“Meghan Markle Says the Royal Family is Kind, But Marrying into Royalty Isn’t Easy: ‘It May Seem Full of Joy, But It’s Full of Drama.'”
King Charles acceded to the British throne in September 2022 following his mother Queen Elizabeth’s historic 70-year reign. Here’s everything to know about the current generation of British royals
Following Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022, her eldest son King Charles acceded to the throne. He, along with his wife Queen Camilla, was coronated on May 6, 2023, in front of 2,200 guests — including many members of the British royal family
The U.K.’s modern royal family began when Queen Elizabeth married Prince Philip in 1947. Throughout her 70-year reign — which was the longest of any British monarch to date — the family endured both happy marriages and heartbreaking divorces, tragic deaths and royal births.
Now with King Charles at the helm of the monarchy, a handful of family members carry on royal duties beside him full-time, including Queen Camilla, his older son Prince William and daughter-in-law Kate Middleton. Other members of the Mountbatten-Windsor clan — including the King’s younger son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle — have chosen to pursue life outside of the royal fold.
