ⓘ How this study was doneLast reviewed June 24, 2026

We took everyone in our records whose primary field is Royalty, with a verified birth date. For each Life Path we computed its share among royals and divided by its share among all famous people to get a "lift" figure. Many historical monarchs have approximate or contested birth dates, so treat the finer detail as indicative. Placeholder (January 1) dates are excluded.
