See Sir Laurence Gardner. For the right fee, he'll "find" the provenance for you.
Adoptions were quite popular in the past.
Addendum: Well, with enough money, if you want a British title, you can buy a borough.
Why can't you marry a prince? There are thousands of them just goofing around. I speak of minor princes, but there literally are thousands in Europe, and the equivalents of them in other places. I know at least a dozen princes and princesses, but they are really far removed from succession, and in some cases, their prinicipalities are currently in not recognized as being in existence.

Birth or marriage are the only routes to becoming royal. But beware some of the titles being sold. Certainly the ones sold in Britain do not connote nobility, and anyone in the know would be able to sniff out a mere 'lord of the manor' as opposed to a bona fide 'peer of the realm'. If you're simply hankering after a title, you could give a lot of money to the Labour Party of Great Britain and could end up with a knighthood.

sorry you have to be born royal. No you can not buy titles of nobility. The only way to get a title is it has to be granted by the ruling sovereign. So those who tell you that you can buy a title are pure fake and not recognize titles. A real title has a royal letter patent granted by the ruling sovereign

If you really think about it, all royalty was originally derived from one person being tough and potentially violent enough to be declared ruler, royal families were the ones who managed to hold on to this power through marriage, politics and the threat of more violence.... so i suspect that it isnt really possible to become a royal through assuming the title and slaughtering all those who disagree.

Alternately, subvert your local Republic as a military dictator/protector of the people and then gradually boil the frogs into a hereditary monarchy.
It's worked for 2000 years or more from Caesar to Kim Il-Sung.

Today it is allowed. Besides, one may discover that he is of a royal family.

Take over a country, terrorise the inhabitants into submission to your will and get them to crown you King or Queen.

You can't become royalty without blood or marriage, but you can become nobility. In England & some other European countries, you can purchase titles.

Just take over a country, and declare yourself supreme ruler over all. It's just that simple.
