About This Quiz

Picture this: it's 4 a.m. An anxious kingdom holds its breath, waiting for news from the queen's bedchamber. She's been in labor for hours. The doctors are looking worried. Then a baby's cry is heard. Word spreads among the servants, then to the surrounding city, then to the entire country. Journalists file breathless reports on national TV, foreign dignitaries wire messages of congratulation to the palace, and ordinary families everywhere drink toasts to the baby's health. Why? Because the baby is gorgeous, the baby is royal, and the baby is you

Yep, you're the latest member of the royal family. Destined for a life of pomp, circumstance and paparazzi, you'll be both amazingly fortunate and amazingly scrutinized. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but even though heads who are just related to the crown by blood can have a hard time, as Princess Eugenie can attest. Yet, let's face it — most of us would LOVE to be royal. Which is what this quiz is all about!

We're going to ask you a series of questions of how you'd behave if you were actually a king, queen, princess, viscount or baroness. Through your answers to these hypothetical scenarios, we'll be able to figure out which historical royals you're most similar to. By the end of the quiz, we'll assign you a royal name and rank that's perfect for your personality. If that sounds more fun than a wedding at Westminster Abbey, stop checking Meghan Markle's Instagram and take this quiz!
