Patronage

I was thinking about how free-content-duplication is killing the entertainment industry, and I remembered how back in the day these talented content-producers usually made their living by gaining the attention of the royalty and being permanently employed for their personal service.

So I thought I’d do my part to help out, and I’ve compiled a list of reigning kings which you artsy folks can use as a reference to inform your career choices:

• King Sheikh Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah of Bahrain
• King Albert II of Belgium
• King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan
• King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia
• King Abdullah II of Jordan
• King Letsie III of Lesotho
• King Mohammed VI of Morocco
• King Harald V of Norway
• King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia
• King Juan Carlos I of Spain
• King Mswati III of Swaziland
• King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
• King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand
• King George Tupou V of Tonga

Now I’ve done my good deed for the day.
