The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the international organization that governs the Olympics & Youth Olympics.  We have also noted if a royal is apart of their National Olympics Committee (NOC). 

Current IOC Members:
Members are appointed for a 8 year term (under current rules). After the 8 year term, members can be re-elected. There is a forced retirement at age 70 (Age 80 for members who joined before 1999).
