1. If you're European – or even descended from Europeans – you're probably related to royalty. In 1999, the Yale statistician Joseph Chang showed that if you go back far enough – say, 32 generations, or 900 years – you'd find that everyone alive today shares a common ancestor.
Queen Elizabeth is worth an estimated $530 million, and that's just her cut of the royal family's total fortune.
In light of the public support of William, royal expert Simon Vigar recently revealed that Queen Elizabeth has rejected the idea of the crown skipping Charles. “The Queen doesn't believe in breaking the rules, she does not want Charles to step aside when she passes. William doesn't want that to happen,” Vigar stated.
You might be surprised by what your surname can reveal about your family's origins. Surnames provide an enormous amount of information and are fundamental in family research. Not only do they reveal the identities of your ancestors, but can also tell you details about their lives.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have named their baby son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Archie means "genuine", "bold" or "brave" - and is more popular in Britain than the US.
In humans, the most extreme cases of close inbreeding are frequently found in royal dynasties. Indeed, brother-sister and parent-child marriages were not unusual in ancient royal dynasties such as the Egyptian pharaohs or the Persian dynasty (Middleton, 1962; Bixler, 1982a, 1982b; Ager, 2005).
Along with Elizabeth and Charlotte, other royal names for girls in the US Top 100 include Alice, Amelia, Caroline, Eleanor, Emma, Sarah, Sophia, and Victoria. Eugenie, Bridget, Maud, and Matilda are among the more surprising royal girl names over the centuries.
The British royal family's last name is technically Windsor, but that's a relatively new development. In 1960, to make things more confusing, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, decided to add their own spin to the Windsor name, distinguishing their descendants from the rest of the royal family.

The House of Windsor as we know it today began in 1917 when the family changed its name from the German “Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.” Queen Elizabeth's grandfather, King George V, was the first Windsor monarch, and today's working royals are the descendants of King George and his wife, Queen Mary.

Royal Origin and MeaningThe name Royal is a girl's name of English origin. Word names may not be gendered in English, but Royal was used mostly for boys—as in Wes Anderson's anti-hero Royal Tennenbaum—until Lil' Kim named her daughter Royal.
Hours after giving the world its first glimpse of the newborn, the couple took to Instagram to share that they chose the name Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor for their son. The announcement included a sweet photo of Meghan and Harry introducing baby Archie to Queen Elizabeth II.
The reason Prince Philip didn't become King Philip when he married Queen Elizabeth in 1947 has to do with parliamentary law. In British royalty, the spouse of a king or queen is called a consort. A man who marries the queen is called the prince consort and a woman who marries the king is the queen consort.

When travelling overseas, The Queen does not require a British passport. As a British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty, it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one. All other members of the Royal Family, including The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales, have passports.
Vanity Fair wrote in a lengthy profile on the royal couple in 2018, "According to recent reports, she will eventually become queen consort, the customary title for the wife of a reigning king." This is also the title that Kate Middleton will receive when Prince William eventually becomes king.
Since ancient times, some monarchs have chosen to use a different name from their original name when they accede to the monarchy. The regnal name is usually followed by a regnal number, written as a Roman numeral, to differentiate that monarch from others who have used the same name while ruling the same realm.
Same goes for Meghan. In a tweet, ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship wrote, "Clarification on the HRH style: both Harry and Meghan will RETAIN them but they will no longer USE them." The couple will reportedly be known as Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
