Royal House of the Tigerium

Tigrish, Tijgertje and Tiggy at a snowy resort on 8 january 2026

The Royal House of the Tigerium is the current reigning dynasty of the Tigerium and its vassals. The royal house provides the Monarch of the Tigerium. Initially Tigrish reigned as king, though he was later succeeded by Tijgertje, who has reigned since 2007.

The requirements to join the royal house have typically been considered very strict. Only tigers who look like the royals and fit their style are eligible to acquire the classification of a formal member of the Royal House. To succeed to the Tigerian throne, a member must hold the title of Golden Royal, which has its own set of strict requirements. All members of the royal house are under the constant protection of the Queensguard.

The royal family also provides a crown minister, which is the only royal with de jure influence in the Tigerian government aside from the monarch. Under the present constitution all other royals hold only ceremonial titles, though each member of the royal family still holds extensive influence in practice.

The royal family has been generally held in high regard, with a constant approval rating of around 90%. The family is known for going on trips to the Spirit Gardens in Muschy Hills and luxury resorts in Juniorwood. The royal family is related to the House of Ashai, which is related to the Starstripe Family, which in turn is related to the Purr Family, the reigning dynasty of Juniorwood which has historically held close ties with the Tigerian Royal Family.

Origins and name

The royal house recognizes 2 monarchs, beginning with Tigrish and continuing up to the current queen, Tijgertje. Some scholars have argued there were more royals preceding these two, though there is no sufficient evidence to support this claim.

While the main line of the dynasty does not have a name and is referred to as just Koningshuis van het Tigerium (Royal House of the Tigerium), other houses were absorbed into the royal family. The most prominent example is the House of Trelawney, which was absorbed into the royal house after Tigros joined the royal family and disbanded the House of Trelawney.

Members

The monarch is the head of the Tigerian royal family. Only Golden Royals can succeed to the Tigerian throne. This title is exclusive to tigers who are formal members of the royal family and the offspring of a current or former monarch with the other parent being a formal member of the royal family as well.

Formal members of the royal family share the same privileges as Golden Royals, though they are not eligible to succeed to the throne. The requirements to become a formal member are less strict than those of a Golden Royal. Tigers who fit the royal family in general style and have a relation to the royal family, such as being direct family or in a relationship with another formal member, are often granted formal membership of the royal family.
