The term "imperial family" more appropriately describes the extended family of an emperor or empress regnant, while the terms "ducal family", "grand ducal family" or "princely family" are more appropriate in reference to the relatives of a reigning duke, grand duke, or prince.
A royal family typically includes the spouse of the reigning monarch, any or all surviving spouses of a deceased monarch, the children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and cousins of the reigning monarch, as well as their spouses.
The best-known example of this is the Kennedy family in the U.S. and the descendents of the Gurjara-Pratiharas clans or "Rajputs" in India.
