Revisiting Princesses

[Ironside]

Royal blood can be seen in the game as a fancy little crown to the right of the generals picture. Uncles have it, but when they die of old age, their "decendant" - that is the guy taking over the unit - loses the 'royal' status.

Not fully, they're still somewhat of half-royals (they'll still lead civil wars etc) even after losing that oryal status.

I think that the "being of the royal blood" background for the character stays (in his picture when you right click on his unit), while the 'potential heir symbol' disappears (on his unit icon).
