There *are* such people, you know.  CNN had a recent report
about monarchists and monachs in Europe today,

<http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/century/episodes/02/currents/>.

Apparently, there's one guy, Henri d'Orleans, who's the current
claimant to the French throne.  There's also an organization I read
about that's trying to reestablish monarchies descendent from Charlemagne
in all the major countries of Europe (*real* Merovingian restorationists).
