Question

If you find out your relatd to royalty can you get anything?

Answer 1

It would be very unlikely. Mostly only people who are very closely related could get anything, and they would already know all their lives, and would probably be lords, ladies or so on.

If you just discovered it, you would be too distant related to be in line for anything.

Answer 2

if you are a distant relative, than no. if you are only like two generations away, then you might inherrit something

Answer 3

Well it depends. For one the country of origin of your royal family needs to still have a Monarchy. If not, then your title is just a fancy name to call yourself.

If it still does, you need to contact the family your related to if they are still around to get an accurate family tree. If you do, then you must find how close you are to the family.

If your not close, it really doesnt give you anything. If your close, you could get some inheritence. Possibly even a chance at a throne or high seat of the country.

However I highly doubt something that good will happen. Not many countries are Monarchies anymore, and even so they dont really uphold the whole title thing as much anymore. People won't bow to you, etc. etc. Best thing that i expect to happen, and i highly doubt it, his to inherit something of value.

Good luck.

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

Unless you're really close, probably not.

Of course, there's the fun of just knowing.  For instance, I'm descended from Edward III.  That makes Prince Charles my 22nd cousin.  ;-D  (That and $3[?] will get me a cup of coffee at Starbuck's.)

Once you find a royal ancestor, they REALLY like to know where they came from.  Also among my ancestors are Charlemagne, William the Conquerer, Tobias Mathew, the 66th? Archbishop of York, El Cid, Lady Godiva (yes, she really lived), Old King Cole (Coel, first century), Kings David and Solomon, and Noah's sons Shem AND Japheth.  A really fun one is a ggg...grandfather whose sister married the half brother of the Apostle Paul.  So I guess that makes Paul about my 57th half-uncle-in-law.  :-O

Answer 6

If you're asking a question such as this one, bragging rights is all you'll get.  Burke's Peerage already has everyone even remotely near royalty documented.  If you're asking about British Royalty, if you aren't a descendant of Sophia, the Electress of Hanover (all of whom are well documented), you're not in line for succession.  

Of course, statistically speaking, approximately 80 percent of the British population and a large percentage of Americans descend from English or Scottish kings from the Renaissance and Middle Ages, which is the reason so many United States presidents and presidential candidates can trace their family trees back to royalty.  Considering the fact that an individual's ancestors double every geneation, this really isn't  too great a feat.  Still, it's fun to discover ties to royalty.

Moi, I'm a descendant of Scotland's House of Stewart through both my paternal and maternal lines because two different younger sons of a Scottish earl immigrated to Virginia about 1690: The Earl of Crawford traces his ties back to Mary Stewart. the daughter of James II. I wonder what my parents would think if they knew they were 8th cousins?

Answer 7

Maybe, but most likely your royal kin will send you a copy of the family tree, and mark your branch for you.

Answer 8

Most likely not. Only those who are in direct line of succession can inherit anything.

And being related and being the heir are different things,as well. Only the heir inherits the titles and most of the properties that go with the title.Younger sons and daughters usually just get the title and if the parents are quite wealthy,some money,too.

Answer 9

Yes, a dozen English spelling and punctuation lessons.

Answer 10

What could possibly be worse than that? xx

Answer 11

Yes! A job!

Answer 12

Possiby, but also not sure, usually the blue blood lives in the kingdoms and palaces, not in a normal house or cottage or even villa.

Hope i helped, and may God be with you

Answer 13

Very doubtful.

Most of the western hemisphere has some blue blood.

Answer 14

Most likely no.
