The Cordonian royal family is the reigning family of Cordonia. It comprises of King Liam and his close relations. Though there is no strict legal definition, the lists of members of the royal family has decreased during the reign of King Constantine. The King decreased the number of active members of the family who represent the monarchy due to geopolitical tensions since the 1990s, though his son King Liam has actively expanded the royal family functions. Members of the royal family support the monarch in undertaking public engagements, charity work, political advising and improving the public image of Cordonia. The political powers of the monarch have been limited since the 19th-cenutry but still affect the politics of Cordonia and its members are regarded as cultural symbols of the country and of Europe as a whole.
