Incorrect. The Royal Family know of the recent Inhuman outbreak. Revealing the existence of their city on the Moon is another matter.


* DramaticIrony: The entire series is pushed by the fight of the Inhuman royal family over whether or not to reveal themselves to humans, Black Bolt and others thinking it's better to stay hidden. What neither side is aware of is that Earth has known about Inhumans for years with new ones appearing constantly.
