: The time-honoured old recipe once again...
:
: 1. My father and my brother were kings in my
: native country. I was also a king very
: briefly, but in a different country. Lately,
: my great-grandson has been challenging the
: position of my brother’s descendant as head
: of our house.
:
: 2. I am the head of a royal house that lost
: its throne a long time ago. My brothers have
: remained bachelors, but I have married and
: produced heirs – although I was almost 50
: when it finally happened...
:
: 3. I was an Empress, but my husband lost his
: throne, and then his life, far too early. I,
: on the other hand, had a very long life.
:
: 4. I was the longest-reigning monarch in the
: history of my country, and I gave my name to
: a whole era.
:
: 5. I am an heir who is about to have a big
: celebration.
:
: 6. I was the head of a no longer reigning
: house, though my claim was disputed by
: another branch of the family. I passed away
: recently.
:
: 7. By the time I became a king, I had
: already reigned for half a century under a
: different title. I was forced into exile
: when my country was annexed to a
: neighbouring country, but now it is
: independent again.
:
: 8. I was the last monarch of my country. My
: whole family and I met with a tragic death.
:
: 9. At the time of my accession, I was
: without doubt the youngest monarch in the
: world – in fact, I couldn’t have been any
: younger. I later lost my throne and died in
: exile.
:
: 10. I was the heir apparent, but before I
: could succeed, my family lost its throne.
: However, some people also count me among the
: legitimate kings of a different country.
:
:
: So, who are we, and what do we all have in
: common?
