But he kept his soul

One of Europe's lesser known constitutional monarchs- Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg- has lost his perogative of veto over acts of Parliament by vetoing a bill legalizing euthanasia.

Parliament amended Luxembourg's constitution to deprive him of that right when he chose to use it to stand for elementary human decency in the face of the tidal wave of post-modern utilitarianism that threatens the very humanity of those of us who live in the Western world.

As the article to which this posts links observes, however, Grand Duke Henri has, by the very act which cost him his veto, retained his soul.
