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.
