OK, I'm assuming that since "There are other members of the royal family, they just haven't been relevant yet" is given in response to my arguing that there must be a mistake in Alonon's age because there don't appear to be any other living descendants of Alonon's other siblings, that the other members of the royal family alluded to must be those missing descendants of siblings of Alonon who are or were older than Tyna's mom. But although that would mean they are before Tyna in the very clearly defined succession laws used by modern Britain, we still don't know Ardan laws of succession are (if any). One genuine possibility remaining is that Tyna is Alonon's closest relation by "proximity of blood" as she is a full niece, whereas the candidates with the valid claim by agnatic or male preference primogeniture or agnatic seniority are the sons or grandsons of older nieces and nephews who are now dead. A more horrifying, but viable, possibility is that the clear heir is child of a daughter of the oldest younger brother of Alonon who was captured and raped by the Arsehole in the war.

I'll edit the note so that it says descendants of Alonon's other siblings who were older than Tyna's mother. (Note also that the question of whether Alonon has any living brothers is asked as a follow-up to the linked post.)
