Regardless of what city, country or continent you live in, you have no doubt heard about the Royal Family. From scandals to tragedy, fabrications to amusing anecdotes, they have made headlines and tabloids the world round. Yet even with the amount of media coverage, there are still things we don’t know about them, which, honestly, is probably for the better. Even royalty deserve their privacy. Plus, if movies have taught me anything, it’s that rich families tend to have at least one or two eccentrics among them.

Thankfully nothing truly disturbing has been brought to light. In fact, for the most part they seem rather humble. Princes Harry and William both served time with the military, as well as dedicating their time to volunteer in other countries. Queen Elizabeth takes ‘royal walkabouts’ not in any official capacity, but in fact to meet as many people as possible. Like, real people. Like you or me.
Not only that, they are keeping up with the times. They now have their own website, Twitter, and YouTube channel. Just a shame we never got a Royal Family Harlem Shake… But you already knew that about the Royal Family.
From peculiar royal decrees to pretty neat genealogical ties to famous people across the Atlantic Ocean, here’s 12 Things You Need To Know About The Royal Family.
12. Rich, But Not That Rich
You may think royalty means you can have whatever you want and do whatever you want, not only because of your status, but because of your bulging wallet. Well, this is kind of true, but the royal family is far from the richest in the UK. In fact, with a rough net worth of $550 million, the Queen is about 257th on the list of richest people in the UK. Okay, so that’s still a lot of money, but most of it is from assets she can’t technically sell, such as land belonging to the royal family and other assets.
