Is there a historical reason why the Royal Family aren't included in Orders of Precedence in Commonwealth Realms

For example, Jamaica's Order of Precedence, Canada's Order of Precedence, and other Commonwealth Realm's orders don't list any of their royal families apart from the King. Is there an historical reason why?

I can understand not including the full Royal Family because just looking at the English/Welsh Order of Precedence makes my head hurt, but it seems strange not to include even the heir to the throne of the countries. 2407:4D00:3C00:7E66:F965:B06A:419D:A977 (talk) 04:27, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Monarchy of Jamaica says "However, the monarch is the only member of the royal family with any constitutional role." AnonMoos (talk) 09:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction, that office was combined into that of Governor, but there is now a Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction. However, I am finding very little information about this office. Who is the current office-holder, and what is the salary? Luke10.27 (talk) 22:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if ballotpedia is reliable, but they say it's Charlene Williams and $174,900. --Onorem (talk) 22:06, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Ballotpedia is reliable enough for my use. Luke10.27 (talk) 22:08, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
