The royalty was not part of the Third Estate; rather, they belonged to the First Estate, which comprised the clergy. The Third Estate consisted of commoners, including peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie, who were largely excluded from political power and heavily taxed. The distinction between these estates was a fundamental aspect of the social hierarchy in pre-revolutionary France, leading to significant discontent and ultimately the French Revolution.
