  1. Basically, you are an "illegitimate" offspring of your father. Illegitimate children are not recognized in any European royal houses, so they will not receive any titles or styles. Since your father's title was only a courtesy title, it may go to his eldest born son and cannot be inherited by his illegitimate children. In most European countries, titles are only carried by the male-line of a monarch, so even if your stepmother is a royal princess, her children will not carry any styles like "HRH Prince or Princess", but they will be in the line of succession accordingly. However, since you are not a royal member, you will not be in the line of succession nor will you receive any titles and styles.


  2. your bro and sis are princes and princesse

    you nothing sorry

    you step mother is also a princess

  3. While a child born out-of-wedlock has a right to inherit from his or her mother, the same child does not have a similar right to inherit from his or her father, thus applying the principle "Mater semper certa est" (translated as "The mother is always certain").  The same common law applies to all such children whatever their parents' position.  

    In other words, such a child has no legal standing with his or her father's wife, although the father may acknowledge the child as his and pay for child support.  In the United Kingdom, The Children Act of 1985 introduced the concept of parental responsibility, ensuring that each child has a legal father.  The Adoption and Child Act of 2003 automatically grants parental responsibility to dads of out-of-wedlock children.   Alas, this responsibility doesn't extend to inheritance, although the father could presumably make a special provision for the out-of-wedlock son or daughter in his will.

    Make a note to yourself:  Send dear ol' dad an especially nice card each Father's Day!

  4. Since you are not in DIRECT line,meaning a birth to a married couple,you would be an ordinary citizen unless your mother was able to get you a title,by asking the Duke. That is of course,unless your mother's husband,who would assume parental rights has a title.Then you'd might be a lord or lady.

  5. Your question is a bit oddly phrased, but as I read it you're saying that your parents weren't married.  If not, then your birth was illegitimate and you cannot inherit any titles from your father.

    As to your half-siblings, it depends on the country.  If it's Britain and your step-mother is not heir-apparent to the throne, then your siblings would not have royal titles as only the children of male-line royalty (i.e., princes and kings) are automatically princes and princesses themselves.  The oldest legitimate brother from that marriage would be eligible to inherit your father's dukedom on  his death.

  6. A would be if you could be.

  7. "a b*****d"

  8. just plain old Mr john doe

  9. Sorry to say when it comes to being a royal you are SOL.

    best of luck to you!
