Queen Elizabeth II

April 21, 1926 - September 8, 2022

When Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born, she was not a direct heir to the throne since her father was the second son of King George V. But after her grandfather died and her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated -- both within the same year -- Elizabeth’s father became King George VI. The move made the young princess, who was just 10 years old, the next in line.

From this moment on, her life changed as she began training to be the next monarch.

Elizabeth married Prince Philip a couple of years after World War II ended and he had returned from serving overseas in the navy in 1947. Soon after, they had their first two children, Charles and Anne.

On February 6, 1952, at age 25, Elizabeth acceded to the throne. After eight years as queen, she had her third child, Andrew, and in 1964 her last son, Edward.

From an early age, Elizabeth understood the power of media and harnessed it to great effect throughout her reign. At her coronation in 1953, she requested cameras be allowed into Westminster Abbey to televise the event for the first time. She would go on to permit cameras at her daily engagements, allow unprecedented access to her private life in the 1969 BBC documentary “Royal Family,” and even dipped her toe into social media when she joined Twitter in 2014.

As queen, she was served by 15 UK prime ministers, met 12 serving US presidents ,countless heads of state and visited over 120 countries.

In 2022, she celebrated her platinum jubilee — which marked an incredible 70 years on the throne — and three months later she died of old age in Balmoral, Scotland, at age 96. She was laid to rest alongside her husband of 73 years at Windsor Castle.

Prince Philip

June 10, 1921 - April 9, 2021

Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark was born in Corfu, Greece, as the youngest of five children. His father was Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, was Queen Victoria’s great-granddaughter. This connection made Philip and Queen Elizabeth II third cousins.

Philip first met Elizabeth when she was a princess; they married a little over four years before she became monarch, in 1947. He renounced his former royal title and in 1957 became His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Philip had joined the Royal Navy at 18 and continued in active duty throughout World War II, only stepping down in 1951 as his wife became busier with royal duties. The duke took an active, public-facing role, accompanying the queen on royal tours and even presenting television programs.

A keen environmentalist, Philip wrote a number of books on the environment and other subjects and was president of the World Wildlife Fund for decades. As a sportsman, he had a successful polo career spanning 20 years. He was also skilled in the sport of horse carriage driving and learned to fly aircraft, racking up almost 6,000 hours in the air.

The queen and Philip’s marriage lasted for 73 years until his death at age 99, making him the longest-serving royal consort in British history.

King Charles III

November 14, 1948

Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor acceded to the throne as King Charles III on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on September 8, 2022. He was officially crowned in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023. As the Prince of Wales, he was heir apparent since the age of 3, making him the longest serving British monarch-in-waiting.

Charles attended Cambridge University and studied archaeology and anthropology in his first year, then history. He has bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

As his father did before him, Charles embarked on a naval career from 1971 to 1976, where he qualified as a helicopter pilot.

He married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, with whom he had two children, William and Harry. Charles and Diana divorced 15 years later. Toward the end of their marriage, he admitted to an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. Camilla and Charles have been married since 2005.

As prince, Charles established over 20 charities and was president or patron of hundreds more involving issues as diverse as helping disadvantaged young people to supporting Britain’s rural farming communities.

A longstanding advocate for the environment, Charles first spoke publicly about the impact of pollution and plastic in 1970 and more than five decades later he has continued speaking at such events as the 2021 COP26 global climate conference. Charles has written several books on the subject of the environment for children as well as adults and has taken novel personal actions like converting his Aston Martin car to run on biofuel and installing solar panels on his official London residence.

Queen Camilla

July 17, 1947

Camilla Rosemary Shand met then-Prince Charles at a polo match when she was in her early 20s, before her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973. The couple had two children, Thomas Henry and Laura Rose.

After Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, Camilla was widely seen as “the other woman” and the reason for the breakdown of the royal marriage. Camilla and Charles divorced their spouses in 1995 and 1996, respectively.

After a short hiatus out of the public eye, Camilla was photographed with Charles in 1999 and shortly afterward, she moved into royal residence Clarence House to be with Charles, and her name started appearing on official paperwork. Charles and Camilla married in a civil ceremony in 2005.

“It’s always nice to have somebody on your side,” Charles told CNN in 2015. “She’s an enormous support. The great thing is we laugh a lot because she sees the funny side of life, thank God. If you imagine, that adds an enormous amount to the whole thing.”

Camilla is a working royal, supporting her husband in royal duties. She is also patron or president to about 100 charities involving such issues as violence against women and literacy.

Traditionally the wife of a male sovereign is crowned in a simpler ceremony after her husband. Camilla became the 29th queen consort crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023. She is titled as Queen Camilla, which Buckingham Palace has said is in keeping with former queens consort.

Lady Diana Spencer

July 1, 1961 - August 31, 1997

Lady Diana Frances Spencer married Prince Charles in 1981 and became Princess of Wales.

Diana was a member of the aristocracy; her father was an Earl and had been an equerry to King George VI from 1950 to 1952, and Queen Elizabeth II between 1952 and 1954, while her grandmother was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

After 11 years of marriage, Diana and Charles formally separated, with the divorce finalized in 1996.

While being pursued by paparazzi in Paris the following year, Diana was killed in a car crash, along with her boyfriend and a chauffeur who was legally drunk at the time. Her death sparked widespread public mourning; an estimated 2.5 billion people around the world watched the funeral services.

Diana’s legacy includes her commitment to charitable work. In particular, she helped break down stigma for people with HIV/AIDS and was an active campaigner against the use of land mines, bringing the issue to public attention.

Prince Harry

September 15, 1984

The Duke of Sussex, born Henry Charles Albert David, is the younger son of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales and the only sibling of Prince William.

In his younger years Harry earned a reputation for being a rebellious royal, facing accusations of underage drinking and cannabis use as a schoolboy, wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party at 20 and partying nude in a Las Vegas hotel in 2012.

Harry served in the British armed forces for almost a decade, during which he served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan. He is the founder of the Invictus Games, an international sporting competition for injured servicemen and women.

Harry married Meghan Markle in 2018 after meeting on a blind date set up by a mutual friend 18 months earlier. On their wedding day they were given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The couple have two children.

In 2020, Harry and his wife stepped down as working members of the royal family, dropping their titles as His and Her Royal Highness. Shortly after, he and his family relocated to the duchess’ home state of California.

Once set up in the US, the couple launched their charitable organization, Archewell and signed multi-year production partnerships with Netflix and Spotify. In 2021, Harry became a tech executive at the Silicon Valley startup BetterUp.

Prince Andrew

February 19, 1960

Andrew Albert Christian Edward is the third of Queen Elizabeth II's four children and, reportedly, was her favorite son. There are more than 11 years between him and his older brother, King Charles III.

Andrew joined the Royal Navy and became a helicopter pilot after finishing his studies. He served for 22 years, including missions on the front line during the Falklands War. After leaving the military, Andrew became the United Kingdom’s special representative for international trade and investment, traveling the world selling Brand Britain.

In 1986, Andrew married Sarah Ferguson, and they became the Duke and Duchess of York. They had two children together before divorcing in 1996, the same year as Prince Charles and Diana.

Andrew stepped away from his royal duties in 2019 over his ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty to a sex crime involving a minor. In January 2022, he was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, a day after a US judge ruled that a civil lawsuit against him could proceed. Andrew was being sued in New York by a woman who alleged she was sexually abused by the senior royal when she was 17. He repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and the case was later settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.

Andrew rarely appears in public these days, but surfaced briefly in the days following the deaths of his parents in early 2021 and late 2022 respectively. He retains his own Duke of York title and he is still a member of the royal family, but, like the Sussexes, he no longer represents the family in an official capacity.

Sarah Ferguson

October 15, 1959

Sarah Margaret “Fergie” Ferguson was married to Prince Andrew for a decade from 1986 until their highly publicized divorce. The Duke and Duchess of York have two daughters.

Sarah met her husband-to-be at a party in Windsor Castle in 1985 and a year later they married at Westminster Abbey. Stars like actor Michael Caine, singer Elton John and US first lady Nancy Reagan were guests.

By 1992, the couple were separated and a few years later the BBC reported that Sarah was struggling financially, racking up huge debts. She was involved in various financial and personal scandals including when, in 2010, she allegedly offered an undercover reporter posing as a businessman access to her ex-husband for a large sum of money. She apologized for “a serious lapse in judgment.” The following year she admitted publicly that she accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty to a sex crime involving a minor, to help pay an employee to whom she owed money.

A prolific author, Sarah has published several children’s books — including a successful series based on her being a qualified helicopter pilot — and self-improvement books, related to her being a spokesperson for Weight Watchers for 11 years. In the late 1990s and early 2000s she appeared on ABC, CNN and NBC’s Today show as a guest host, interviewee or special correspondent.

Sarah is also an active advocate for children’s education. She founded the charity Children in Crisis in 1993 and supports other organizations through her Sarah’s Trust initiative.

Although not a working royal since her divorce, she retains the duchess title and remains on amicable terms with her ex-husband. They live at the same property on the Windsor estate.

Prince Edward

March 10, 1964

Edward Antony Richard Louis is the youngest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

Edward graduated with a degree in history from Cambridge University and after a stint in the Royal Marines as a university cadet, he went onto a career in theater and television production. He worked for famed theater producer Andrew Lloyd Webber and made films with the BBC before starting his own production company, Ardent Productions, in 1993. There, Edward made documentaries about, or related to, British royalty.

In 2001, Edward and Ardent Productions faced criticism when a crew allegedly tried to film Prince William — his nephew — at university, breaching a media agreement to respect the young royal’s privacy. A year later, Edward announced he was quitting the production company to focus on supporting the queen during her golden jubilee year. The move came after he had been accused of exploiting his royal position for business gain.

Edward met his future wife, Sophie Rhys-Jones, at a Real Tennis event in 1993. They married at Windsor Castle six years later, and have since had two children. On his wedding day he was given the title Earl of Wessex, and in 2019, was granted the additional title of Earl of Forfar, which he uses when in Scotland.

Edward has been a full-time royal since leaving Ardent Productions. King Charles conferred the title of Duke of Edinburgh on his brother when he turned 59.

Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise is the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. She was known as Princess Anne until 1987 when she was given the title of Princess Royal. As a working member of the royal family, Anne undertook her first official engagement at age 18.

She married Captain Mark Phillips when she was 23 and had two children. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1992 after more than 18 years. That same year, she married Commander — now Vice Admiral — Timothy Laurence.

In 1974, Anne narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt by an armed man who shot multiple people trying to protect her, including her bodyguard, her chauffeur, a police officer on patrol and a passerby. No one was killed, and they were each awarded medals of bravery by the queen who, according to the BBC, told one of the recipients: “The medal is from the queen, but I want to thank you as Anne's mother."

Anne is an accomplished horsewoman, having won medals in tournaments around the world. She was the first member of the royal family to compete in the Olympics in the equestrian three-day event at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. She has continued her involvement as a member of the International Olympic Committee and helped organize the London Games in 2012.

Zara does not have official royal duties, although she was chosen by her cousin Prince William to be a godparent to his older son, Prince George. Zara continues to compete under the name Zara Tindall as an equestrian and represent Great Britain.

Mike Tindall

October 18, 1978

Mike Tindall is married to Zara Phillips, Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter.

He had a successful rugby career, becoming England captain. He was also on the team when England won the Rugby World Cup against Australia in 2003. It was during that tournament that he met his future wife at a bar in Sydney, Australia.

After dating for several years, the couple wed in 2011.

A few weeks after his wedding, while at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, Mike was seen in close conversation with another woman during a night out. He later said the woman was a friend, but the incident disrupted England’s on-field focus. Mike was expelled from the elite squad and later fined for a breaching the code of conduct. He never played for England again.

Mike has been a patron for Rugby for Heroes since 2012, a charity that raises funds through rugby matches for ex-servicemen and women.

Since 2020, Mike has co-hosted a rugby podcast called “The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.” In 2022, he was a contestant on reality show “I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!” where he placed fourth.
