RH negative is not very rare, and it is a blood grouping system not a type. Whether your blood is Rh or not depends on the D-antigen in your blood. Rh is the second most important blood grouping system after ABO.

Why is Rh negative blood so rare in the human population?

Rh negative blood is rare in the human population because it is a genetic trait that is not as common as Rh positive blood. The Rh factor is inherited from our parents, and the gene for Rh negative blood is less prevalent in the general population. This makes Rh negative blood less common compared to Rh positive blood.

What is the blood type which is considered 'royal?

Anybody can possess the Rh O-Negative, alias the 'Royal Blood', as it is not restricted to royalties.The royal blood is a specific blood group. It is the Rh O-Negative. It is a very rare group. So rare that when it was discovered to be running in the veins of a royal family and their descendants, it was named the 'Royal Blood'. Anybody can possess the Rh O-Negative, alias the 'Royal Blood', as it is not restricted to royalties.The Rh O-Negative is a Universal Donor, i.e. someone possessing this blood group can donate his/her blood to anyone, irrespective of their blood groups. This is a sort of blessing, as you can save anybody. The big problem with it is that the Rh O-Negative recipient can only receive blood of Rh O-Neg type which is, as I said before, very rare.

What type of blood would you have if both your parents have RH blood type?

Rh is not a blood type by itself but is just one part of what makes up a blood type. There are two parts to blood typing: the ABO aspect and the Rh factor. One has blood type A, B, AB, or O, AND then is either Rh positive, or Rh negative. Hence why you hear blood types like A positive, O negative, etc. The positive/ negative is referring to the Rh factor. Rh positive is dominant, so one only needs one Rh positive parent so be Rh positive. Rh negative is recessive. If both parents are Rh negative, the child they have must be Rh negative as well. To know what blood type you could be, you need to know your parents' entire blood type.
