Nope, they wouldn't because, in this scenario, every possible step had been taken to hide it. That would be incredibly hard to do considering that there would still be people alive from eighty years ago knowing about them. And then there would be people asking what happened to the royal family in history classes.

The royal family's name would have been changed in this scenario, remember? They probably would have been out of Vale more often than there (hence Jaune's family holidays in Anima). All part of a deliberate attempt to prevent them from even inadvertently undermining the Council.

"What happened to the Royal Family, Professor?"

"After the ending of the monarchy, the family slipped into obscurity and a self-imposed exile, possibly on Vytal; no-one knows for sure. All records of them end at the time of the King's abdication and no-one of their name was ever recorded again in any of the Four Kingdoms. Now, they're almost a myth and few can reliably even describe what the last king and his heirs looked like."
