The DuPonts are AMERICAN, and, by definition, NOT royalty.
Royalty USED to marry by different rules than we have today, because they didn't KNOW about inbreeding! This is actually a fairly new concept in the scope of history, you know.
Yes, they married what we, today, would consider incestuous partners...first cousins, mostly...to keep ';royal blood'; pure. But, that practice has died out in the last century, because we have SCIENCE now, and SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that marriage of such close relatives causes retardation, etc. (hemophilia is another issue with inbreeding, but that isn't the only cause of it).
But, interestingly, the same essential blood line that produced the very retarded and physically messed up specimen Carlos II of Spain, also produced Louis XIV of France, who lived to be about 75 years old.IUs it true some royalty have incest so they dont marry outside the family and need to share the wealth?
You are American royalty. Yeah.
You realize there IS no American Royalty....and the DuPonts had no real connection to any royalty.
And, if you are from some deposed royal family...yeah, I guess, you should probably lose the title. We don't really take to kindly to that here.

Historically, royal marriages were made to consolidate power between countries. For example, the king of spain would marry his daughter to the son of the king of england, thus making the countries allies against others like the french.
I don't think that it had much to do with money but more to do with the forging of alliances.Remember,after the children and grandchildren married,they related every royal household in Europe.Having said that however,it did not stop the First World War.
Not now, but in the past yes
