Wonderopolis Dec 2, Hannah from Team Turner Dec 2, I really liked this Wonder. I learned that sometimes royalty isn't always perfect. Almost everyone is watching your every move. I also learned that it is a very unlikely chance you are apart of a royal family. It makes me wonder a couple things Am I a part of a royal family?

I'm handsome, charming, and EVIL!!! I love wonderopolis sssssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!! For centuries, males took precedence over females in the line — with monarchs like Queens Elizabeth and Queen Victoria only taking the throne when no male heirs were available.

But the law was changed in for members of the royal family born after 28 October Places 6 and 7 in the line are occupied by Prince Harry and his son, Archie , with Prince Andrew at 8 and his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie at 9 and 10 respectively.

Fans of William Shakespeare will know that many members of the medieval royal family often took their titles from the English shires — York, Lancaster , Gloucester, Cornwall — and the same applies today. The one exception is the Duchy of Cornwall, which has lucrative estates that currently support Prince Charles as heir to the throne and will be passed on to William when he becomes heir.

In terms of precedence, the five male titles of the peerage are Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount and Baron, with Duke being the highest and most exclusive. The institution of the monarchy is essentially old-fashioned, say its critics , artificially maintaining the privileges of a bygone era and leading to numerous practices that have no place in a modern age. When any young royal joins the armed forces, for example, they are automatically made officers — they never start from the bottom.

They live rent-free in fancy digs, with some royals wearing ritzy clothes given to them by designers for the sake of the publicity. Even supporters of the monarchy might feel that the pages and hours dedicated by the media to the reporting of trivial royal activities diverts national attention from more substantial topics. Yet another argument is advanced by atheists, agnostics, and free-thinkers: they condemn the endorsement that the royal family gives to the Church of England and organised religion.

Despite the powerful theoretical arguments against them see above , the British royal family has survived by being more open and flexible — and yes, more democratic — than many others. The French monarchy was destroyed in a blood-bath in the s, in part because it allied itself with a rigid and oppressive aristocratic upper class which unashamedly exploited ordinary people.

At that same date, while far from perfect, the British royal family was consorting with merchants and entrepreneurs and was encouraging scientific research through institutions like the Royal Society.
