Meet Every Single Member of the British Royal Family
With news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement and wedding, along with Duchess Kate Middleton and Prince William welcoming their third child, the British royal family has dominated the media in 2017 and 2018. The most talked-about royals have had their share of scandals throughout the years with addictions, divorce, and extramarital affairs, but these days, the Queen of England and her clan have locked down the regal living and the public’s admiration.
From Queen Elizabeth II’s 96-year old husband, Prince Philip, to Prince Charles’ younger sister, Princess Anne, meet every single member of the British royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II
In 1952, when she was just 25 years old, Queen Elizabeth II became the Queen of England. This was never supposed to be in the cards for the long-ruling monarch. She got her crown after he father, King George VI, passed away, but he only became King after his elder brother King Edward VIII, abdicated the crown in 1936.
Queen Elizabeth has ruled for nearly 70 years, and though she has had some rough patches, she has sought to make the crown more modern and hip with the times. She has been married to her husband Prince Philip since 1947, and they have four children together. Her eldest son, Prince Charles, will probably step in to become king in the coming years.
A gorgeous account of Queen Elizabeth’s early years can be seen on the hit Netflix series, The Crown.
