family and became famous in 1923 when she married

Prince albert, Duke of York — the second son of king George V and Mary of Teck. Spouses and their daughters became the embodiment of traditional ideas about the family and public service. Elizabeth made a number of public appearances and became known as the"smiling Duchess". In 1936, after the abdication of king Edward VIII, her husband suddenly became king. Elizabeth assumed the duties of Queen: for example, she accompanied her husband on a diplomatic tour in France and North America before the outbreak of the Second world war. During the war, her indomitable spirit provided moral support to the British public. In recognition of her role as a defender of British interests, Adolf Hitler called her " the most dangerous woman in Europe." After the war, her husband's health deteriorated, and Elizabeth was widowed at the age of 51. Her eldest daughter Elizabeth became the new Queen.
 
With the death of Queen Mary in 1953, Elizabeth became the senior representative of the British Royal family and took the position of matriarch in the family. In her later years, the Queen mother remained consistently popular with the people. She ceased to lead an active public life a few months before the death of her youngest daughter in February 2002. Elizabeth herself died at the age of 101 seven weeks after the death of Princess Margaret.
The British royal family comprises Queen Elizabeth II and her close relations. There is no strict legal or formal definition of who is or is not a member of the British royal family.
Those who at the time are entitled to the style His or Her Royal Highness (HRH), and any styled His or Her Majesty (HM), are normally considered members, including those so styled before the beginning of the current monarch's reign. By this criterion, a list of the current royal family will usually include the monarch, the children and male-line grandchildren of the monarch and previous monarchs, the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, and all of their current or widowed spouses.
Some members of the royal family have official residences named as the places from which announcements are made in the Court Circular about official engagements they have carried out. The state duties and staff of some members of the royal family are funded from a parliamentary annuity, the amount of which is fully refunded by the Queen to the Treasury.
Since 1917, when King George V changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, members of the royal family have belonged, either by birth or by marriage, to the House of Windsor. Senior titled members of the royal family do not usually use a surname, although since 1960 Mountbatten-Windsor, incorporating Prince Philip's adopted surname of Mountbatten, has been prescribed as a surname for Elizabeth II's direct descendants who do not have royal styles and titles, and it has sometimes been used when required for those who do have such titles. The royal family are regarded as British cultural icons, with young adults from abroad naming the family among a group of people that they most associated with

four children:
 
Charles
Anna
Andrew
Edward
Interestingly, all of them, except Charles, married untitled

persons. But the most scandalous of all was, of course, Charles's marriage to Diana, his subsequent divorce, his marriage to Camilla Parker-Bowles. By all canons, Camilla after the wedding should become the Princess of Wales, but because of the memory of Princess Diana, this title is not used, Camilla is content with the title of Duchess of Cornwall
However, the younger brother Andrew is not very far behind Charles, marrying Diana's friend Sarah Ferguson, and also noted in the scandals.
Edward took to wife a employee of his own company, here are the consequences of office romances, you can marry a Prince)) Princess Anna married the Royal guards. At the time, the parents of Elizabeth were against her marriage with Philip, although he comes from the Royal family.

of them received more and Ducal titles. Their wives also became duchesses. Princess Anne's children have no titles, they bear the name of their father, captain Mark Phillips of the guard. They are Peter Phillips, the Queen's first grandson (born 1977) and the popular Zara Phillips, the eldest granddaughter (born 1981). They are not Dukes or counts, live and work, sometimes take part in official events. Andrew holds the title of Duke of York. What is most interesting is his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, even after the divorce was left by the Duchess of York. They have two daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie. The younger Eugenia just got married the other day. Both are princesses of York. But their children will not be princes and princesses
Edward was only the Earl of Wessex, not a Duke, but a Prince. His wife is a Countess. And with children the situation is more interesting. The eldest daughter is named Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, after Edward himself, formed from the surnames of his parents Philip and Elizabeth. Younger son James Mountbatten-Windsor holds the title of Viscount Severn
In total the Queen has eight grandchildren in order of seniority:
Peter Phillips
Zara Phillips
Prince William
Prince Harry
Princess Beatrice

August 1930 in Glamis castle, Scotland. She was the

youngest daughter of George VI and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The Princess was christened in the chapel of Buckingham Palace. Her godfather was her father's older brother, the future Edward VIII, and her godmother was Ingrid, née Princess of Sweden, Queen of Denmark a few years later. In 1936, her uncle Edward VIII abdicated and Margaret's father became king. Throughout her childhood, she was raised with her sister and her mentors. During the Second world war, Margaret remains at Windsor Palace despite numerous bombings of London.
 
In 1953, Princess Margaret met captain Peter Townsend. He was not a nobleman, but he was a member of the Royal air force and was therefore admitted to Buckingham Palace and the Royal family circle. But he was divorced and had children, which made the project of marrying Princess Margaret impossible: the Church of England and Royal tradition forbid marriage to a divorced man. To marry a captain, Princess Margaret would have to, according to the rules of the Royal court, reach the age of 25, renounce her Royal title and the costs of her maintenance. After an affair lasting several years, Margaret publicly announced her separation from Peter "due to duties towards her country".
On 6 may 1960, the Princess married Anthony Armstrong-Jones (1930-2017), a photographer, descendant of a minor Welsh noble family, who received the title of Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley.
 
Two children were born in this marriage:
David Armstrong-Jones (born 3 November 1961) is Viscount Linley, 2nd Earl of Snowdon since 2017.
Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones (born 1 may 1964).
In 1978, the Earl and Countess of Snowdon divorced over Princess Margaret's affair with baronet Roddy Llewelyn.
In 2002, Margaret died of a stroke. A granddaughter born three months later, the daughter of David Armstrong-Jones, was named in her honor. [1]
In 2005, a film about the life of the Princess "Princess Margaret, a Love Story" was released, based on many compromising her

Elizabeth II circle of close people is very narrow. We were talking recently about Countess Sophie, the Queen's favourite daughter - in-law. But in addition to the non-comedic Sophie, the Queen has another close friend - her niece lady Sarah, daughter of Princess Margaret.
Full name-Sarah Frances Elizabeth Armstrong-Jones, was born 1 on may 1964 in Kensington Palace, London. Sarah's parents are Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II and Anthony Armstrong-Jones, first Lord Snowdon. Sarah's parents subsequently divorced. Her father Anthony remarried and in the marriage he had another daughter Frances.
 
Sarah also has an older brother, David Armstrong-Jones. Sarah is ranked 21st in the order of succession to the British throne and is the only niece of Queen Elizabeth II.
Despite the fact that Sarah is a member of the Royal family of great Britain, she prefers not to fall into the field of view of cameras and journalists. It was only thanks to a BBC documentary released in 2016 that viewers and fans of the Royal family saw how close Sarah and Elizabeth II were.
Sarah is close not only to the Queen but also to her son Prince Charles. It's worth noting that Sarah was one of the bridesmaids at her cousin's wedding to Diana Spencer. Charles and Sarah like to spend time together when the opportunity arises. They often paint together at Balmoral (we talked about how one of Prince Charles's Hobbies is drawing). Sarah is also godmother to Prince Harry and the Duke of Gloucester's daughter rose.
Sarah was educated at Bedales boarding school, which is in Hampshire. There she studied art, which became the main passion of her life. After leaving school, Sarah worked as a style assistant in the film Heat and dust. It was while working on the film that she met her future husband Daniel Chat, who played a small role in the said film. Sarah also graduated from Middlesex University and is a professional artist.

The bride beamed with happiness in a dress by British designer Jasper Conran. Sarah wore a floral tiara by Wartski jewelry. It was made from three flower brooches belonging to Princess Margaret
