A royal family is the immediate family of a king or queen regnant, and sometimes his or her extended family. The term imperial family appropriately describes the family of an emperor or empress, while the terms ducal family, grand ducal family or princely family are more appropriate to describe the relatives of a reigning duke, grand duke, or prince. However, in common parlance members of any family which reigns by hereditary right are often referred to as royalty or "royals." It is also customary in some circles to refer to the extended relations of a deposed monarch and his or her descendants as a royal family. A dynasty is sometimes referred to as "the House of ...". As of July 2013, there are 26 active sovereign monarchies in the world who rule or reign over 43 countries in all.
A royal family typically includes the spouse of the reigning monarch, surviving spouses of a deceased monarch, the children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and paternal cousins of the reigning monarch, as well as their spouses. In some cases, royal family membership may extend to great grandchildren and more distant descendants of a monarch. In certain monarchies where voluntary abdication is the norm, such as the Netherlands, a royal family may also include one or more former monarchs. There is often a distinction between persons of the blood royal and those that marry into the royal family. In certain instances, such as in Canada, the royal family is defined by who holds the styles Majesty and Royal Highness. Under most systems, only persons in the first category are dynasts, that is, potential successors to the throne (unless the member of the latter category is also in line to the throne in their own right, a frequent occurrence in royal families which frequently intermarry). This is not always observed; some monarchies have operated by the principle of jure uxoris.

With only a few hours to see something in Hue, Vietnam, I headed straight to the Imperial Citadel, which contains the Imperial City. This site was the seat of power of the Nguyen dynasty, which united the geography that we now know as Vietnam. Often compared to the Forbidden City in Beijing, the smaller-scale palace was home to the imperial family. This complex contained temples, government buildings, quarters dedicated to the women of the family, and the Royal Theatre, Vietnam's oldest working theater. The main part of the city is called the Forbidden Purple City, where the royal family exclusively reside. While this place was constructed about 200 years ago, parts of it are in ruins. In the mid-1900s, the country was war-torn. Hue was not only invaded during the rise of the Viet Minh du...

Russia's Lost Princesses Episode 1 of 2 1. The Gilded Cage Interviews with leading historians, archive footage and dramatic reconstruction reveal the childhoods of Tsar Nicholas II's four daughters - Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia - and the truth behind the fairytale images. The sisters were the most photographed princesses of their day, attracting the same frenzied press attention as Princess Diana later would, but their public profile masked the reality of their strange and very isolated upbringing.
Indigenous Chinese theater (xiqu 戲曲) was the mass media of the Qing dynasty (1368-1911). Western visitors were struck by how deeply theater permeated Chinese society, and the imperial court, far from an exception, was able to mobilize resources for its theatrical productions that were far beyond the capacity of private or commercial theatrical productions. In this talk we will take a look at the ends to which those resources were mobilized, whether the goal was to impress foreigners, get on the right side of deities, or make life more entertaining for the imperial family. These extra resources made imperial theatrical performances (and the whole production process) significantly different from other forms of theatrical production in China at the time. We can also see the producers of imper...
