Sort of like Spock and Sarek, and maybe Worf and his family?
(Though royal succession wasn't involved there, I guess...)

You'll then have to neglect the animated ST series that had Lt. M'Ress (sp?)
a feline furry who filled in for Uhura for a while... And I'm not sure I
agree with assessing Sally II as "non-humanoid" - that seems a bit
restrictive, given the other races that _have_ been classified as humanoid...

Interesting concept (though a depressing one) about "furry" as a slur -
I don't remember the fan-fic "Brynne" (which dealt with a future society
where genetic technology allowed humans to give their children animal
characterstics) posted on alt.fan.furry a while ago as going too deeply
into this, but it may have mentioned it in passing. (I could e-mail it to
anybody who wanted it - I'd rate it PG-13 for a non-graphic sex scene, and
a slightly more graphic violence scene.)
