His Majesties hobbies are wide ranging, from collecting model soldiers, of which he has a very large collection, to writing. He has a fine collection of Japanese art and is an avid musicologist who can also dance the mambo. He has even written an unpublished 1500-page historical novel set in Czarist Russia.
