European monarchs as European citizens?

[Lars Næsbye Christensen]

As far as I understand, the Danish royal family, including the Queen, are citizens and have citizens’ rights. And then some immunities and privileges.

Acceding to the Federation would however require a clarification of whether or not they could be prosecuted for federal crimes.

[Mauro Casarotto]

Good point Jakub. I think that in a constitutional monarchy the monarch is consider a citizen of his/her country. But European history is so complex that may be there are different laws or customs in different countries. Can a member of the convention take it upon themselves to research the topic so that we are all properly informed on this matter? It would be greatly appreciated.
