What happens if you find out you are related to royalty?

Question

for example if i found out i was realated to the prince of monaco then what would i do

Answer 1

ARE YOU?

Answer 2

Well, a lot of people are related to royalty and nothing happens.You just are related to them.

Distant relatives who are not in the direct line of succession are just distant relatives.And the only way to know for sure that you really are related is through a Genealogical service,such as Debrett's who specialize in aristocratic lineage searches.Perhaps they  could help someone related to royalty find out how and IF they can contact royal relatives.

Answer 3

Didly squat I'm afraid m'lord.

Answer 4

My mother traced our family tree way back to find that we are related to Spanish royalty. We are actually Spanish but had no idea about the royalty part. In answer to your question...what CAN we do about it?

Answer 5

depends how you are related...long lost brother he would prob take time out for you....long lost cousin 30 times removed i doubt anything will happen

Answer 6

your intelligence reduces overnight which is compensated by the increase in your bank account, paid for by the tax-payer

Answer 7

You're probably not. Royal families do not just lose members. If you do happen to be related then this means almost nothing because there will be no titles involved. There are more interesting things about you than tedious links to a monarchy you have nothing to do with.

Answer 8

I doubt if you would suddenly become rich, if that's what you mean.

Answer 9

I Am!

I have my genealogy finished goes back to 600 AD

Answer 10

Would only have meaning if you at least on the level of first cousins otherwise it has no meaning. I am 10th cousin to Prince Charles which means we have one ancestor in common out of 1054 people.

Answer 11

give up work

Answer 12

Celebrate

Answer 13

Not one blessed thing.  It's not as if they are going to start inviting you to family dinners!

Answer 14

Call Sir Rory Emerald immediately.

Answer 15

um nothing......

Answer 16

Are you?!!

Answer 17

In my case...I went into hospital for an ear reduction, bought a personality on line and moved to Reading.

Answer 18

I'm not sure why you would do anything other than enjoy your new found knowledge.  Many people are related to royalty in one way or another but that doesn't mean that they'll suddenly become wealthy, famous or friends of the royal family.  Be proud of your relationship.
