You may not expect this answer, but aren't we all truly "royalty." We are children of the Living God. Our Savior is referred to as the, "King of Kings and the Lord of Lords." So if you think about it, we are all children of the most high King, our Father in heaven.
Please know to all, I am not taking away from your earthly heritage, as it is something to be proud of. Just remember you are of a much more important heritage in our Lord God. :)

Yes I believe from my research in the family history that we are indeed descended from King James the 6th of Scotland and first of England. Or cousin any way if not in the direct line.
However I am still trying to figure out how many would have to die before I could take the throne. A lot I would say plus one cousin and a brother (who I would not like to lose) so I guess I will just be me, besides whatever we were before the family left from over the pond, I am sure we would be traitors now because I am also a gr gr gr gr gr gr gr granddaughter of a man who fought in the American Revolution.

Yes I am. My family lineage and our imperial connections could be traced right back from the 16th century in China. I am the direct descendent from Prince Geng of the Qing Dynasty, a very famous historical figure that many chinese historians are very familiar with.

I am descended from James III of Scotland (a younger son, through my mother), and from an illegitimate daughter of Louis XIV of France... I have better rights to the crown of Britain than the buffoons currently defiling it, I guess that makes me some kind of royalty?

No, but once upon a time, a long, long time ago, my family was gentry. As a reward for valor in battle, an ancestor was made a Baronet, the lowest rank. It has since been revoked and the lands and title annulled.

I have a variety of royals in my ancestry on several different lines and while I find this fascinating, it doesn't change who I am today. I am more proud of my Grandfather, a WWII veteran and excellent person in general than I am in knowing that I am descended from William the Conquerer.

My Mother told me that her Grandmothers maiden name was 'Fraser' which comes from the Highlands in Scotland, and that they were related to Scottish Royalty.

My Grandfather (German side) came from old prussian aristrocratic lineage. His name was Walter, Alfred von Hellberg. So that makes me his grand daughter very proud. Even so we are not rich. It's just the history that comes with it.

Yea. The Prime Minister lost his power to Germany. And I am now Queen of Germany.

Leicestershire is a county in the middle of England, so it was ruled by English monarchs. And no one is royal unless they are entitled to put HRH in front of their name.
