So Queen Victoria called Royal bastards when she banned them from court; since then they have remained unacknowledged.

Not so in France, Spain, Belgium, Monaco etc. - where Kings and Princes ultimately had to admit paternity for, often, more than one illegitimate offspring.

Denials were common, but DNA soon alleviates all doubts. Recently, a new member (with staus and titles) was added to the Belgium Royal family.

She is the daughter of a former King and had to face his blanket denials for years. Many suggest 'ghosts' will soon begin to appear here.

Do you mean Prince Andrew? Its ridiculous. He looks just like Prince Phillip.

What is the story about Victoria banishing them?

Aren't they are just a bunch of incestious crybabies ?
