British Royal Family

The April 2011 wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton (now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) and the success of their subsequent tour to Canada, demonstrate the enduring popularity of the British Royal Family both at home and abroad.

What HM The Queen designated "The Firm" is a large group of people spanning the age ranges and being involved in all sorts of charitable, commercial and official business. They are not always popular but they are usually fascinating; some people are opposed to a Monarchy in Britain at all.

We aim to reflect the variety of views that the Royal Family excite, explain something of their significance in contemporary Britain and offer insights into what such a disparate group of individuals do and say.
