The Blozenlandic Royal Family is the family group of close relatives of the monarch of Blozendland. There is no strict legal or formal definition in Blozendland of who is or is not a member of the Royal Family, and different lists will include different people. However, those carrying the style His or Her Majesty (HM), or His or Her Royal Highness (HRH) are normally considered members. By this criterion, the Royal Family will usually include the monarch, the consort of the monarch, the widows and widowers of previous monarchs, the children of the monarch and previous monarchs, children of the children of the monarch or previous monarchs and possibly a previous monarch who has abdicated and is still living.

Some members of the Royal Family have official residences named as the places from which announcements are made in the Court Circular about official engagements they have carried out. The state duties and staff of some members of the Royal Family are funded from a parliamentary annuity, the amount of which is fully refunded by the King to the treasury.

The Royal House is Wilmijkbroeken.

Status

Members and relatives of the Blozenlandic Royal Family historically represented the monarch in various places throughout the world, sometimes for specific ceremonies or events. Today, they often perform ceremonial and social duties throughout Blozenland and abroad on behalf of Blozenland. Aside from the monarch, their only constitutional role in the affairs of government is to serve, if eligible and when appointed by letters patent, as a Counsellor of State, two or more of whom exercise the authority of the Crown (within stipulated limits) if the monarch is indisposed or abroad.

The King, his consort, his children, as well as all former sovereigns' children and grandchildren hold places in the first sections of the official orders of precedence in Blozenland. Wives of the said enjoy their husbands' precedence, and husbands of princesses are unofficially but habitually placed with their wives as well. The King did not alter the relative precedence of other born-princesses, such as the daughters of her younger sons.
