Culture Tip

The King's family name is Windsor. It comes from the family's historic residence at Windsor Castle.

The title Prince of Wales is traditionally held by the heir to the British throne, making William (and then his son, George) the next in line to become king after Charles III.

Prince George's letter

Windsor, November 15th.
Dear pen pal,
The Windsor family is a little complicated I suppose! My grandfather is King Charles III. He is Queen Elizabeth's eldest son, born in 1948. He married Diana Spencer in 1981 and my father was born in 1982, just like my mother Catherine. He was followed by another son, Harry my uncle. My grandparents divorced in 1996 and unfortunately my grandmother died in a car accident in 1997 before I was born, so I never knew her. My grandfather and Queen Camilla married in 2005.
My mum Catherine met my dad at university and they married in 2011, two years before I was born. Then came my sister Charlotte in 2015, and my brother Louis in 2018.
My uncle met Meghan Markle, an American actress, and they married in 2018. Soon after that, my cousin Archie was born in 2019. And two years later, his sister Lilibet arrived! How big is your family?
All the best,
George.
