Talk:Britannian Imperial Family

Does anyone know anything about the princes/princesses between 5 and 11? We got Carline Le Britannia as 5th princess, then Lelouch and Nunnally at 11th prince and princess respectively. Or is it just that the ones in between were only seen in Manga/Games? Snoopy 18:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Princes: #1 Odysseus (Age:??), #2 Schneizel (Age 28), #3 Clovis (Age 24 at time of death), #11 Lelouch. Somewhere in between, we have Emile (Area 15 Viceroy), and Oscar (Area 13 Viceroy), who are only mentioned once, in a Sound Drama set several years before R1, and never mentioned again - but since they are Viceroys at that point, they must be older than Lelouch. There's Rolo vi Britannia, Lelouch's twin from Nightmare Of Nunnally, who obviously isn't canon. And finally, there's Castor and Pollux Rui Britannia, from the Code Geass DS game, also not canon. Which leaves anywhere between 5 missing brothers, or 3 if you include Castor and Pollux as being entirely possible to exist in canon.

Let's face it, the creators did poorly with that. They made Lelouch 11th Prince to coincide with Japan being Area 11, which is fine from a storytelling point of view, but they've left an unnatural gap and had no desire to fill it in.

For Princesses... There's #1 Guinevere (Age:??), #2 Cornelia (Age: 28), #3 Euphemia (Age 16 at time of death), and #5 Carline (Age:??). [Though I will admit that I have no idea where it mentions her as Fifth Princess. Probably Episode 12, but my copy isn't working.] Listing Nunnally as #11... Is fanon. She is never referred to as the Eleventh Princess, and is only given that number because of the fandom associating her with Lelouch. With Euphemia being only 2 years older than Nunnally, (Nunnally is 15 in R2) and Carline being roughly around the same age, there's a fair chance that Nunnally is actually #4.

That Nunnally would have 7 sisters all somewhere between 15 and 17 is maddening, especially when you see the large gaps in the ages of all their other siblings, particularly the 12 years between Cornelia and Euphemia. With Lelouch, at least there's 7 years between him and Clovis, letting them fit one brother per year. Which is still only possible if the Emperor doesn't believe in contraceptives, or he has at least one child for all 108 of his consorts.
