The World is a fine Place and worth fighting for, I believe in the latter part. - Ernest Hemmingway, Andrew Kevin Walker

Another charmer invited to the Royal Wedding.

Al Jazeera offers a profile of King Mswati III the last absolutist monarch in Africa. Although to be fair to him he disputes this claim because he technically shares power with his mother. (This is, surprisingly, not an unheard of claim from absolutist monarchs. Empress Maria Theresa and her son of the Austro-Hungarian Empire bitterly feuded over power for much of his adult life). However while the Bahraini Crown Prince was disuaded from attending it would seem the mistreating blacks, who are after all considerably darker skinned than Arabs, is a-ok with Britain's government.
