King (pop band)
English dance-pop band
King (stylised KING) are an English pop/hip hop quartet, started in 1997. The band consisted originally of five siblings, Trillion, Queenie, Jazzy, Ruby, and Lucius. In November 2013, Jazzy and Ruby left the quintet to form their own band Blonde Electra and their younger sister Jemima joined the group.
History
The three eldest siblings were born in India and the two younger ones in Ukraine. All were home-schooled by their father, Michael Jaffray King (British) and mother, Irmgard King (German). They were raised in over 30 countries throughout the world. Due to being born in different countries and having parents from two countries, all siblings have dual citizenship. They are fluent in four languages.
They have two younger sisters, Jemima and Michelle King, who currently reside in Cologne, Germany with their parents.
Marieangela "Queenie" King married, on 1 December 2013, musician and artist Elijah Blue Allman, the son of Cher and Gregg Allman and frontman of Deadsy.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 11, 2026.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
