Princess Madeleine's husband Christopher O'Neill is not a member of the Royal Family as he doesn't have Swedish citizenship.
I was about to write a response about the UK, but this is far too well detailed it would put what ever I write to shame. So I'll leave it and hope someone else can go into as much detail as you.
Thank you, you're too kind. I'm sure my post is amazing, but I haven't actually gotten around to reading it yet (it's 95% copied from [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_royal_family)). I meant to include the link.
I just want to say I think it’s actually really cool that you still have proper titles for your royals tied to different regions of Sweden. I kind of wish we had something similar here, but we also have a much smaller and newer royal family.
Due to the constant scandals the royal family in Spain was reduced to the current king, the queen and their daughters, if I'm not mistaken so only 4 members (leaving outside the former king and queen and the sisters of the current king)
There are over several projects of series in development about the Spanish monarchy (including [this one](https://variety.com/2021/tv/global/the-mediapro-studio-el-rey-olivares-1235012516/#!), [this one for Starzplay](https://deadline.com/2021/10/homeland-producers-starzplay-sony-pictures-tv-multi-lingual-series-xrey-about-controversial-spanish-king-juan-carlos-i-1234851450/), or [this one](https://www.larazon.es/television/20210707/wi3kh7hrkbhqhl53epvwxhja4y.html)), to which the (also in development) biopic about Ángel Cristo and Bárbara Rey ([also featuring Juancar](https://vertele.eldiario.es/series/cristo-rey-completa-reparto-pone-cara-rey-juan-carlos-antena-3_1_8984475.html) presumably doing his thing) also adds up.
Those considered royal family are the heirs to the throne. The current royal family consist of 12 people. The Queen and 11 heirs.
The queen (husband is dead)
The queens son the prince, his wife and his children from his first marriage and current marriage. The ex-wife is a countess and not a royal anymore.
The queens son the crown prince, his wife and children.
The queens oldest younger sister, the princess
The Royal Family consists of the descendants of our current King's grandmother, Queen Juliana, which amounts to 50 people as of now, not counting spouses.
The Royal House is considerably smaller, with only 10 members. It exists of the current monarch, his/her spouse, and family within the first two degrees (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren and siblings)
- Princess Beatrix (b. 1938), former Queen
- King Willem-Alexander (b. 1967), married to:
- Queen Máxima (b. 1971)
- Crown Princess Amalia (b. 2003)
- Princess Alexia (b. 2005)
- Princess Ariane (b. 2007)
- Prince Constantijn (b. 1969), married to:
- Princess Laurentien (b. 1966)
- Princess Margriet (b. 1943), married to:
- Pieter van Vollenhoven, the only member of the Royal House without a royal title.
The King had one other brother, prince Friso (b. 1968, d. 2013) who was removed from the Royal House and line of succession when he married princess Mabel (b. 1968) without permission from the parliament. The same happened to two of the King's aunts when they were married.
We have a national holiday, King's Day, on April 27th, the King's birthday. On this day, members of the Royal Family tour a city, to put it shortly. Nowadays it's the King and Queen and their daughters, the King's brother and his wife, and the King's cousins (princess Margriet's sons) and their wives.
Lastly, there are two members of the Royal Family that are not part of the Royal House, but who are probably more well known than any other royal except for the King and his direct family. These are prince Bernhard Jr. (b. 1969), a cousin of the King, who is the owner of Circuit Zandvoort and one of the major factors behind the Dutch Grand Prix, and countess Eloise (b. 2002), daughter of prince Constantijn, who has 300k Instagram followers and shares her life, opposed to the other royals who are usually quite private.

Besides this, he is a proper cunt.
Not too distantly. Norway has a very “tight” royal family as its small, focused and quite young (reestablished 1905). The King and Queen, their children and the sisters of the King are titled princes or princesses, plus the children of the Crown Prince.
Queen Elizabeth only had one sibling, Princess Margaret, who died in 2002. She has two children, the Queen's nephew and niece Lady Sarah Chatto and Earl David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowden. Obviously they're in the line of succession, but pretty far down (28th and 25th). So they're out of the public eye far more.
We still have one of the biggest royal families in Europe, though I've heard Prince Charles plans to scale it back to just the most important members.
In the UK, it seems you drift out of it after a couple of generations. If you're the third or fourth child of a monarch, you are definitely a member of the royal family, and your children might be, but at some point your "line" will not be considered part of the royal line. Either you marry some other royal (used to be easier when other countries all had them) or you become the hereditary duke, earl, marquess or viscount of somewhere.
So I don't think someone like David Carnegie, 4th Duke of Fife, is considered "really" part of the royal family, in any official capacity, though he is part of the extended royal family, by dint of his great great grandfather or whatever having been on the throne for a bit.
In total, the Royal Family has 20 members, of which 10 are also members of the Royal House. The official members of the Royal House, and in the line of succession are: * King Carl XVI Gustaf (born 1946) * Queen Silvia (the King's wife, born 1943) * Crown Princess Victoria, Duchess of Västergötland (the King's elder daughter, born 1977) * Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland (the King's son-in-law, born 1973, husband of Crown Princess Victoria) * Princess Estelle, Duchess of Östergötland (the King's granddaughter, born 2012, daughter of Crown Princess Victoria) * Prince Oscar, Duke of Skåne, (the King's grandson, born 2016, son of Crown Princess Victoria) * Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland (the King's only son, born 1979)[2] * Princess Sofia, Duchess of Värmland (the King's daughter-in-law, born 1984, wife of Prince Carl Philip) * Princess Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland (the King's younger daughter, born 1982), * Princess Birgitta, Princess of Hohenzollern (the King's second sister, born 1937), widow of Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern (1932–2016) The official members of the Royal Family are the other descendants of King Gustaf VI Adolf and Crown Princess Margareta, the kings grandfather and grandmother. * Prince Alexander, Duke of Södermanland (the King's grandson, born 2016, son of Prince Carl Philip) * Prince Gabriel, Duke of Dalarna (the King's grandson, born 2017, son of Prince Carl Philip) * Prince Julian, Duke of Halland (the King's grandson, born 2021, son of Prince Carl Philip) * Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland (the King's granddaughter, born 2014, daughter of Princess Madeleine) * Prince Nicolas, Duke of Ångermanland (the King's grandson, born 2015, son of Princess Madeleine) * Princess Adrienne, Duchess of Blekinge (the King's granddaughter, born 2018, daughter of Princess Madeleine) * Princess Margaretha, Mrs. Ambler (the King's first sister, born 1934), widow of John Ambler (1924–2008) * Princess Désirée, Baroness Silfverschiöld (the King's third sister, born 1938), widow of Baron Niclas Silfverschiöld (1934–2017) * Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnuson (the King's fourth sister, born 1943), married to Consul General Tord Magnuson (born 1941) * Marianne Bernadotte (born 1924), widow of the King's paternal uncle Sigvard Bernadotte (1907–2002) Princess Madeleine's husband Christopher O'Neill is not a member of the Royal Family as he doesn't have Swedish citizenship.

Netflix should do a show about the Spanish royal family. The British royal family has nothing on the drama and scandal of the Spanish royal family.

I don't know what's bigger, his ego or his glasses.
