the royal family is the closest relative of the king or queen, and sometimes his extended family. The term imperial family correctly describes the family of an emperor or empress, and the term the papal family describes the family of a pope, while the term baronial family b>, < b> comital family , ducal family , big family ducal , or noble family more apt to describe the relatives of the reigning baron , counting, duke, grand duke, or prince. However, in everyday language any family member who rules with hereditary rights is often referred to as nobility or "nobility." It is also a custom in some circles to refer to the extended relation of the ousted king and his descendants as the royal family. A dynasty is sometimes referred to as the "House...". As of July 2013, there are 26 active ruling monarchies in the world that govern or govern more than 43 countries as a whole.

Members of the royal family
The royal family usually includes the couple from the ruling king, the surviving spouses of the deceased king, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and father cousins ââof the ruling king, as well as their spouses. In some cases, the membership of the royal family may be extended to great grandchildren and further descendants of kings. In certain monarchies where voluntary release is the norm, like the Netherlands, the royal family may also include one or more former kings. In certain cases, as in Canada, the royal family is defined by who holds the Majesty and Royal Highness styles. There is often a difference between people of the blood kingdom and those who marry the royal family. Under most systems, only people in the first category are dynasties, ie candidates for succession to the throne (unless the last category member is also in line with the throne in their own right, often in the royal family that often interbreed). This is not always observed; some kingdoms have operated under the principle of jure uxoris .
In addition, certain relatives of kings (by blood or marriage) are privileged and subject to certain laws, conventions, or special general laws. The exact function of the royal family varies depending on whether the government is an absolute monarchy, a constitutional monarchy, or between the two. In certain monarchies, such as those found in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, or in the political system in which the kings actually exercise executive power, as in Jordan, it is not uncommon for members of the royal family to hold important government or military command positions.. In most constitutional monarchies, however, members of the royal family perform certain public, social, or ceremonial functions, but refrain from involvement in electoral politics or the actual government of the state.
The special composition of the royal family varies from country to country, as well as title and royal and sublime styles held by family members. The composition of the royal family can be governed by laws passed by the legislature (eg Spain, the Netherlands and Japan since 1947), prerogative traditions and common law of sovereignty (eg the United Kingdom), or private home law (eg, Liechtenstein, in Bavaria, Prussia, Hanover, etc.). Public law, constitutional provisions, or conventions may also govern the marriage, names and personal titles of members of the royal family. Members of the royal family may or may not have a surname or dynastic name (see Royal House).
In a constitutional monarchy, when a king dies, there is always a law or tradition of succession to the throne that determines the formula for identifying the proper sequence of succession among family members that aligns with the throne or determines the process in which a family member is elected to inherit the crown. Usually in the first case, a precise line of hereditary succession among royal individuals may be identified at some point during the previous administration (eg England, Sark, Nizari Ismailis, Japan, Balobedus, Sweden, Kingdom of Benin) whereas in the latter case the next sovereign may be elected ( or changed) only during the reign or immediately after the death of the preceding king (eg Cambodia, KwaZulu Natal, Buganda, Saudi Arabia, Swaziland, Yorubaland, The Kingitanga). Some kingdoms use a mixture of this selection process (Malaysia, Monaco, Tonga, Jordan, Morocco), providing both identified succession lines as well as authority for kings, dynasties or other institutions to alter the lines in specific instances without changing general succession laws. Some countries have removed royalties altogether, such as in post-revolution France (finally in 1870) and Russia (1917).
