In the film, Royal Tenebaum and his wife had 3 genius children, two boys and one adopted girl. Their names were: Chas, Richie and Margot. Royal was a very strange and bad father from my point of view. He didn’t really understand what he had to do as a father. He hurt his children’s feelings very often.

Margot became a smoker since 12 and she married a man she never loved. Chas went from an incredible child genius to a scaremonger. He was really concerned about his children’s safety after his wife’s death. Royal missed the most difficult and important time for his
