Royal Family

The parents of Queen Elizabeth II were King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (formerly Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon). When the King passed away, his daughter succeeded to the throne and became Elizabeth II in 1952. Her mother then stepped aside and became the Queen Mother. (Elizabeth I reigned in the 17th Century - The Queen Mother was NOT Elizabeth I.)

Lady Brilliana Harley had defended her castle to the highest degrade. Prior to the breakout of the English Civil War between Parliament and Charlles I and his Royal followers (Roundheads VS Cavaliers). She had drained the moat that surrounded her castle. When the Royalist Army led by Prince Rupert of the Rhine was on the move shw flooded the moat again. This would hold off an attack.

She then enslisted the help of her cooks,maids and buttlers as well as close members of the household to help her fight, every member knew how to fire one of the 50 musketeers that were around and approx. 10 people would assist in using the siege.

Lady Brilliana defended the castle from Royalists however she became ill in 1643 from a cold, that historians have believed to be from stress of defending her home. She died and three months later Royalists returned and sacked the castle. Killing maids and buttlers as well as Brillianas children.

Many members of the Royal Family have been masons over the years. Recently, the Queen's father, King George VI, and his brothers the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Windsor were all members of the order. The current Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England is the Duke of Kent, the Queen's first cousin.

Margaret died at King Edward VII Hospital, London on 9 February 2002

Since her divorce (and after she lost the style Her Royal Highness due to new letters patent being issued) her name is simply "Sarah, Duchess of York" She is neither a princess, nor a duchess, rather simply a wife a a divorced British duke. I suppose Mrs. Duchess of York would therefore be appropriate, as she has no other title. Your Royal Highness would be incorrect, as she does not have this style any longer. Your Grace (the style for the wife of a duke) is not longer appropriate, as she is no longer the wife of a duke. And, she was never a princess in her own right, but by marriage.

I suppose one could call her Duchess out of courtesy, but it is kind of like calling someone by their last name. She is not The Duchess of York any longer.

Yes. Once she married Prince William, she became an HRH and was given the royal title Duchess of Cambridge.

There were no Queens in English history called Anna, however there was 1 Queen Anne

Yes, but not as much as they once did. A formal ball (a very expensive dance, where everyone must dress elegantly), used to be one way that the royal family could socialize with influential and important elites in society. Being invited to such an event meant you were a person of high status, and probably a member of the upper class. But these days, we live in a less formal culture; plus many countries are going through austerity and holding expensive formal dances might be seen as extravagant. Thus, while state dinners and royal balls still do occur in countries that have a monarchy, there are a number of other ways for elites and royals to interact with each other.

She isn't a princess. She is Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. (It is likely, that at some stage Letters Patent will be issued making her a princess. Her husband, a Prince from birth, bears that rank still, so that he is Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.)

In conversation, or in correspondence, the correct form of address is 'Your Royal Highness' at the outset of the conversation/correspondence, subsequently 'Ma'am' (to rhyme with 'ham', not 'marm'). But, if you were presented to her, you would merely shake hands. It would be for her to decide whether or not to engage you in conversation. One of the biggest violations of Royal protocol would be to initiate conversation with a member of the Royal family. The same applies to touching them (apart from the handshake). Richard Branson found this to his cost. He had invited Princess Diana to inaugurate Virgin Atlantic, and, ever the showman, tried to put his arm round her for a photo-op. He was definitely and firmly given the cold-shoulder by the Princess who rapidly disengaged herself!

For real? Absolutely not.

It looks like you may be confusing Kate Middleton (now the Duchess of Cambridge) with Connor 'Cake' Middleton, the two-times Kansas 6A state wrestling champion, 2011/2012. Middleton beat fellow-finalist Cody Carson of Shawnee Mission North by a score of 3-1 in late February 2012 and is a man, whereas Duchess Catherine of Cambridge is almost certainly a woman.

The Royal Family's public role is to identify with every citizen, including minority and special interest groups. Because they need to stay completely neutral, it means they do not vote on any issue.

It is not specifically against the law for Royal princes or dukes to vote, but is necessary to preserve that neutrality.

In royal tradition, the bride is the only one who wears a wedding ring. Kinda sexist...

No, otherwise, she'd be the queen.

The British line of succession goes out to 1898 places, if all members of the British Royal Family (those living in the UK and known to the public as "the Royal family") The crown would pass to the King of Norway, the 68th person in the line of succession and first person living outside of the UK if all 1898 persons in the line were dead its likely the UK would become a Republic, though a member of the House of Lords might be elected by that body to the monarchy

no they didnt

Queen Victoria was known as the "Godmother of Europe" because every monarch in Europe was related to her through her children. Her children were carries of the disease hemophilia and as a result the heirs to the Russian and Spanish Royal Families contracted the disease severely hurting the two monarchies.

There is no reason why she should not. On the death of Elizabeth II - assuming no further alterations ( death or divorce) in the Royal House of Windsor- Charles III will be the King, and Camilla, his wife- Queen Consort ( consort means approximately Spouse) Queen Mary of ocean-liner fame was a Queen Consort. That is the spouse of a rulling King.

To show that she is in charge, not him.

At one time they were real but not any more.
