Royal family

Redirected from Royalty

A Royal Family is the extended family of a monarch. It usually includes princes, princesses, dukes, earls, and a variety of other hereditary title-holders.

When the monarch dies, there is always a very specific order of succession[?] that indicates the exact order of family members in line to the throne.

In recent years, many royal families have become increasingly hounded by the media, especially tabloid newspapers.
