British Royal Family

• The Prince of Wales became Duke of Cornwall in 1952 on The Queen's accession, and he receives the annual net revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall to meet all his costs.
• Prince William was 15-years-old when Diana, Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.
• The royal family's official name, or lack thereof, became a problem during World War I, when people began to mutter that Saxe-Coburg-Gotha sounded far too German. King George V and his family needed a new, English-sounding name. After considering everything from Plantagenet to Tudor-Stuart to simply England, the king and his advisors chose the name Windsor.
• He was born at 9.03pm on 21 June 1982, at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London.
• The Queen is married to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and has four children and eight grandchildren.
