The Royal Family

In Britain the monarch is Head of the State, though he or she has little political power. In fact, the Queen and the Royal Family are important symbols of the nation, especially the Queen.

The previous Head of State in the United Kingdom was Her Majesty1 Queen Elizabeth II. When people address the monarch, they usually say "Your Majesty".

Queen Elizabeth II was born on the 21st of April, 1926. In 1947 the young Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip, the future Duke2 of Edinburgh. She came to the throne in 1952 after her father's death, and was crowned in Westminster Abbey. The Queen had four children — three sons and a daughter. Her elder son is Charles, now King Charles III, his son William, Prince of Wales, is the next person in the line to the throne.

They say the British Queen was the most respected member of the Royal Family. She worked hard. She gave her agreement to all laws which were made in Britain and had regular visits to foreign countries. The Queen was known for her interest in horses and horseracing3. She was also a lover of dogs, especially corgi ['kɔ:gɪ] dogs. The Royal residence in London is Buckingham Palace. The Queen was very rich, so are the other members of the Royal Family.

Once Great Britain was a powerful empire and had colonies all over the world. But during the 20th century lots of British colonies such as India, Pakistan and Ceylon got their independence. In 1949 Britain and its former colonies founded the Commonwealth of Nations4, which includes about 50 states. Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are among them.
