The Royal in question was third (I believe; its been quite a while since I
studied this) or fourth in line for the throne. He was later confined in The
Royal Palace and died at an early age. Must I drag out my old text books and
give you a case by case scenario? I have neither the time not the
inclination to do that. The facts are availabe to you in any decent library
if you care to research them.
