Who is in the British Royal Family and how does it operate?

Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh), husband of Queen Elizabeth II of England, passed away at the age of 99.

Prince Philip spent 73 years with the Queen. He is the spouse of the ruler of the longest performing royal affairs in British history.

Who is in the British Royal Family?

Upon the death of his father, George VI, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1952. He is a nominal monarch of 16 countries, including England. It is also the oldest reigning king in England.

There are 4 children, 8 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren between Prince Philip and the queen.

The next successor to the throne, the eldest son, Prince Charles, was born in 1948. Princess Anne was born in 1950, Prince Andrew in 1960, and Prince Edward in 1964.

Prince Charles has two sons between the late Diana. There is the eldest son, Prince William, and the second son, Prince Harry.

Prince Harry and his wife settled in Los Angeles, California, USA, after proclaiming their independence from the British royal family last year.

When you marry a royal family member, you become a member of the royal family. They receive the title at the same time they are married.

Diana Spencer, for example, was given the title of’Princess of Wales’ when she married Prince Charles in 1981.

However, to be the subject of succession to the throne, you must be born in a royal family.

At present, the first place in the throne is Prince Charles, the second place is the eldest son, William, and the third place is the eldest son, George Wang.

The official name of the British government is Her Majesty’s Government. However, there is little intervention by the British royal family in real politics.

The Queen speaks with the Prime Minister once a week. The Prime Minister shares the policy matters with the Queen, but it does not require his permission in the direction of policy.

The queen and members of the royal family fulfill their public duties. For example, a tour of the Commonwealth countries.

You can also sponsor a charitable organization and start your own charity. Philip, who was very interested in youth welfare in England, founded the’Duke of Edinburgh Award’.

Most of the royal men, as well as the queen, served in the military. Prince William served and discharged the British Air Force, and Prince Harry also served in the military.

Prince Harry and his wife declared that they would withdraw from high-ranking royal positions in January 2020. The couple announced that they would start living financially independent in the future.

In February 2021, Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the couple “confirmed that they would not return to the royal family on duty to the queen.”

Accordingly, all of the military honorary positions held by Prince Harry and Princess Markle and their royal support are returned to the Queen and then distributed to other members of the royal family who are active.

In 2019, the Queen’s second son, Prince Andrew, announced that he would take responsibility for allegations of “sex entertainment” raised against him and resign from all public offices.

Royal grants are money provided by the British Treasury to help the royal family perform their official duties and care for the royal palace. This year’s grants totaled £85.9 million.

The British government oversees the commercial land and real estate income of The Crown Estate, a royal estate management foundation, and returns a portion of it to the royal family as royal grants.

Buckingham Palace in London is the Queen’s official office and residence.

However, the Queen has been staying in Windsor Castle in Berkshire since last year, fearing the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Prince Philip died in Windsor Castle.

Prince Charles and Duchess of Camilla live in Clarence House when in London, while Prince William and Kate live in Kensington Palace, near here.
