Royals?

The term "royals" is naff at best. Is there a compelling reference for this neologism? --Nick Bell (talk) 21:59, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a standard term used by the source. It isn't a neologism; it's been used as a noun since at least 1440 according to the OED, which also gives representative examples of modern use by Cecil Beaton, James Lees-Milne and The Independent. DrKiernan (talk) 06:52, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK - not a neologism; but OED lists it as a colloquialism, other than a Middle English reference from 1573 (With the quene Anne in tombe of marbel stone, Full royally arayed as royals) — Preceding unsigned comment added by NickBell (talkcontribs) 10:59, 2 August 2013 (UTC)--Nick Bell (talk) 20:13, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Beatrix is worth a bit more than 200 million: http://www.quotenet.nl/Nieuws/Oranje-boven-koningin-Beatrix-hard-op-weg-naar-1-miljard-26031 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Numtek (talkcontribs) 18:49, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Updating

Hello everyone. I think that the article needs updating because the ancient king Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud is no longer a king. Regards --Eclipsis Proteo (talk) 22:57, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update - it seems like soneone took a single article in Forbes from 2011 and created this page. The people and their wealth is out of date and it all seems pretty unsubstantiated. Isn't it just a candidate for deletion?Zero1zero2 (talk) 06:58, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
