Template:Politics of the Latin Empire The Latin Imperial Family consists of Emperor Constantine XX and his close familial relations. The Acts of Succession provide a loose definition of what comprises the Imperial family, though there is no strict definition of who is or is not a member, with final decisions of inclusion or exclusion left to the sole discretion of the reigning Monarch. The Latin Imperial Family is also the Royal House of Belfras. The current Imperial Family is the House of Claudius. While titled members of the House do not utilize a surname, since 1955 all non-titled male-line descendants of Empress Diana Augusta may utilize the surname Claudius Anicius or Claudius.

Generally, individuals entitled to the style of Imperial Majesty (HIM), or Imperial Highness (HIH) are considered members of the Imperial Family. This normally consists of the reigning Monarch, his or her spouse, their children, male-line grandchild of the Monarch or a previous Monarch, as well as their spouses.

Most members of the Imperial Family reside in official residences throughout Latium or Belfras. Members of the Imperial Family will carry out official engagements on behalf of the Monarch on occasion. Current members that carry out official engagements is currently limited to The Emperor, The Empress, The Empress Mother, The Dowager Empress, and The Princess Maria, Countess of Mediolanum. Less frequently, The Duke and Duchess of Beroea will carry out engagements when primary members of the Imperial Household are otherwise indisposed.

Styles and titles

The titles and styles of members of the Imperial Family are governed by the Acts of Succession, and letters patent issued by Empress Diana Augusta in 1955.

  • The reigning Monarch is The Emperor or The Empress and is afforded the style of His or Her Imperial Majesty.
  • The Emperor's wife is The Empress, who holds the style of Her Imperial Majesty. The husband of the Empress regnant is not afforded any additional style or title, though in recent times has been titled Prince Consort with the style His Imperial Highness.
  • The heir apparent, or in some cases the heir presumptive, is afforded the title Prince of Youth or Princess of Youth, and the style of His Imperial Highness.
  • An Emperor's children, not the Prince or Princess of Youth, as well as children of a Prince or Princess, bear the title of Prince or Princess with the territorial designation "of Latium" with the style of His or Her Imperial Highness. A Princess will lose her territorial designation upon marriage and assume that of her husband; if the husband has no title, the Princess will retain her title, but have no territorial designation, or be granted the title of Princess Imperial should it be available. A Prince discards his territorial designation if or when he is awarded a peerage, typically after marrying.
  • Spouses of a monarch's sons or daughters are afforded any styles or titles that the monarch bestows upon them. Most often, wives of a Prince have the style of Her Imperial Highness, and the equivalent of her husband's title (ie: Duchess, Countess, etc.).
  • The monarch may, in his sole discretion, grant any family member any title which he or she chooses.
