The British Royal Family has passed through the test of time and history, and today’s United Kingdom of Great Britain was founded and has seen prosperity. However, this prosperity did not last long. World Wars I and II, as well as the storms of independence movements caused by ethnic conflicts, transformed the existence of the British Empire, and its central influence and centripetal force as the absolute united kingdom of the past disappeared.

In 1997, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland granted independence and self-government to Scotland and Wales in a referendum, and internal affairs, except for foreign administration and national security, were to be managed by a recognized parliament. Although history demanded it, the prosperity of the British Empire seemed to have come to an end with the times.

In the more than 1,000-year history of the British royal family, the current Queen Elizabeth II will turn 95 this year, making her the 43rd reigning monarch since William II (who ascended the throne in 1027 and abdicated in 1087), who ascended the throne in 1926. She is also the sixth 95-year-old empress to reign in the British royal family. The biggest problem for the British royal family was the problem of the succession of the glorious British royal family, which had been continued for a long time, and the scandal of the affair with Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, the first in line to the throne, which had separated Buckingham from the hearts of the people.

Then, in 1981, at the young age of 21, the announcement of the engagement of Diana, the daughter of an aristocrat of pure English origin, to Prince Charles, a couple for whom the British people had been secretly waiting for such a first and such a long time. The people of the United Kingdom were so elated and excited that they had been watching special news programs about Diana and Charles from morning to night, and their excitement was only getting stronger by the day. The tension was only getting stronger by the day…….

After this, however, the British royal family would be blessed with three grandchildren, but the resulting scandal and death in a car accident followed.
