Thank you for asking me questions!!! (Sorry this took an extremely long time to answer)

[duchessofostergotlands]

Hello duchess! I’m new to royal watch and I just found out that queen Margareth of Denmark sister is also a queen! Is royals marrying other royals common nowadays or do you think we won’t see royals marrying royals for a long time now?

My name's Jessica :) It is not as common as it used to be. Most of the inter-royal marriages are amongst those who are over 60 or they're deposed royals whose titles don't mean anything (you regularly see the pretender to some tiny German throne marrying the pretender to a throne of an Eastern European nation that doesn't exist anymore etc). Some examples (not an exhaustive list before people start with the THIS PERSON IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE nonsense):

Anne Marie is Queen Margrethe of Denmark's sister and married King Constantine of Greece.

Constantine's sister Sofia married King Juan Carlos of Spain

Princess Caroline of Monaco is still legally married to Prince Ernst August of Hanover (they live apart).

Princess Haya of Jordan - half sister of the King of Jordan - recently divorced Sheih Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum who is the Ruler of Dubai

Princess Margaretha is the sister of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and is married to the brother of Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein

Lots of royals married into German or Austrian houses including Princess Birgitta who is the sister of the King of Sweden, Princess Astrid who is the sister of the King of Belgium, Margrethe and Sofia's other sister Princess Benedikte, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg's other sister Marie-Astrid etc, Prince Alois of Liechtenstein who is the heir and married a Bavarian royal.

It's not the case that royals all got some sort of memo saying they couldn't marry each other any more. It was just a natural thing. They no longer had to marry each other because countries didn't forge political alliances that way anymore. They had all been fighting each other during the wars so it was safer to marry someone from your own country. And then over time they started to go to ordinary schools or go to university with normal people or go clubbing and societal attitudes shifted and so they met different kinds of people than their ancestors would have met. So I don't think for a second that William and Kate or Victoria and Daniel are whispering into their kids' ears at night trying to convince them not to marry a royal, but whereas their ancestors might have had a pool of 10 eligible candidates to draw from because they only went to debutante balls and hunting trips with other royals, now they have access to essentially an unlimited number of people and so the probability has dropped that it will be another member of this comparatively small social class

Chantal Hochuli & Prince Ernst August of Hanover

[inky-duchess]

what if two modern day royals were to get married today and they both were from reigning kingdoms, where would their children fall under?

Usually the husband's. For example, Princess Charlotte of Monaco married Prince Ernst August of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick (head of the defunct Hanoverian line). She's known as Princess Charlotte of Hanover.
