My Mother says that Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth are very popular here in India, they are more popular in the Past Genaration

At present I think Diana would probably still be the most well-known Royal closely followed by Queen Elizabeth II, Princes Charles and other members of the British Royals.

I guess the Spanish Royal family and some Middle Eastern Royals, like King Abdullah II of Saudi Arabia would be next.

But there is no such personality now. The British royals are the ones most people are familiar with. But I doubt there is anyone who generates much interest internationally and that includes Prince William. Although that might change once there's talk of his marriage.
As for other royal families, you'd be surprised how many people out there havent heard of most of them. Even well-informed people may know about the politics of various nations around the world, but not much about their monarchs. They just dont elicit much interest. And that is understandable.

You are so correct Humera. A lot of people around the world either no longer care or do not bother with the Royal families.
I believe in another generation there will be fewer left who are interested in anything RF member do.

I thnk Diana will still be the most popular royal eventhough she's not here anymore. Here in my country when you ask someone to name a royal/prince/princess, he/she will probably say the late Pss Diana. Filipinos are not interested in royalty, most people here are interested in Hollywood stars and NBA for the guys. Only the royal watchers here like me know other royals aside from the British royal family. I think royals are famous around Europe, Letizia, GDss Maria Theresa and Maxima in Spanish speaking countries, Mary in Australia. I doubt the Countess of Frederiksborg, Alexandra being Asian is known here in the Philippines. Where I work no one knows other royal except for Pss Diana and her two sons. The only magazine that features royal watch here is OK Phils. which only gives short infos. As a matter of fact when I saw a magazine being bought by my officemate I told her that that's Pss Mary of Denmark and that's Felipe of Spain and so on...It so happen that Mary's picture was during the New Year's gala wherein she wore a red velvet gown with full regalia. She even asked me, do they actually wear that thing? meaning the tiara, sash and everything.. I laughed and said yup, that's royalty in Europe... They really don't have any idea that there are other royal houses that exist aside from BRF.

my take on our country being ignorant, clueless even, about royals is because we have been a republic for so long that the idea of being ruled by a monarch is so foreign to us. While the Philippines may have been a former Spanish colony, none of the kings and queens then came over here, so maybe it was felt they were too distant for Filipinos to ever really care about.

As for the British royals being the only known royal family here, I'm guessing it's pretty much due to the fact that the Philippine press takes its cue from the US media, which is also largely focused on the BRF.

What rubs salt on the wound is that the Philippine press, when reporting about royals (either in OK! Magazine Philippines or in the news), is that they can never get things completely right. There's always something wrong--the prince's title, the mother of the royal...heck, they even Photoshop the color of their clothes! I swear, the info I get here at TRF is more updated and accurate than what I read on the papers here.
