How many people were in queen elizabeths army?

Answer 1

First, define 'family'. Would family only refer to her husband and their offspring? Or would you include inlaws, grandchildren, parents, siblings, cousins and so forth?

Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdoms and other Commonwealth Realms

is the child of George VI and his wife Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, commonly refered to as the Queen Mother.

She had a sister, now dead, the Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. George VI had several siblings, and the Princess Margaret had two chldren, who in turn have children of their own, creating cousins as well as both (grand-)nephews and neices.

However, this is a list of the very nearest family

HM King George VI (Father, Dead) and

HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (Mother, Dead)

HM The Queen (Elizabeth II) and

HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh (Husband)

HRH Princess Margaret, The Countess of Snowdon (Sister, Dead) and

Sir Anthony Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon

HRH Charles, The Prince of Wales (Son) and

HRH Camilla, The Countess of Cornwall

HRH Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge (Grandson) and

HRH Catherine(Kate), The Duchess of Cambridge

HRH Prince George of Cambridge (Great Grandson)

HRH Prince Harry of Wales (Grandson)

HRH Prince Andrew, The Duke of York(Son)

HRH Princess Beatrice of York(Granddaughter)

HRH Princess Eugenie of York(Granddaughter)

HRH Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex (Son) and

HRH Sophie, The Countess of Wessex

James, Viscount Severn (Grandson)

Lady Louise Windsor (Granddaughter)

HRH Anne, The Princess Royal(Daughter) and

Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence

Peter Phillips (Grandson) and

Autumn Phillips

Savannah Phillips (Great Granddaughter)

Isla Phillips (Great Granddaughter)

Zara Tindall, née Phillips (Granddaughter) and

Michael Tindall

Direct blood relatives are in bold, in this list, and the list is in order of Succession, with the exception of Princess Margaret, who would be placed under Zara Tindall if it were a 'true' list.

Note that this is a very small list of the nearest relatives and direct decendants, with spouses, and no-where near the enormous list one could make it. The line of succession to the British throne, which requires relation by blood and thus could be said to be 'family', runs in the thousands of persons.
