Members of the Royal Family


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Well that was back then, things have changed since and who counts as part of the BRF is very different now.
 
Ceremonial for George VI's funeral, in which many non-highness members of the British royal family, including Mary's children, are listed under "Members of the British and foreign royal families":

The fact that many non-highnesses are counted as members has not changed. The current list is:

Are you asking about Royal House or Royal family because the two are not the same.
 
I'm pretty sure the reason that Mary's children were excluded, is that unlike her brother's children, her children weren't male-line grandchildren - and at that point only the male-line grandchildren were considered part of the royal family; Mary's children weren't royals after all unlike their cousins. Her children were instead considered members of the (Earl of) Harewood/Lascelles family. I don't think it had anything to do with their personal relationship.

A lot of why Mary didn’t go to things was politics above Elizabeth to do with the exclusion of David.

The Queen got on fine with Mary and she definitely went to Balmoral. She was also close enough to her cousin who went to big family occasions while they lived. There was some issues over divorce and the like through the years though.

I'm not sure who "you" refers to, but your own post above referred to "the BRF" (British Royal Family). I haven't seen an instance of the British monarchy using the term Royal House.
