Answer 1

I am sure that there are still some Jacobite supporters out there who want to support the return of the Stuart line of British royalty. The movement went into decline after 1744.

In the late nineteenth century, there was a brief revival of political Jacobitism, the English Legitimists, with the creation of a number of Jacobite clubs and societies. These came to an end with the first World War. They are now represented by the Royal Stuart Society.

Founded in 1926, the Royal Stuart Society is the senior monarchist organisation, and the foremost Jacobite and Legitimist body, in Great Britain. It acknowledges Franz, Duke of Bavaria as head of the Royal House, whilst refraining from making any claim on his behalf that he does not make himself.

The current objectives of the Royal Stuart Society are: (1) to be open to all who have an interest in the members of the Royal House of Stuart, their descendents and supporters; (2) to promote research in and further knowledge of Stuart history; (3) to uphold rightful Monarchy and oppose republicanism; and (4) to arrange such commemorations, lectures and other activities as shall advance these objects. It describes itself on its website as being “monarchist and traditionalist”.

The current Governor-General is His Grace the Duke of St Albans. The Chairman is Lord Aylmer. The Society organises commemorations in Whitehall, Windsor and Westminster Abbey. Its lectures usually take place at the parish hall of the Jesuit church at Farm Street in London’s Mayfair. It issues popular and scholarly publications, edited by the distinguished historian Dr Eveline Cruickshanks, a former Fellow of the University of London Institute of Historical Research. Its Royal Stuart Papers series numbers over 60 publications, and has included papers by a number of distinguished academics such as Prof Roy Porter, Richard Sharp, Prof Murray Pittock, Lady Antonia Fraser and Prof Ronald Hutton.
