royal family

royal family
In a larger sense, all those persons who are by any possibility inheritable to the crown. In a narrower sense, only those who are within a certain degree of propinquity to the king. After that degree is past, they fall into the rank of ordinary subjects, and are seldom considered any further, unless called to the succession upon failure of the nearer lines of consanguinity. See 1 Bl Comm 224.
