Wouldn't Autumn Phillips be considered a member of the RF?

 

[RoyalProtocol]

Wouldn't Autumn Phillips be considered a member of the RF?

Of course completly forgot about Mrs. Peter Phillips

Thanks!

 

[Roslyn]

So your definition of "Royal Family" is the descendants of George V and Queen Mary?

 

[susan alicia]

These surely are unofficial members of the royal family

 

[muriel]

I wonder at what stage of "closeness" do members of the family get the vote?

 

[susan alicia]

what vote?

 

[Lumutqueen]

These surely are unofficial members of the royal family

What do you mean unofficial members of the royal family?
I think this is a wonderful idea.

 

[susan alicia]

well I was not meaning to spoil anyone's fun

 

[Warren]

If we call this list 'Members of the Extended Royal Family' then there'll be no arguments and members can appreciate the work done by RoyalProtocol in compiling it for us.

 

[free2rhyme]

I didn't see Sarah chatto on the list, or maybe I just didn't see it.

 

[Iluvbertie]

I didn't see Sarah chatto on the list, or maybe I just didn't see it.

I too couldn't find Sarah Chatto and her children listed.

They should be after Lord Linley and his children.

To me the list is really the descendents of George V - so the Queen's family including the descendents of her first cousins.

 

[QueenElizabeth]

I couldn't find Paola, Lady Downpatrick either.

 

[Ella Kay]

Do you mean Lady Nicholas Windsor? She was born Paola Doimi di Delupis. I don't think Lord Downpatrick is married yet -- he's only 20.

 

[Lumutqueen]

You are quite right. Lord Downpatrick is at present studying at Oxford.
Sarah Chatto isn't on the list. She has 2 sons Samuel and Arthur.

 

[muriel]

I wonder at what stage of "closeness" do members of the family get the vote?

Members of the BRF are not allowed to vote in the British General Elections. My question was really at what stage are the members of the family considered not close enough to the throne and allowed to vote in the elections?

 

[tommy1716]

Technically members of the royal family can vote, but they choose not to so as not to be seen comprimising the Queen and the Monarchy's political neutrality. I would imagine that apart from the Queen's children and maybe grandchildren and the couisnes who carry out official duties may not vote but the rest of the "family" probably could. I remember reading somewhere (the Daily Mail or The Telegraph) that Lord Linley attend a Conservative Party fundraiser not long ago.

 

[RoyalProtocol]

So your definition of "Royal Family" is the descendants of George V and Queen Mary?

Well yes, but I had intended to go further as well, into those descended fro KEVII and QA.

These surely are unofficial members of the royal family

I think more extended than unofficial

If we call this list 'Members of the Extended Royal Family' then there'll be no arguments and members can appreciate the work done by RoyalProtocol in compiling it for us.

Thanks Warren, hopefully this will become a very extended and accurate list

I didn't see Sarah Chatto on the list, or maybe I just didn't see it.

I too couldn't find Sarah Chatto and her children listed. They should be after Lord Linley and his children.

Sarah Chatto isn't on the list. She has 2 sons Samuel and Arthur.

Warren has added them in retrospect, thanks

 

[RoyalProtocol]

Up to Miss Amelia Etherington there are 101 Members of the Extended Royal Family, we then would move on to the present royal family of Norway

 

[Roslyn]

It's an interesting list. Thanks for compiling it and posting it, RoyalProtocol.

Thanks, it's still a work in progress but we're getting there!

Many thanks, Tommy. Thats very useful information.

 

[EllieCat]

In the list, Lady Divina Lewis should be Davina surely?

 

[Iluvbertie]

Members of the BRF are not allowed to vote in the British General Elections. My question was really at what stage are the members of the family considered not close enough to the throne and allowed to vote in the elections?

I remember when they lowered the voting age in Britain in 1969 having a discussion in class about the fact that Princess Anne would actually be able to vote in the next General Election but that Prince Charles, as a royal duke (Duke of Cornwall) wouldn't.

It was also reported, in our papers (and I still have the cutting somewhere I think) reporting that she had stated that she wouldn't be exercising that right. That was in 1970 when she came to Australia with her parents and Prince Charles. There was a lengthy piece on her in our local paper as she came to the small town where I was at school, with the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh but not Charles (he wasn't allowed to fly on the same plane as the Queen) and that paper included her saying that she wouldn't vote although fully entitled to do so.

One of the reasons for creating the sons Dukes was so that they couldn't vote in or stand for election to the House of Commons.

 

[Warren]

Amended.

 

[branchg]

Although divorced, both Sarah, Duchess of York and The Earl of Snowdon are considered extended members of the royal family as well.

 

[RoyalProtocol]

Although divorced, both Sarah, Duchess of York and The Earl of Snowdon are considered extended members of the royal family as well.

As a rule I have only included those who are currently married into the Royal Family, Sarah and Tony are divorcees and therefore not actual members of the RF, but they are still extended members,

perhaps they could be added in italics at the end of the list

 

[AnnEliza]

Sengreal, they would not be not considered to be of royal blood, since they are descendants of a person who was not married to a royal. Camilla, Sarah and Diana are all descendants of children "born on the wrong side of the blanket", to put it politely.

Most of their ancestors would have been given titles but would have been considered noble/aristocratic, versus royal

Does this mean someone descended legitimately marriage from a monarch is considered royal? Or would you just say they have royal blood? For example, I am descended legitimately from Edward III (through female but legitimate lineage), so I would think that I could say I have royal blood, but not that I am royal. Very diluted royal blood.

 

[Mermaid1962]

I would think that to be considered truly "royal", someone would have to have Royal Highness or Imperial Highness or Majesty as an actual title. Serene Highnesses and His/Her Highnesses aren't considered royal.

For example, The Princess Royal's children aren't technically royal, even though their grandmother is the Queen.

Does this mean someone descended legitimately marriage from a monarch is considered royal?

 

[AnnEliza]

That certainly makes sense to me. Although British princes and princesses are titled His/Her Royal Highness, so I'd say they are royal, also (the children of the monarch.) And the grandchildren who are children of the monarch's sons -- Princes William and Harry, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie all have HRH, and so do Prince Edward's children, though he and his wife prefer not to use those titles. As I understand it, it's because children take their titles from their fathers that Princess Anne's children are not HRH.

Besides, I also read that most people with European ancestry could, if they had the resources, trace their lineage back to a European king somewhere. One source pointed out that kings and princes had more opportunity to sire children, and that they were richer and better nourished than peasants, thus more likely to have healthy children. And if they acknowledged illegitimate children they often gave them titles and lands, so they had wealth and an advantage for survival also, so a better chance of having lots of descendants.
