I do not know all the technicalities and requirements. I just recently found last week in my family history that I am related to King's and Queen's of Europe. Can you help me with my answer?

There is no such thing as "registering for royal status". People of English or Welsh descent can (for a fee) submit their pedigree to the College of Heralds in London for checking and registration, if the Heralds find it proved. But that wouldn't by any stretch of the term amount to an acknowledgement of "royal status".



It has been calculated that it's mathematically probable that 99% of the present-day population of England who are of predominantly English descent (i.e. not recent immigrants) are descended from Edward III alone, never mind descended from all the other English kings in the last millennium. So if you were "royal", on the basis of your research, so would everybody else in England be!

When your royal ancestry doesn't start until that far back you aren't considered royalty.



There is no way you can register to be royalty.

It is believed by some that 90% of the population of France and Germany are descended from Charlemagne but that doesn't make them all royalty.



I might add that family trees online should be verified before taking everything as absolute fact. Even in genealogy websites, free or not free, the information is subscriber submitted and mostly not documented or poorly documented. Frequently you will see different info on the same people from different subscribers. Then you will see absolutely same info on the same people from different subscribers, but that is no guarantee it is correct. A lot of people copy without verifying. Actually, if you disagree with something someone has posted on your family on any genealogy websites, the owners of the website will tell you that is between you and the other subscriber. You can make up an entirely fictitious family tree and it will be accepted by the websites.



Now, since your ancestry is southern, there are very good odds you have some royal ancestry.

The early English settlers to the colonial south usually came from titled families. This is particularly true of the early Jamestown settlers.



A man from the College of Arms in London was giving a talk to a genealogy society. He said a man came into the College of Arms stating he wanted to find his coat of arms because he was a "yankee blueblood." He said he asked him, "What do you mean a yankee blueblood?" He stated he had ancestors on the Mayflower. He was told, "My good man, there were no bluebloods on the Mayflower. All the bluebloods went to Jamestown." The man responded, "Jamestown, New York?" No, he was told, "Jamestown, Virginia."



I understand one man on the Mayflower did have a coat of arms. Among the original settlers at Jamestown, including members of the crew, only 5 did not have a coat of arms. Some were younger members of titled families and their chances of inheritance was slim so they were willing to learn a trade to come over to the New World.

You can't register for Royal status, you're either Royal or not. There are many people who are much closer to the monarchy but are not considered members of the Royal family.

If you're serious, and you have enough money, the College of Heralds in London can help, but it will be expensive and take a long time. Otherwise you're stuffed!
