Talk:Royal family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Headline text
Taking issue in order:
- A Royal Family is the extended family of a monarch.
- It may or may not be extended; it may simply be his or her nuclear family, and may not include all of them!
- It usually includes princes, princesses, dukes, earls, and a variety of other hereditary title-holders.
- This seems to be true ONLY in the UK, as only the UK has all these titles. Some monarchies PROHIBIT the granting of titles of nobility. The statement that it is USUAL is certainly not true.
- 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.
- Not all monarchies have such an order of succession.
In short this sounds as though it were written without much regard to royal families other than that of the UK&NI. It could be improved by including other monarchies. -- Someone else 05:16 Apr 17, 2003 () TIVERAM INUMEROS SUCESSOS ENTRE OS QUAIS "CC O DOMADOR D COBRAS HUMANAS"
- So feel free to add what's missing. That's kinda the whole point of this thing. There was no page on royal families, so I made a simple one. user:J.J.
A royal family is not a TERM. A dog is not a TERM for an animal; a dog is an animal. That is why I edited this as I did. Michael Hardy 00:43 21 Jul 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Order of Names
Is there any rhyme or reason for a non-alpha order list ??vcxlor 08:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
