***... The ruling class of Europe never really gave up power ...***
Pithy little essay. Do you have a particular source to flush it out? I know, for example that the English royalty / nobility had vast land holdings from feudal times. I never really looked to see how that morphed into modern social construction.

With regard to the Windsors, no one source in particular, just individual data points that lead me to that conclusion. For one thing, any family that can commit murder, and perhaps other crimes, with impunity wields a certain amount of power, or if you prefer, influence. Their vast wealth certainly affords them the opportunity to influence world events, bribe politicians, etc. even if they no longer control government directly. Fritz Springmeier identifies them as one of the elite bloodlines of the illuminati. They have close social relationships with other illuminati families, such as the Rothschilds. How much influence they have within the illuminati, I can’t say. But they certainly have a seat at the table.

The monarchy in Great Britain saw a gradual erosion of their power over hundreds of years, originally at the hands of the other noble families (e.g. the Magna Carta), and then from the free cities of England that began to gain greater wealth and power and exert their influence through the rise of the House of Commons. King George was probably the last king to have any significant say in the day to day running of the government. At some point the English royal family accepted their change in status from rulers to figure heads, but I think it’s clear that they retained and still retain a degree of power, or influence within the illuminati.

I don’t know enough about the other European royal families to be able to comment much, but I do remember reading of how the Dutch Royals played a role in assisting the NAZI’s during WWII, even as the NAZI’s were occupying and killing their Dutch “countrymen”.

I read years ago that the (Jewish) Rothschilds financed the Nazis while they were rounding up Jews. I surmise all that gold that Hitler culled from their victims helped to pay that debt. I don't have any proof of that, however.
