British Monarchy Year Founded: 871 AD or 1066 AD First Monarch: Alfred the Great or William the Conqueror Current Monarch: Elizabeth II Current Heir Apparent: Charles, Prince of Wales The start of the British monarchy is often hard to date as prior to 1066, England was divided into seven major kingdoms with several different rulers. Depending on who you ask, the first King of England is either Alfred the Great, who ruled from 871-899; or William the Conqueror, who invaded England from Normandy and was declared the King of a unified England. The current royal family is directly descended from William the Conqueror. Queen Elizabeth II, who ascended the throne in 1952, is the longest reigning British monarch. Today, the British monarchy is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. #info #EverythingsInfo
