This cluster represents a new feature for the Royal Studies Journal, and an editorial attempt to place the life of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021) within various historical, thematic, and scholarly contexts current in royal studies. It showcases some recent and ongoing work in the field as well as suggesting new lines of research and will hopefully prove a valuable starting point for students and new scholarship on traditional royal studies themes, such as consorts or dynasties and more specifically modern and contemporary monarchy. As well as a brief editorial introduction, six mini essays are presented within this piece considering Philip’s life as topic of study within the following contexts: Valerie Schutte, “Driving the Monarchy: Prince Philip and Land Rover;” Brandy Jolliff Scott, “Prince Philip’s Legacy and Foreign Policy: Analyzing the Role of Constitutional Monarchy in World Politics;” Jessica Storoschuk, “‘We Don’t Come to Canada For Our Health:’” A Surprisingly Strong Relationship Between Prince Philip and Canada;” Aidan Jones, “Greece, The British Navy and an Earlier Duke of Edinburgh;” Carolyn Harris, “Prince Philip and the Last Imperial Family of Russia,” and Sarah Betts, “Prince Philip On Screen.” ERRATA: Please note the following correction to Harris' contribution--Prince Philip's birthday should be 10 June 1921, not 10 April.
该集群代表了《皇家研究杂志》的一个新特点,也是将爱丁堡公爵菲利普亲王(1921-2021)的一生置于当前皇家研究的各种历史、主题和学术背景下的编辑尝试。它展示了该领域最近和正在进行的一些工作,并提出了新的研究方向,有望为学生和传统王室研究主题的新学术提供一个宝贵的起点,如配偶或王朝,更具体地说,是现代和当代君主制。除了一篇简短的社论介绍外,这篇文章还介绍了六篇小文章,将菲利普的一生作为研究主题,具体内容如下:瓦莱丽·舒特(Valerie Schutte),《推动君主政体:菲利普亲王和路虎》(Driving the Monarchy:Prince Philip and Land Rover);布兰迪·乔利夫·斯科特(Brandy Jolliff Scott),《菲利普亲王的遗产和外交政策:分析立宪君主政体在世界政治中的作用》,“‘我们来加拿大不是为了我们的健康:’”菲利普亲王和加拿大之间令人惊讶的牢固关系艾丹·琼斯(Aidan Jones),《希腊、英国海军和早期的爱丁堡公爵》(Greece,The British Navy and an Early Duke of Edinburgh);卡罗琳·哈里斯(Carolyn Harris),《菲利普亲王和俄罗斯最后的帝国》(Prince Philip and The Last Imperial Family of Russia);莎拉·贝茨(Sarah Betts),《屏幕上的菲利普亲王》。

This article examines the visual strategies employed in the early modern period by a dynasty ruling a smaller state, the Duchy of Lorraine, to survive in the face of expansion by larger neighbours (notably France). The central argument posits that in order to be treated as fully royal (and therefore with inherent rights to exist independently, as full members of the society of princes), princes like the dukes of Lorraine had to appear as royal in their visual representation. The article therefore looks at different examples of selfrepresentation produced by the dynasty over time, including genealogical treatises, coins, portraits, and printed material, in order to see how this was achieved and what symbols were used. What emerges is a sense that this strategy was more closely tied to dynasticism, not necessarily state-building, and while it can be said to have failed for the Duchy of Lorraine as a state, it proved successful, even beyond what had been imagined, for the dynasty itself. This idea repositions our conceptions of “sovereignty” in this period, to see it, at least in some cases, as a quality pertaining to dynasties rather than more rigidly to the states they governed. Their hereditary estates in Lorraine were lost in 1737 but the dynasty survived, as grand dukes of Tuscany, and was deemed worthy of transformation into a fully royal—even imperial—dynasty through marriage to the Habsburg heiress Maria Theresa and the election of Francis Stephen of Lorraine as Holy Roman Emperor in 1745.

After the resignation of Charles IV, a particular public law situation, the so-called “kingdom without a king,” came about in interwar Hungary, which persisted through the whole period. The “king question” that developed around taking the vacant throne aroused a keen interest not only in internal politics, but also abroad. The study gives a short account about who could emerge as a possible Hungarian king and why they could do so, and how the issue was presented to the international public. The author analyses the rumours, both in the press and in diplomatic documents, which are rather under-exploited as sources in historical research. The article first outlines the general socio-political situation in post-Great War Hungary and then shows how the problem of the “king question” divided Hungarian public life into several camps. It then, without claiming completeness, examines the motivations and realities of combinations for some of the individuals who most frequently appeared as candidates for king in the various rumours. In terms of the timing of the rumours, the study highlights the domestic and international events and circumstances in which interest in the issue of Hungary’s “kingless kingdom” was heightened in public discourse, and how such combinations influenced the image of contemporary Hungary. It also sheds light on the reasons that have prevented the kingdom issue from being settled. Finally, the author attempts to outline what the “ideal” new Hungarian king, acceptable both abroad and at home, should have been like under the given circumstances.

As early as 1795, immediately after the death of the young Louis XVII in his Parisian prison, the comte de Provence, brother of the late Louis XVI who had been executed in 1793, was hoping the course of history would prove him right. He opted to call himself Louis XVIII, a title which was made official nineteen years later when he became king. Proclaimed in the Déclaration de Vérone on 8 June 1795, in the midst of the Revolution, such an act implied that the Revolution was not happening, had never happened, and would never happen again. Our paper explores this new and ambivalent kind of resilience by examining three decisive moments during the reigns of Louis XVI’s two brothers, Louis XVIII (1814-1824) and Charles X (1824-1830): the First Restoration and the Hundred Days, with their curious institutional novelties and changes of hands; the early Second Restoration, when the game between the old and the new world seemed on and then over; and the first years of Charles X’s reign, when the tensions returned with a vengeance, probably climaxing in 1825 with the Compensation Act, known as “le milliard des émigrés.”
早在1795年,年轻的路易十七在他的巴黎监狱里死后不久,普罗旺斯伯爵,已故的路易十六的兄弟,于1793年被处决,就希望历史的进程能证明他是正确的。他选择称自己为路易十八,这个头衔在19年后他成为国王时正式生效。1795年6月8日,在大革命的中期,在《dsamclaration de vsamrone》中宣布,这样的行为意味着革命没有发生,从来没有发生过,也永远不会再发生。我们的论文通过考察路易十六的两个兄弟——路易十八(1814-1824)和查理十世(1824-1830)统治期间的三个决定性时刻,探讨了这种新的矛盾的恢复力:第一次复辟和百日王朝,以及它们奇怪的制度新奇和易手;第二次复辟早期,新旧世界之间的博弈似乎开始了又结束了;查理十世统治的最初几年,紧张局势卷土重来,可能在1825年的《补偿法案》(le milliard des sammigracims)中达到了高潮。
