Yep, it means you buy Crown Royal. If anything proves royalty, it's the cash to buy decent booze. I'm in the peasant class so it's VO for me.

I'm still a long ways from finishing with the chart, but not seeing too many bastards in my family bro...except within the last two centuries or so, in isolated cases.
So far I'm up to 8 or 9....kings that is....countless dukes, earls, counts, princes and princesses, lords, knights, stewards, etc. I wonder if "most people in the world" really are direct descendents of 8 or 9+ British, French, Norman, Spanish, and Scottish kings? That's just on ONE side of the family! I haven't even started on the other....which I think may contain some Cherokee (untraceable I'm sure), and possibly its own surprises through the English/Welsh "Henry" line.
These aren't discreet, isolated incidents. These are recorded family lines. There's many examples of given names i.e. "Thomas", "William", "John" and family history being passed along through multiple generations (2nd, 3rd, 4th....9th, 10th, etc), maybe ending in a daughter after many generations (all of whom married into nobility themselves) who was then married off to some other noble family, or into some new line of descent which arose from nothing, conquered some small area, and became worthy enough to marry into nobility, and so on.
Some people say the study of this type of stuff is worthless, but they are dead wrong. Our ancestors knew that recording these stories, names, and deeds was important, so that's why they took such great care of record keeping that we can trace back this information 1000+ years. By tracing back these characteristics and traits through generations we can discover more about who we are.
Think of it like this. If you sprout a random cannabis seed you were given and out pops a totally bad ass pheno....no, you don't have to know the history of that seed to grow it out and make awesome pot from it. But if you DID know the history, and knew it was a cross of say Skunk#1 and Haze, and knew the history of those lines...that would tell you a great deal more about that plant than you could ever possibly determine just by observing the plant alone, and much more quickly.
Bottom line is stories are important to the human race. Now that I know a little more about the story of where I came from, and where others around me came from, it makes it easier to put the world around me in context and understand why people are the places they are today, and where they are headed.
I like lots of booze. I'm not a commonsewer so I probably slum a few.
I'm related to GOD. So that makes me pretty special.
On a more serious note. My father once said something to me. "What have you done? What have you earned? That's what you are" In other words, nothing that my family had done or earned meant anything. It didn't make me better than anyone else. The only thing I could claim is what I myself had done. Nothing that they had given me made better than anyone else. The privileges and advantages that I had been given meant that I should be more humble and work harder.
I don't care about names, countries, languages, titles, etc.......All that matters is what you yourself have done with your life and how you have lived it. Just my 2cents.

Well duh.....why do you think everyone was so grouchy, and fought and had wars all the time? It's got to be the dandruff.
hey, you are happy and it has put some wind into your farts so hey
im curious though.
why did your family lose the "royality"
and why exactly are you proud of having royals as your ancestors?
neither a diss question really.
oh, the kings im supposedly descended from was harald the fair of hair (named so because he refused to cut or clean his hair or beard till he was made king (says alot about the times that he did, but before his time there were no real kings there, just alot of chiefs)
after that my ancestry for a thousand years consists of a few bishops, farmers, sheepthieves and slaves (iceland was too tough a place to live and too far away from everything to keep on being vikings)
though mixed with a few portuguese and french sailors and actually some native american blood (the vikings that went to america, brought back some women)
icelanders were obsessed with ancestry, too such a degree that everyone can trace their ancestry back at least thousand years or more.
on the gods in the ancestry, many kings claimed relations to some god or another. sigurd fafnisbane one of my ancestors was claimed to be a
halfgod, son of odin. similar to hercules or whatnot.
odin was not really a nice guy though, instigator of wars and shit and human sacrifices were made to him.
though on that note, most everyone back then, was a bit of a shitheel.
kings became kings through treachery and murder.
as the elite of today, they were kinda like vampires, leeches on humanity. control through fear and illusion.

We all descended from the same (African) woman.

BTW, is this an advertisement for ancestry.com or something... sounds like one of those weight-watchers testimonials.... I got fat, then I went to this website and ate this and I got skinny again! YIPPEE!
Astrophysicists say that parallel universes are so vast, we're all kings and queens in our respective, parallel existence.
Unfortunately, this means we're also a bunch of jerk-offs and everything in between.
