The “Unthroneable” Prince; Perhaps, a Dethroned Serf Prince
Even God could not make him king. He is so disliked that the mere idea of him called for change in the rule of engagement for his pre-dethronement. He is loved and called by his creator but cursed by his people. His fathers disavowed his prince-hood even before his birth.
Yes, his crime preceded his birth. His crime, he will be shady and his people unmistakably fore knew his shadiness. The congenital nature of his shadiness is not enough to tamper or soften his peoples’ ill feelings toward him.
His arrival is a reproach and an enigma to his kinfolks. His presence becomes a test for the religious and social views of his people. For his shadiness, his people are unperturbed by his exposure of their xenophobia, social and religious hypocrisy. They are willing to accept any criticism, bear any burden, and defile former beliefs in their rejection of a strange congenitally shady Prince.
At least by assumption, the reign of a prince that is foreign and different to his subjects will be strange, and hence intolerable. But assumption is no reality and experience is needed to separate these two. The people of Monako have assumptions based on fear as against facts substantiated by experience. The Prince of Monako did not choose to be different yet he is condemned, disavowed and dethroned for crime of shadiness that he could not have willfully committed. He was without form, speechless, knew no language and speaks no language yet he was convicted. In him they could not prove foul character, for character good or bad did not exist in him. The Prince became guilty of shadiness the moment he became an idea or thought. The Prince’s crime is very obvious because it covers his very being; his crime is in his blood, his very nature is his crime. Simply put, the Prince himself is the crime and the only victim of himself.
In a society with morals, the Prince’s wretched nature would call for empathy, but not crucifixion. The Prince is guilty of no known legal code but yet was convicted by a jury pool of time travelers on over 700 year-old feelings and mind set. Surely, the people of Monako are time travelers. In convicting their Prince the jury employed the subjectively old law written only in the hearts of bias men. The unwritten law the Prince transgressed is the purity code that forbids diversity, uniqueness, and superficial difference. This law is akin to Nazi’s race purity code.
In the old the race purity code was unwritten and subjectively applied across Caucasian lands. In 2002, in Monako the unwritten nature of this law was frantically changed. The policy makers of Monako hypocritically reasoned to pen the law before the arrival of the shady Prince. As newly construed and constructed in 2002 this law aberrantly makes marriage contract superior to the contract and bond between a father and his child. Even at that, if he wants the Crowned Prince can make his son whole and legitimize him by entering into marriage contract with Nicole even for a brief period of time. Common sense shows that unlike the contract or bond between a father and a son, marriage contract arguably is only an official expression of feelings between two people and evidently very annullable at any given time. The superiority of a father-son relationship to husband-wife relationship is not only self-evident, but divine and universal. As evidence God is a bachelor and could not have possibly sent a wife to save the world, but he did send His son. But of course, history has shown that human laws are corrupt, bias, and conceived to fit and serve some narrow interests and purposes.
Even the Crowned Prince Albi, regardless of his silliness, knows that marriage contracts are made by/among men and men by God for special purposes. Permitted therefore, one can advise Prince Alex not be troubled or dismayed by the hypocrisy of his kinfolks. For God put him forth for many purposes among which is to expose the Unquantifiable arrogance, hypocrisy, and perhaps the ignorance of the Grimads and the people that inhabit the tiny municipality of Monako. Regardless of any law that the people of Monako may pass to deny Alex this tiniest of a crown, he should take comfort in the story and life of Christ that the Grimads profess to follow. Christ was and is God; at least the Grimads and Monaks believe in Christ’s Godly essence. Before his Jewish brethren, Christ was shady. He was called a thief, not the king he was and will ever be. He was disavowed, spate upon, mocked with a crown of thorns and killed by his kinfolks. Christ too was convicted on subjective law written only in the heart of a bias Jury. In truth, Christ was a reproach to the Sadducees and pharoses who He labeled hypocrisies, brood of vipers and white sepulchers. Christ was hated because he represented the true mirror through which the Jewish religious hypocrites could measure their true selves. Yes, through Alex the Mirror, the People of Monako and the Grimads can see their true selves.
Alex's fate is very precarious for even this excerpt to expose the hypocrisy of his fathers, his family and the hypocrisy of municipality of Monako may jeopardize Alex's very existence. Alex's mother perhaps had to choose between being silent and speaking out, and risk exposing her son to danger. She wisely chose the former. And you too Alex may also face the choice of life of silence or proclamation of your heir-ship to the throne of Monako, and risk your own crucifixion. I do not envy your situation; the choice is yours. Regardless of what you choose, the world knows that as the first son of the Crowned Prince, you are rightfully the Prince of Monako and heir to this tinest of a crown. Christ remained the King of Jews irrespective of what Jewish King makers thought of him. People in good heart and conscience, but not perverted understand your innocence. They know that you did not call yourself to be prince, but for the weakness of your father, God called you to be. You are an enigma that brings to light the bigotry and hypocrisy of your people. Alex, you remind people of Solomon please forgive me any time I miscall you Solomon.
Today, only in Monako can a father proudly and innocuously tell the world that a son of his will not have the full right of a son of royalty because he did not sign a marriage contract with the son’s mother; Laughable, strange and medieval it sounds, this is happening today. What does one’s right to be a full son of his father has to do with a contract that one’s father refuses to enter with his mistress who is the son’s mother? If a biological son in Monako can not receive full birthright one wonders what rights if any are accorded adopted sons. With 2002 law, persons adopted into the Grimad’s family will undoubtedly enjoy more family right than biological children whose mothers did not receive marriage contract after all the biological parents of the adopted receive some sort of contracts. Here, reason and common sense succumbs to the politics of the day. It is understandable that errant beings can fault and punish others for self mistake but only a nut or twisted mind from the past would punish his or her child for self shortcomings. Even at that should not the father forgive the son if he asks for forgiveness? The king does no wrong, perhaps Alex should ask his father, the Crowned Prince Albi to forgive him because he Alex did not have Albi’s permission before he Alex started formulating inside Nicole. What an injustice to require this kind of indulgence. Albi told the world that he will fully take care of his children by his mistresses. But this promise is not only uncalled for but is an aberration, absurdity, empty and fallacious because it is impossible to fully care for what one does not fully accept.
Albi, you are the king of Monako, the king is the law, so would you change the law to make Alex a full son or would you keep the 2002 racist law you father enacted when he anticipated the possibility of Alex? It was not by accident that the 2002 racist law was enacted months before Alex arrived. If any one did offend the Crown, is not Alex. Alex only represents the longevity of the Crown.
As per the recent engagement to Charlene may the Good Lord bless and fulfill the Crowned Prince’s good intended heart desires. But had I been fortunate to counsel the Prince I would have recommended at least a very brief marriage to Nicole. A brief marriage to Nicole would not only legitimize Alex which is the right to do, it would prove the Crowned Prince’s fatherly love to Alex, silence cynics and gossipers but above all it would confirm the racist that the Crowned Prince isn’t. For argument sake let us for a moment think that the Prince Albi is a racist and this is a possibility since racism could be interpretational and cultural, yet no one with clear mind would suggest that a father would exhibit racial bigotry towards his son just because the son’s mother is of different race. No one would even speculate that Prince Albi is a racist yet no one could summarily dismiss the racism of his family and or of his subjects. And the question then is, how the racist elements and laws in Monako influence the Crowned Prince’s behavior and decision toward his son, Alex. This is the challenge or question the Crowned Prince faces and will forever face until he fully accept Alex as his son. The Crowned Prince must respond to the innuendoes that his marriage to Charlene Wittstock a South African white woman could generate. Precisely, would the Crowned Prince’s marriage to Ms Wittstock reflect his liberal social views or the Crowned Prince’s endorsement of the apartheid system that a white South African wife may suggest? No matter what anyone thinks are Albi’s racial views what matters most is what the Crowned Prince believe of himself which must measure against his behavior towards Alex. In certain unique circumstances there are those questions that always beg to be asked. Here, such questions are; what does the Crowned Prince ALbi truly think of Alex? Does the Crowned Prince feel superior over his son? Heaven forbids; does the Crowned Prince think like the slave masters who sexually loved and raped their slaves only to disown and discard the children born of their sexual assault? But this kind of dictatorial sexual relationship was then but the Crowned Prince is today. Under Ordinarily circumstance, marriage between any two people does not necessary suggest anything extraordinary but the marriage of a Crowned white Prince with an ‘illegitimate black son’ to a white South Africa woman is not an ordinary occasion. Only the gods can imagine the nature of interaction or relationship among these three.
I speak neither for Alex nor for his mother Nicole for they know me not. But I speak because I believe that the altruistic promise the Crowned Prince made publicly that he is financially responsible for his children born out of wedlock is not just insulting but represents arrogance and ignorance. Never in the history of man have a father punished or disavowed a son and reward self for the sin he the father committed. Irony it seems but this is what this altruism is about. The publicly pronounced altruistic promise begs for the old proverbial but controversial question on who benefits most from altruistic act, the receiver or the giver. The Prince’s altruistic promise though not dubiously intended clearly and arrogantly arrogates his superiority over his son. Father is never superior to his son. If Ms. Coste is not colored the 2002 law would have been unthinkable and unnecessary. Had the 2002 law pre-dated an Alex with a White mother the reverse of the 2002 law would have been the case; this is a stinking naked truth. In 2002 the policy makers in Monako woke up to fear and old mind set forgetting that this is millennium two thousand; “behold {Monako} the old things are past and everything is made new.”
The Crowned Prince is an honorable man and when the time comes will abdicate the throne as protest to the injustice the 2002 law does against his son. I am confident that Crowned Prince Albi will change the 2002 law that is in my opinion racist if he too in his heart believes that the law was enacted to deny his son the privilege and rights he himself enjoys even when he the Crowned Prince was the problem. Regardless of the reasons for the 2002 law and its victims the crowned Prince is the sovereign and hence has the power to change the law. The question then becomes whether he would do it and if not, why not?
