Bingo. This is one of my pet peeves. This gent is no more a prince (of anything) than I am.

No, by lineage he is a Prince, you are not. There are still a lot of monarchies in this world, most, like in England and France have little to no power any more, yet their blood lines don’t go away, whether they would want them to or not. So most maintain the titles, but that is all they are, titles. You may not like it, but that’s the way it is.
From a traditionalist’s point of view (I consider myself a traditionalist and a follower of history that I love) I like to follow what the various royals are up to, and frankly, anyone of our version of royalty here intrigues me also. An example, Barbara Bush is a descendant of our 14th President, Franklin Pierce. I eat this history stuff up like candy.
I wouldn’t worry about many Americans being royalists to the detriment of our country. We already won our revolution, lol, and I don’t see anyone rushing around trying to bring back a monarchy. I’d worry much more about a dictatorship that can be instituted by anyone in power, such as our current President Barak Hussein Obama, our very own Manchurian candidate who came out of nowhere to jeopardize our traditions and way of life. That’s what should be worried about.
I don't know anything about you, but royal titles cannot be removed from anyone.
