If Henry VII is my Great-great-great-great and maybe some more greats grandfather, does it make me royalty?

I have other relations to royalty. My great great great uncle was Napoleon, and I am also related to two of his wives, Cathrine Howard and Anne Boleyn.

  1. If you have to ask, then you are not royalty.

    Also, you wrote Henry VII (7th) and listed two wives of Henry VIII (8th, his son).  

    Many Britons of noble families were related to eachother.  As it was, Anne and Catherine were cousins.


  2. Huh?mmm,,, How exactly are are you related  to Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn?  Catherine did not had kids and Anne Boleyn's famous daughter ( Elizabeth) Did not have any kids either.  But they were plenty of Howards, so I could believe that you could be related to them.  But Henry VII? The Tudors weren't exactly a prolific race, sorry I would second check that

  3. The ogre of Corsica was not Royalty.

    Anne Boleyn had only one daughter:Elizabeth

  4. only descendants of the male heir end up being royality which means that although you might be related to them, you are not royality. unless of course the whole family dies and you remain the last child

  5. Royalty titles are only carried through the male-line of a monarch. If you are related to any English or French royal house from your mother's side, then you will not receive any titles and styles. If you are an illegitimate descendant of Henry VII, this will even remove you further away from receiving any titles, since illegitimate offspring are not recognized in the Church of England.

    Many people can trace their family lineage back to one or more of the early English monarchs, Charles II of England was known to father many illegitimate children. Both the late Diana, Princess of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall were also illegitimate descendants of Charles II through an illegitimate son, however, either of them have any claims to any titles or the British crown.

    In addition, many people including the British royals could also trace their family lineage back to the famous Howard family to which both Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard belonged. The late Diana, Princess of Wales and Queen Elizabeth II's mother were also a descendant of the Howard family through Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleny's sister, who had over 10 children, and many of them married and had their own children. However, both Diana and the Queen’s mother were only born into a nobility family with no royal titles, and both were legally “commoners” though the daughters of a peer, when they married into the British royal family.

  6. not really unless u live in a palace (just joking).

  7. Ah, so you are the missing Queen of England and Empress of France.

  8. As far as nobility is involved. it is only transferred through the male line. So if the fatehr is a king his sons and daughters will be princess and princesses. His oldest son will be the next king. The children of the princesses will be nothing unless their fathers are of the nobility. Also being an illegitamit child means you do not inherit any title.

    There are a lot of people who are descended from nobilty, but only a few have inherited a title.

  9. i'm jealous!

  10. Congratulations, you have a really fascinating family history!And, how interesting that you are related to Henry VII and Napoleon.

    You might try the genealogy section too.  I'm sure there are lots of people there who would be interested.

    best of luck to you!
