When infidelity, early death, suicide, or murder strike a royal family, they are not just tragedies, they can be national or even global catastrophes. And when repeated calamities strike a dynasty generation after generation, legends of long ago curses are bound to be unearthed. From a witch poisoning the love lives of 800 years of Princes, to supernatural ravens forewarning early deaths. From a grief-striken mother cursing a young emperor to a life of tragic losses, to spilled milk dooming a dynasty to a massacre after 10 generations. Let’s explore 4 royal curses from history which actually seem to have come true.

1. The Princes of Monaco, Cursed in Marriage

2. The Habsburgs, Curse of the Ravens

3. Emperor Franz Joseph, Karolyi Curse

4. The Shahs of Nepal, Cursed for 10 Generations
