Quote

I embody the renewed monarchy for a new time.

I've been in revolt for years against ignominy, against injustice, against inequality, against immorality, against the exploitation of human beings.

It's vital that the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It's what I try and do.

I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death; a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.

Our aim is not to die. It is to carry out the revolution, to make a reality of our ideas. We must live, to get them accepted by the people.
