The British Royal Family

The British Royal Family is the family group of close relatives of the monarch of the United Kingdom. There is no strict legal or formal definition in the UK of who is or is not a member of the Royal Family, and different lists will include different people. However, Reviews those carrying the style His or Her Majesty (HM), or Her or His Royal Highness (HRH) are normally Considered members.

Nowadays, the United Kingdom is lead by the Queen. The Queen is supported in her official duties by other working members of the Royal Family who carry out a wide range of public engagements. In this article, I will explain overall about The Royal Family and all around it.

• About The Queen Elizabeth II

The Queen full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Declared in Council 9 April 1952 that she and her children would be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor and February 8, 1960 that her Descendants Reviews those of other than enjoying the style, title or attribute of Royal Highness and the titular dignity of Prince or Princess and female marry and Their Descendants Descendants WHO should bear the name Mountbatten-Windsor, though this declaration overridden when Lady Louise Windsor was born in 2003.

• Family Tree of Members

• Who will be the next King or Queen ?

Prince Charles is presently heir (next in line) to the British Throne. He will not become King until his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, abdicates (gives up the throne), retires, or dies. When either of these happen, Prince Charles may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest son Prince William. 

The heir to the throne is always called the Prince of Wales. The tittle was introduce by King Edward I in 1301, after the conquest of Wales.

• If the Eldest child of monarch is female, will she become heir to the throne ?

Yes, if she does not have any brothers.

No, if she has a brother.

In Britain, the crown was normally passed from monarch to eldest son. As King George VI has no son, it passed to his eldest daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II.

If a monarch had sons, they took precedence over daughter. Thus, although HR The Princess Royal is older than her brothers HRH The Duke of York and HRH The Earl of Wessex, they (and their children) precede her in the order of succession.

From 2013, this all changes. Now the oldest child inherit the throne regardless of being a daughter or a son. This means that if William and Kate had had a daughter she would have inherited the throne even if she had a younger brother. Apparently Kate Middleton gave birth to a son, Prince George Alexander Louis, so that he who is third in line to the British throne heir.

• The Current Royal Line of succession

• Four generations: Queen Elizabeth II, The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince George of Cambridge, 2013.
