Royal Family The Gaelic Royal Family is the group of close relatives of the monarch of the Gaelic Nations. The term is also commonly applied to the same group of people as the relations of the monarch in his or her role as sovereign of any of the other realms of the Gaelic Nations, thus sometimes at variance with official national terms for the family. Members of the royal family belong to (are born into), or are married into, the Royal House of MacRauri. Although in the Gaelic Nations there is no strict legal or formal definition of who is or is not a member of the Royal Family, and different lists will include different people, those carrying the style His or Her Majesty (HM), or His or Her Royal Highness (HRH) are always considered members, which usually results in the application of the term to the monarch, the consort of the monarch, the widowed consorts of previous monarchs, the children of the monarch, the male-line grandchildren of the monarch, and the spouses and the widowed spouses of a monarch's son and male-line grandsons. Members and relatives of the Gaelic Royal Family historically represented the monarch in various places throughout the Gaelic Empire, sometimes for extended periods as Governors, or for specific ceremonies or events. They often perform ceremonial and social duties throughout the Gaelic Nations and abroad on behalf of the Nations, but, aside from the monarch, have no constitutional role in the affairs of government. This is the same for the other realms of the Gaelic Nations though the family there acts on behalf of, is funded by, and represents the sovereign of that particular state, and not the Gaelic Nations. Nobility Titles Noble titles were given to individuals by monarchs as an honor and a way of securing allegiance and bestowing landownership. Titles are also indications of social status. Relatives of a monarch have noble titles. The Monarch may give titles to people who demonstrated exemplary service to the crown in some manner such as a war hero. A noble title signifies that a person is a peer of the realm, has a seat in the House of Lords and many privileges. Once a person becomes a peer, the title becomes a permanent part of his family name and remains in his family for generations. Title Rank Gaelic peerage follows a ranking system that indicates level of honor and privilege. Only the person considered a peer holds a title in his own right. His wife and children are given courtesy titles. Gaelic nobility titles are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Arch Duke (King or Queen’s oldest living sibling) Duke Marquis Earl Viscount Baron [/color]
