The English Royal Family Tree

28th December 2010 Paul Chris Jones

I don't know about you, but I barely know the family tree of the royal family. Here's what I know, from the top of my head:

 

Elizabeth is the current queen. Do we have a king? Hang on, I know the Queen has a husband - can't recall his name though. I guess he can't be King because he's not 'blood related' to the royal family.

I've just read that her husband is Philip (one 'l'), and the reason he's can't be King is, the husband of a Queen can't be King. But, the wife of a King does become a Queen. That's sexist.

Also Prince Philip also has the title of Duke of Edinburgh, which is interesting because I didn't know who the Duke of Edinburgh was.

Did Elizabeth have any more children, other than Philip? I would have thought so.

Yes, she had 4. Charles is the oldest. The others are Anne, Andrew and Edward. Interestingly, the webpage also said Edward's sexuality is in dispute.

Let's see the family tree with these additions:
