Are Royals basically the rich and powerful passed from generation to generation since the beginning of time? I'm constantly wondering why exactly they're Royal. 👑 I always wonder that. Where does it start? Who decides let's be royal.

There were were lots of regions before anyone ruled over all of England meaning lots of conquest. Royalty was deemed chosen by God, so it made since that it was a birthright and that there would be familial succession. But, there was an elected king in there way back, battles/marriages changed who was in power, etc. Basically it hasn’t been the same family forever as there were takeovers, no immediate heirs, etc.

Why do they no longer have the royal family protection? What does non working royal mean? And why wouldn't Eugenia's H get a title? I am like newly fascinated with all this formal stuff. Charles took the protection away to save money. Non working royal means they don't go on official things for the queen. He won't get a title because they are too far away in the line of succession Oh literal royal protection lol. For some reason in my head I was thinking it was some mythical idealistic royal protection of the crown lol. Are there still people with titles that run big houses like downton Abby?

The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon live in Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) and Diana’s brother still resides at Althorp House.

I think it's possible that Jack will be offered an earldom. It isn't typically done, but B&E are rumored to be favorites of the Queen.

Kate was out and about today in a Sportmax Coat (repeat) and Seraphine dress. She gave a speech at the launch of “Mentally Healthy Schools.”

She looks great but I do think she has pregnancy face for her! I feel like her chin isn’t as sharp and her cheeks are fuller. But still fabulous!

She is a soft summer if you’re in to seasonal coloring for wardrobes.

Are Royals basically the rich and powerful passed from generation to generation since the beginning of time? I'm constantly wondering why exactly they're Royal. 👑 Pretty much. The British monarchy is one of the best preserved, and most notable, to this day. In school when you learned about King Henry the 8th or King and Queen so and so of England... these are their descendants. (Sort of, because murder and scandal and abdications, but it's all the same blood.) The eldest son becomes the next king, or daughter, if there aren't any sons. (Except before Kate had Prince George, Parliament decided that it's now the eldest child, no matter gender.) Queen Elizabeth the II is the longest reigning English/British monarch ever and is certainly the only Queen/King most people have known. (Someone feel free to correct me on details here. I'm just going off the top of my head.)

For the second link, they have Prince Harry listed as Henry. I was like "Who TF is Henry, son of Charles and Diana?!"
