Re reading your question I notice that it says British.
That complicates it a bit as Britain as we know it did not exist in Edward IV's day.
It could mean a Royal from a country that is now British but I rather suspect it's been put in to exclude anyone from before the act of union and hence Edward.
Incidently Elizabeth Woodville was a co-founder of Queens college Cambridge and they class her as a commoner (although they say "a very uncommon commoner")

Hi again Jake,
I have to apologise, I was the annoying person that added the British part to the question as I thought people would include other countries with Royal families, when I know the people that set the questions intended the answer to be from the British Royal family. (although they didn't state it!)
Sorry!!!
