well liked by the soldiers and the people of Bavaria.
I have had Austria move to become a Kingdom headed by Otto Hapsburg and his brother becoming King of Hungary.
