Interested in the UK and the British Royal Family? Don’t know who all these dukes and duchesses are? In this lesson, I’ll explain how the British monarchy works. You’ll learn about the members and titles of the royal family, the history of monarchy in the UK, and how our constitutional monarchy works. I’ll answer questions like: What is the queen’s job? Why is there no king right now, even though Queen Elizabeth II has a husband? Who will inherit the throne?… and more. Watch this lesson to understand the royal family and the culture of monarchy in the UK.
What an incredible lesson about the history of the monarchy in England!!!
Thank you so much Gill ;)

Dear Gill!
Some time ago, I asked you to make a video about royal titles and you agreed. Thank you for keeping your word! It’s an amazing lesson indeed!! It’s much better than I had imagined. Your lessons are incredible, beyond doubt. :-)
I’m looking forward to seeing your next lesson.

I can’t believe that I spent half hour listening about royal family. But it was interesting. The life of these people gave subject for many films. I remember several: Elizabeth, The Young Victoria, The King’s Speech, The Queen, all of them great movies. Thank Gill for this lesson!

Thanks Gill for the very important lesson. I very like the monarch government system, and I believe that my country Brasil, came back to their fist system of government that was a monarch until 1889. The British Royal family is a example of this government system. Thanks

Hi Gill! I am here again.
I am writing one more time because I forgot to ask you a question in my former comment. I would like to know if there is another kind of answer besides “bless you” when someone sneezes. I mean, another answer less religious. In Portuguese there are two ones: “Bless you!” and “Health!”.
Thank you in advance!
Eduardo França
Hi Eduardo — thanks for your question. The only other thing that I’ve heard people say is actually in German, as a kind of joke — people say “Gesundheit” !! (which I think means Health)
Gill
Thank you very very much, dear Gill! You are always so gentle and kind. I am going to use “Gesundheit” from now on. ;-)
Eduardo França
That is right. “Gesundheit” in German means Health. The people in Germany say that when someone sneezes.
It is interesting to know. I did’nt know that before.

If i meet a Queen or King how I should call them?
Highness?
brodjag
You must call her as “Her Majesty”
Ye Yint Aung
Hi people!
As far as I know, we should use “Your Majesty” if you are addressing yourselves to a king or queen (for instance, if you are talking to the Queen Elizabeth II), and “His Majesty” or “Her Majesty” if you are talking about him or her with someone else.
Thank you for this wonderful lesson…I really love it.

What an awesome lesson which was presented by an awesome teacher. Thank you very much Gill, it’s my first time to watch a video about kingdom family. Even though in my country there is a lot of history about it, but it never attracts me to watch the video. Your lesson really really made me so curious and I watched it so focus. I ask your permission for saving your video and taking a screen capture of it for delivering as my classroom material. Best regard for you Gill from Indonesia. Love it.

I’m pretty sure King George I learned English. I think to remember reading a poem he translated from German and that was impressively well done. If you ever tried translating poetry it’s very difficult, because you should try to keep the rhythm and all the other poetic elements or else it will not be the same. I remember at the time thinking it’s odd a king would translate a poem, but him being from there makes sense.
