It has no official status and entails no special privileges, but has been established in practical use, e.g. determining seating arrangements at formal occasions in the royal house.

The order of precedence is very elaborate, and especially the lower classes include many relatively obscure civil servant positions; the following is only an excerpt.

Members of the royal family are not part of the official order of precedence, but are traditionally placed on top of the hierarchy.

Their order is as follows: When the King is out of the country or otherwise unable to perform his duties, the heir apparent becomes regent.
