The one area where monarchs are less subject to the whims of the people is the Middle East.Most of the monarchs there rule traditionally, claiming divine right and reigning with near-absolute power.The kings of Morocco and Jordan say they are part of the lineage of the prophet Mohammed. Saudi Arabia's House of Saud says it has traditionally been the guardian of the holy sites of Islam.Rami Khouri, an internationally syndicated political columnist based in Amman, Jordan, said that among the world's monarchies, these would be the most likely to next move to republicanism.The more a country is economically developed, the more money people have, the more they will want to take part in decisions that influence their fate, he said."That's what happened in Europe," he said.

"Writing to each other," said Lucy, returning the letter into her pocket, "is the only comfort we have in such long separations. Yes, I have one other comfort in his picture; but poor Edward has not even that. If he had but my picture, he says he should be easy. I gave him a lock of my hair set in a ring when he was at Longstaple last, and that was some comfort to him, he said, but not equal to a picture. Perhaps you might notice the ring when you saw him?"
