Actually, oddly enough, many of them do.  We were fortunate some years 
back to have Duke Stefan of Bellatrix and his lovely Duchess Niobe as 
our Crowns.  Oh, what a wondrous reign!!!  They brought a whole new 
atmosphere to the royalty of Atlantia, one that it has taken 3 years to 
smother.  Sad.  Wish they could all be like that!
