HISTORY OF THE ROYAL FAMILY

You might already know about the latest royal baby news, but I guarantee that, unless you are a royal expert, you will not know all the information you are about to find out. You wait and see...

The house that is currently reigning the UK is The House of Windsor. Let's start at the very beginning.

The name was changed from 'Saxe - Coburg and Gotha' to 'Winsdor' in 1917 because of anti German sentiment in the British Empire during World War 1. There have been four British monarchs so far: King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI and our present reigning Queen Elizabeth I.

This is the family tree:

Queen Elizabeth I ---- Prince Phillip

Diana Spencer --- Prince Charles --- Camilla Parker Bowles
