Royals who aren't royalty is a tired, old fandom "debate" and everyone and their mother has pretty much already concluded that Royals is an opinion and royalty is a class. Same with Rebels, and all other alignments.

But in regards to tragic destinies, I think as long as it's well-explained and makes sense, do whatever works.

Some tragic destinies are Royals because family expectations. Some, because a tragic destiny might be better than no destiny in the first place. Others, whatever they gain from destiny might be worthy enough to sacrifice their life for it.

Out of my own OCs, I genuinely think Ramsey Baartholomew's opinion on destiny is one of my favourites. Read the section on his page, hopefully it makes sense. Orleans le Nouveau holds a similar opinion, though not as eloquent as Ramsey's.
