The British Royal Family
The British Royal Family
Most ppl heard of them, maybe seen them – but very few know what they do
The current royal family is members of the house of Windsor
Buckingham palace is official residence
Hard to tell who actually is a member of the royal family
HM (His or Her Majesty) HRH (His or Her Royal Highness)
The closest relatives to the monarch (king or queen)
These ppl are always included though
*show OH*
Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II – ruled since 1952 over the Commonwealth Realms.
A Commonwealth Realm is one of the 16 countries in the Commonwealth of Nations. Elizabeth II is Queen in all these 16 countries.
*show OH*
Over 128 million ppl call her their Queen.
She was born 21 April 1926 (80 years old)
Married to Prince Philip since 1947. Prior he was Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark. Today 85 years old.
*show OH*
They have 3 children: Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and their first born, Prince Charles.

Prince Charles is the heir to the throne. Seen with his current wife Dutchess Camilla of Cornwall – she is Princess of Wales but the title is to closely connected with Charles first wife.
The late Princess Diana of Wales, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Public doesn’t want the title on Camilla. She is the mother to the two boys:
Prince William 24 years old and Prince Harry(Henry) 22 years old, often seen in situations the royal family doesn’t want him to be seen in. Such as: Fancy dress-party, nazi-symbols
Technically the monarch (the queen) still holds all executive power – she is the one that must nominate the head of government (Prime Minister) that the parliament then agrees upon.
When a new law is suggested the monarch have to sign it before it is accepted, though no monarch has refused to sign since 1708
The monarch has extensive powers, but the role is mainly ceremonial
I think that’s all I wanted to say: Thank you, and God Save the Queen
