Dr. Wilson, Jacobite sympathizer?

The One Over the Water:
Yet a real monarchist must admit that the British executed and exiled their legitimate kings. The Stuarts had defects enough, Heaven knows, but they were royal defects. They had the best of British qualities—courage and intelligence such as nearly conquered the world. Something went badly wrong when the present line of petty German princelings was imported. The German princes were among the stupidest and most repulsive of all the European royals and unfitted to be symbols of a great Empire.
