4. Royal Families
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 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.
5. Prince Henry, Duke of Sussex is a member of the
British royal family. He is the younger son of Charles,
Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, and is
sixth in the line of succession to the British throne.
Harry was educated at schools in the United Kingdom
and spent parts of his gap year in Australia and
Lesotho. He then chose a military career and
underwent officer training at the Royal Military
Academy Sandhurst.
He was commissioned as a cornet (i.e. second
lieutenant) into the Blues and Royals, serving
temporarily with his brother, Prince William, and
completed his training as a troop leader.
In 2007–08, he served for over ten weeks in Helmand,
Afghanistan, but was pulled out after an Australian
magazine revealed his presence there. He returned to
Afghanistan for a 20-week deployment in 2012–13
with the Army Air Corps. He left the army in June
2015.
6. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex begin their first day as a
married couple following an emotional ceremony that
captivated the nation and a night spent partying with close
family and friends.
They are expected to travel home to take up their royal duties
following a day that saw them exchange rings, process through
Windsor in a carriage and listen to an emotional speech made
by Prince Charles.
The celebrations culminated in a black-tie wedding dinner
staged at Frogmore House and hosted by Charles for 200 of the
couple's closest friends and family.
James Corden reportedly acted as compere. The married couple
arrived at the evening reception in ultimate style - riding in a
silver blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero, which was originally
manufactured in 1968 and has since been converted to electric
power to Frogmore House in Windsor.
The car's number plate bore the date of the wedding - E190518
- and Prince Harry proved he was the perfect gentleman as he
opened the door of a vintage car to let his bride step in, as he
drove her to their private evening reception in a scene akin to a
James Bond film. and kissed to the delight of cheering
onlookers.
7. Who is Meghan Markle
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (born Rachel
Meghan Markle; August 4, 1981) is an
American former actress and a member of the
British royal family.
She was born and raised in Los Angeles,
California. During her studies at Northwestern
University, from which she graduated in 2003
with a degree in theatre and international
studies, she began playing small roles in
American television series and films. In 2011,
she debuted in her best known role,
portraying leading character Rachel Zane on
the legal drama series Suits. In 2017, she
announced her engagement to Prince Harry,
then fifth in the line of succession to the
British throne, and retired from acting.
That same year, she was included in Time
magazine's "100 Most Influential People in
the World".
8. Meghan Markle
For years, she lived in the Canadian city
relatively under the radar.
That was before she became publicly linked
to Prince Harry - arguably the world's most
eligible bachelor - and subsequently the most
googled actress of 2016.
The Los Angeles native had settled into her
adopted city of Toronto where Suits, the
cable legal drama in which she co-stars, is
filmed.
The American actress would spend time at
Trinity Bellwoods Park in the trendy West
Queen West neighbourhood, dine at
restaurants near her home in the Annex, grab
groceries at specialty shops in Kensington
Market, and have drinks at the private Soho
House club downtown.
9. Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip
Mountbatten
Before she was Queen of the United
Kingdom, Elizabeth II was a princess—the
daughter of Prince Albert (King George VI)
and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Philip was the prince of Greece and
Denmark, and the pair met at a wedding.
The two actually got engaged in secret;
Philip asked her father for her hand in 1946,
when she was 20, but he insisted that they
not make their engagement public until she
was 21.
The wedding took place on November 20,
1947, at Westminster Abbey. The train of her
wedding dress was 13 feet long, decorated
with stars, and The Mirror reported that the
princess did her own makeup.
10. Prince William and Kate Middleton
This fairytale wedding was a royal
spectacle for the ages. Prince
Charles' eldest son, William, and
Catherine Middleton, whom he met
at the University of St. Andrews, got
married on April 29, 2011. From the
breathtaking satin dress with its
touching tribute to the United
Kingdom to the couple's first kiss on
the Buckingham Palace balcony, this
ceremony was a royal fanatic's
dream.
11. Conclusion
Members and relatives of the British royal family historically represented the monarch in various
places throughout the British Empire, sometimes for extended periods as viceroys, or for specific
ceremonies or events. Today, they often perform ceremonial and social duties throughout the
United Kingdom and abroad on behalf of the United Kingdom.
Aside from the monarch, their only constitutional role in the affairs of government is to serve, if
eligible and when appointed by letters patent, as a Counsellor of State, two or more of whom
exercise the authority of the Crown (within stipulated limits) if the monarch is indisposed or
abroad. In the other countries of the Commonwealth royalty do not serve as Counsellors of State,
although they may perform ceremonial and social duties on behalf of individual states or the
organisation.
12. Culture in England
The culture of England is defined by
the idiosyncratic cultural norms of
England and the English people.
Owing to England's influential
position within the United Kingdom it
can sometimes be difficult to
differentiate English culture from the
culture of the United Kingdom as a
whole.
However, since Anglo-Saxon times,
England has had its own unique
culture, apart from Welsh or Scottish
culture
13. English literature begins with Anglo-Saxon
literature, which was written in Old English and
produced such heroic epic works as Beowulf
and the fragmentary The Battle of Maldon, the
sombre and introspective The Seafarer and
The Wanderer and the pious Dream of the
Rood and The Order of the World.
For many years, Latin and French were the
preferred literary languages of England, but in
the medieval period there was a flourishing of
literature in Middle English; Geoffrey Chaucer
is the most famous writer of this period.
The Elizabethan era is sometimes described as
the golden age of English literature, as
numerous great poets were writing in English,
and the Elizabethan theatre produced William
Shakespeare, often considered the English
national poet.
14. English Art was dominated by imported artists
throughout much of the Renaissance, but in the
18th century a native tradition became much
admired. It is considered to be typified by
landscape painting, such as the work of J.M.W.
Turner and John Constable. Portraitists like Thomas
Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds are also
significant. Pictorial satirist William Hogarth
pioneered Western sequential art, and political
illustrations in this style are often referred to as
"Hogarthian".
Following the work of Hogarth, political cartoons
developed in England in the latter part of the 18th
century under the direction of James Gillray.
Regarded as being one of the two most influential
cartoonists (the other being Hogarth), Gillray has
been referred to as the father of the political
cartoon, with his satirical work calling the king
(George III), prime ministers and generals to
account.
15. England Cuisine
Since the early modern era, the food of
England has historically been characterised by
its simplicity of approach, honesty of flavour,
and a reliance on the high quality of natural
produce. This has resulted in a traditional
cuisine which tended to avoid strong flavours,
such as garlic, and also complex sauces which
were commonly associated with Roman
Catholic Continental political affiliations
16. Traditional meals have ancient origins, such as bread and
cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and game pies,
and freshwater and saltwater fish. The 14th-century English
cookbook, the Forme of Cury, contains recipes for these,
and dates from the royal court of Richard II.
Modern English cuisine is difficult to differentiate from
British cuisine as a whole. However, there are some forms
of cuisine considered distinctively English. The full English
breakfast is a variant of the traditional British fried
breakfast
English breakfast are bacon, eggs, fried or grilled
tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast, and
sausage, usually served with a cup of coffee or tea. Black
pudding can be added as well as fried leftover mashed
potatoes called potato cakes. A typical English Christmas
dinner traditionally consists of turkey which first appeared
on the English Christmas dinner table in 1573, and is often
accompanied with roast beef or ham, and served with
parsley stuffing, gravy, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes
and vegetables.
17. England Folklore
English folklore developed over many
centuries. Some of the characters and
stories are present all over England, but
most belong to specific regions.
Common folkloric beings include pixies,
giants, elves, bogeymen, trolls, goblins
and dwarves.
While many legends and folk-customs
are thought to be ancient, for instance
the tales featuring Offa of Angel and
Wayland the Smith, others date from
after the Norman conquest of England;
Robin Hood and his Merry Men of
Sherwood and their battles with the
Sheriff of Nottingham being, perhaps,
the best known
18. England Tales
During the High Middle Ages tales
originated from Brythonic traditions,
notably the Arthurian legend Deriving
from Welsh sources; King Arthur,
Excalibur and Merlin, while the Jersey
poet Wace introduced the Knights of
the Round Table. These stories are most
centrally brought together within
Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia
Regum Britanniae. Another early figure
from British tradition, King Cole, may
have been based on a real figure from
Sub-Roman Britain. Many of the tales
and pseudo-histories make up part of
the wider Matter of Britain, a collection
of shared British folklore.
19. English Law
English law is the legal system of England and Wales. Due to the British
Empire, it has been exported across the world: it is the basis of common law
jurisprudence.The 18th century English jurist, judge and politician Sir
William Blackstone is best known for his seminal work, Commentaries on
the Laws of England, containing his formulation: "It is better that ten guilty
persons escape than that one innocent suffer", a principle that government
and the courts must err on the side of innocence, which has remained
constant. Sir William Garrow ushered in the adversarial court system in
common law. He coined the phrase "presumed innocent until proven
guilty", insisting that defendants' accusers and their evidence be thoroughly
tested in court. Major constitutional documents include: Magna Carta
(foundation of the "great writ" Habeas corpus — safeguarding individual
freedom against arbitrary state action), the Bill of Rights 1689 (one
provision granting freedom of speech in Parliament), Petition of Right,
Habeas Corpus Act 1679 and Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949. The jurist
Albert Venn Dicey wrote that the British Habeas Corpus Acts "declare no
principle and define no rights, but they are for practical purposes worth a
hundred constitutional articles guaranteeing individual liberty". A strong
advocate of the "unwritten constitution", Dicey stated English rights were
embedded in English common law, and "the institutions and manners of
the nation"
20. England’s Music
England has a long and rich musical history. The United Kingdom has, like
most European countries, undergone a roots revival in the last half of the
20th century.
English music has been an instrumental and leading part of this
phenomenon, which peaked at the end of the 1960s and into the 1970s.
The achievements of the Anglican choral tradition following on from 16th-
century composers such as Thomas Tallis, John Taverner and William Byrd
have tended to overshadow instrumental composition.
The semi-operatic innovations of Henry Purcell did not lead to a native
operatic tradition, but George Frideric Handel found important royal
patrons and enthusiastic public support in England.
One of Handel's four Coronation Anthems, Zadok the Priest (1727),
composed for the coronation of George II, has been performed at every
subsequent British coronation, traditionally during the sovereign's
anointing. The rapturous receptions afforded by audiences to visiting
musical celebrities such as Haydn often contrasted with the lack of
recognition for home-grown talent. However, the emergence of figures
such as Edward Elgar and Arthur Sullivan in the 19th century showed a new
vitality in English music.
In the 20th century, Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett emerged as
internationally recognised opera composers, and Ralph Vaughan Williams
and others collected English folk tunes and adapted them to the concert
hall. Cecil Sharp was a leading figure in the English folk revival.
21. England’s Cinema
England (and the UK as a whole) has had a considerable
influence on the history of the cinema, producing some of the
greatest actors, directors and motion pictures of all time,
including Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, David Lean, Laurence
Olivier, Vivien Leigh, John Gielgud, Peter Sellers, Julie Andrews,
Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet and
Daniel Day-Lewis.
Hitchcock and Lean are among the most critically acclaimed of
all-time. Hitchcock's first thriller, The Lodger: A Story of the
London Fog (1926), helped shape the thriller genre in film, while
his 1929 film, Blackmail, is often regarded as the first British
sound feature film.
Major film studios in England include Pinewood, Elstree and
Shepperton. Some of the most commercially successful films of
all time have been produced in England, including two of the
highest-grossing film franchises (Harry Potter and James Bond).
Ealing Studios in London has a claim to being the oldest
continuously working film studio in the world.
Famous for recording many motion picture film scores, the
London Symphony Orchestra first performed film music in 1935.
Hitchcock, Alfred is one of the most famous film maker and
producer
22. England’s Region
Christianity became the dominant religion in England
in the 7th century. Polytheistic Indo-European
religions, often referred to as paganism, were
practised before Christianity took hold.
The most notable of these religions were Celtic
polytheism, Roman polytheism and Anglo-Saxon
paganism, which was the religion of the early English
people, or Anglo-Saxons, and which was in many
ways very similar to the closely related Norse
paganism practised by the Scandinavian peoples and
that would later be introduced to England by the
Danes. Christianity was first established in Britain by
the Roman Empire.
According to legend, Christianity was introduced to
Britain by Joseph of Arimathea, who came to
Glastonbury.
There is also a tradition ascribing this
accomplishment to Lucius of Britain. Archaeological
evidence for Christian communities begins to appear
in the 3rd and 4th centuries.
23. England’s Religion
Christianity was first established in Britain by
the Roman Empire. According to legend,
Christianity was introduced to Britain by Joseph of
Arimathea, who came to Glastonbury. There is also
a tradition ascribing this accomplishment to Lucius
of Britain. Archaeological evidence for Christian
communities begins to appear in the 3rd and 4th
centuries. The Romano-British population after the
withdrawal of the Roman legions remained mostly
Christian. The Anglo-Saxon invaders and settlers
who replaced them, founding the English nation,
represented a stark return to pre-Christian religion
for Britain. From the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons
beginning in the 4th century until the arrival of
the Augustinian Mission in 597 AD, England was
entirely pagan, and the pre-Christian Germanic
religion was practised openly in pockets
throughout the country for many decades after
this.
24. Celebrating the Christmas
In 17th-century England, the Puritans condemned the celebration
of Christmas.[68] In contrast, the Anglican Church "pressed for a
more elaborate observance of feasts, penitential seasons, and
saints' days. The calendar reform became a major point of
tension between the Anglicans and Puritans." The Catholic
Church also responded, promoting the festival in a more
religiously oriented form. King Charles I of England directed his
noblemen and gentry to return to their landed estates in
midwinter to keep up their old-style Christmas generosity.
Following the Parliamentarian victory over Charles I during the
English Civil War, Puritan rulers banned Christmas in 1647.
Protests followed as pro-Christmas rioting broke out in several
cities and for weeks Canterbury was controlled by the rioters,
who decorated doorways with holly and shouted royalist slogans.
The book, The Vindication of Christmas (London, 1652), argued
against the Puritans, and makes note of Old English Christmas
traditions, dinner, roast apples on the fire, card playing, dances
with "plow-boys" and "maidservants", old Father Christmas and
carol singing.
The Restoration of King Charles II in 1660 ended the ban.
Following the Restoration, Poor Robin's Almanack contained the
lines: "Now thanks to God for Charles return, / Whose absence
made old Christmas mourn. / For then we scarcely did it know, /
Whether it Christmas were or no."
25. Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution began in England due to the social,
economic and political changes implemented in the previous
centuries. Whereas absolute monarchy stayed the normal
form of power execution through most parts of Europe,
institutions ensured property rights and political safety to
British people after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
Aided by these legal and cultural foundations, an
entrepreneurial spirit and consumer revolution drove
industrialization in Britain.
Geographical and natural resource advantages of Great
Britain also contributed, with the country's extensive coast
lines and many navigable rivers in an age where water was the
easiest means of transportation. Britain also had high quality
coal.
According to British historian Jeremy Black, "an
unprecedented explosion of new ideas, and new
technological inventions, transformed our use of energy,
creating an increasingly industrial and urbanized country.
Roads, railways and canals were built. Great cities appeared.
Scores of factories and mills sprang up.
Our landscape would never be the same again. It was a
revolution that transformed not only the country, but the
world itself."
26. Sports in England
There are many sports which have been codified
by the English, and then spread worldwide,
including badminton, cricket, croquet, football,
field hockey, lawn tennis, rugby league, rugby
union, table tennis and thoroughbred horse
racing.
In the late 18th century, the English game of
rounders was transported to the American
Colonies, where it evolved into baseball.
Association football, cricket, rugby union and
rugby league are considered to be the national
sports of England. The rules of football were first
drafted in 1863 by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, and
England has the oldest football clubs in the
world.
Recognised by FIFA as the birthplace of club
football, Sheffield F.C., founded in 1857, is the
world's oldest football club.The first ever
international football match was between
England and Scotland in 1872
