The Royal Family tree
 Queen Elizabeth II
Elizabeth II, in full Elizabeth Alexandra
Mary, officially Elizabeth II, (born April 21,
1926, London, England), queen of
the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland from February
6, 1952. In 2015 she surpassed Victoria to
become the longest-reigning monarch in
British history.
Elizabeth was the elder daughter of
Prince Albert, duke of York, and his wife,
Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. As the child of
a younger son of King George V, the young
Elizabeth had little prospect of acceding to
the throne until her uncle, Edward
VIII (afterward duke of
Windsor), abdicated in her father’s favour
on December 11, 1936, at which time her
father became King George VI and she
became heir presumptive. The princess’s
education was supervised by her mother,
who entrusted her daughters to a
governess, Marion Crawford.
 Charles Prince of Wales
Charles, prince of Wales, (born November 14,
1948, Buckingham Palace, London, England), his
apparent to the British throne, eldest child of
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh.
After private schooling at Buckingham Palace and in
London, Hampshire, and Scotland, Charles entered
Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1967. He took a
bachelor’s degree there in 1971, the first ever earned
by an succeser to the British crown. He also spent a
term at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth,
learning Welsh in preparation for his investiture
as prince of Wales on July 1, 1969, at Caernarvon
Castle.
On July 29, 1981, Charles married Lady Diana Frances
Spencer (see Diana, princess of Wales), daughter of the
8th Earl Spencer; the royal wedding was a global media
event, broadcast live on television and watched by
hundreds of millions of people. The couple’s first
child, Prince William of Wales, became at his birth (June
21, 1982) second in line of succession to the throne.
Their second child, Prince Henry Charles Albert
David (known as Harry), was born on September 15,
1984.
 William Duke of Cambrige

The Duke of Cambridge (Prince William) is the

second in line to the throne and the elder son of
The Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of
Wales. His Royal Highness is married to The
Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, with whom he
has three children, Prince George, Princess
Charlotte and Prince Louis. The family's official
residence is Kensington Palace. His Royal
Highness undertakes a number of charitable
activities and projects and carries out public and
official duties in support of The Queen, in the UK
and overseas.
Conservation work and supporting communities
to protect their natural environment for future
generations has been one of The Duke's key
priorities for a number of years. His Royal
Highness has publicly supported initiatives to
fund conservation, community development and
environmental education programmes across
Africa as Royal Patron of the Tusk Trust, in a bid
to highlight the inspiring conservation work that
is being undertaken to a global audience.
 Prince George of Cambrige
Prince George of Cambridge is third in line to the
British throne, after his father, Prince William, and
grandfather, Prince Charles. He was born on July 22,
2013 to Prince William and Kate Middleton in the
same hospital where Prince William and his brother
Prince Harry were born. His birth was a major event
in the British history that brought in a lot of
speculation and media attention. The ‘Prince George
Effect’, also known as the ‘Royal Baby Effect’,
popularized clothing and other artifacts associated
with him. For the first time in history, a royal birth
was marked by the issue of commemorative coins.
During his christening, for the second time in British
history, four generations of the Royal family, who
were in line for the throne, were present (Prince
George, Prince William, Prince Charles and Queen
Elizabeth). Though he is destined to be the King, his
parents want him to be brought up as a normal child.
He is doing his primary schooling at the private
Thomas’s School in Battersea, away from the
paparazzi as far as possible. His official title is ‘His
Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge’, taken
from his father’s title ‘Duke of Cambridge’. As per
royal linage, he is destined to eventually reign as King
George VII of the United Kingdom.
