For four season the royals one way or another the royals have been in the background, now in season 5 we are told they are on the backburner. Just like Juliette is dead That may as Juliette be so but they didn't say they were off the stove.
Season one we didn't know about the "ROYALS" just that a royal was in Portland so not much to really do with the "ROYALS". Then we got from Ian the insight on the 7 royals families and the verrat being behind what was happening around the world. This insight says they are trying to regain their power from say the 14 or 15 century that is my impression of the time frame of Europe royals.
In real history the Royals started having less and less power starting some time in the 1600 century and up to today.
I believe the Black Claw is being funded by the royals maybe not all but some of the families the one that comes to mind is Renard's. His family look from what we seen as having the most power inside the 7 families Now that the King is dead can't say that will hold true but appears likely. This BC group has to be funded maybe not the ones we are seeing now I think they are just cannon fodder made up of street gangs mostly but the top BC leader funds are from a royal family. The top level with the real plan hasn't been seen yet.
What would this gain the royals? They could come out with the truth (in Grimm) that they knew all about the wesen and had control over them until they lost their power. Now give the west the truth of the Crusades and everything else. Now with this complete the west under royal control and we would have another round of Crusades to take the east, this could be easier with the wesen BC groups in the east. Again we are back to why Grimms are important to Royals, can't have these BC class in the royal court can we. Now which way does Renard jump?
What do you think got a different opinion or a better one?
Jsgrimm45,
This is a very great and complete post.
I just think that the royals need some mechanism to control the BC. I think the royals are helping the BC, but they are also helping the HW... Or they must have some way to control the BC.
Just mixing real life situation with Grimm. If CIA, FBI and MI6 and others secret agents around the world are working together to HW... MI6 is from England. England is still ruled by a royal family. This way, MI6 can be one of the connections the royals are using to control / help the HW group.
Note 1: I know England is actually ruled by a primer minister. But this post serves as example for other ideas.
Note 2: probably the writers will not use it because they wouldn't want to refer real life royals. Again, this serves as example for other ideas.

But next to the council, I see them as the second most useless side story on Grimm. In thinking about it further, I'm not so sure it's their fault. They're not likeable, they're a-holes with royal blood. They have no rule, the way I understand it. Either they lost that or it was taken away from them and they want it back. They wanted Diana and they wanted Juliette, but not for good purposes it seems.
Side questiosn here, why do you suppose Grimm would make them so detestable? Are these guys going to end up the villains in this uprising? Providing they're not all murdered off first.
I actually don't see the royals funding the black claw. I think they're way too self-centered. Plus, they haven't been known as a friend to the wesen unless it's to better their purpose. I would have thought that wesen would have finished them off long ago. The only thing I can think of that might be saving them is that these royals have some kind of talisman (for lack of a better word) that prevents wesen from taking action.
I've been reading the Knights of Malta thread, along with the comments mentioning the Crusades and the Knights Templar. Very interesting threads and topics. It's a given that the Grimms would be involved in this. I'm not sure if it's been suggested, but maybe the royals were involved as well.
Irukandji, I think the point about the royals helping the BC is not because the royals agree with them or want to help them.
I think the royals would be helping them as a way to create troubles in the society... Them they can try to justify their return to the world power.
