Royals do exist in real life :eyes: fantasy is classified as a fiction dependent for effect on strangeness of setting (such as other worlds or times) and of characters (such as supernatural or unnatural beings), according to Google.

But creating your own world can be considered fantasy, so I think that every story is indeed a fantasy unless stated to be inspired by real life events? :joy:
It’s just a line to make things clear, which for fantasy, its boundaries are actually very blurry :eyes:

Not gonna lie, the most surprising part of this definition is that it can be spelled with a ph. English is cursed.
