What we know about Royal family
In my country the most important Royal family members are 1. Prince Charles (the Queen’s eldest son) 2. Prince William (the Queen’s grandson) 3. Prince Harry (the Queen’s grandson) and their wives of course.... Queen Elisabeth is the main character. We can read in popular local magazines many different things about their private lives . I don't know if it is interesting for you or not, but there are people who want to know almost everything about them.
What do you know about the British Royal family? A new book by former BBC journalist Brian Hoey (We Are Amused: A Royal Miscellany)has some fascinating facts. I choose several to write down. Here are a few of them. 1.Any chocolates sent to the Royal Family are immediately destroyed in case they’re poisoned. 2.The Queen sleeps under linen sheets and woollen blankets. She isn’t that keen on duvets. 3.The Queen likes a special blend of tea made by R. Twining & Company. She has it with milk and no sugar (she uses a sweetener instead). 4.The housemaids (there are 26 alone at Buckingham Palace) have to walk backwards when vacuuming to avoid leaving footmarks on the carpets. 5. Footmen must be about 5 ft 9 in tall (about 175 cm), and have a 36-inch chest (about 91 cm)so they can fit into the uniforms, which date back more than 100 years to the reign of King Edward VII. What else do you know about British Royal family? If there is something interesting about their lives let us know. *Extracts taken from We Are Amused: A Royal Miscellany by Brian Hoey.* Photos taken from google.com

Number 2 from this list is very interesting. Queen knows what is the best 😁
Yes you are right. Queen really knows what is the best.
I loved Princess Lady Di, I'm sorry she ended up like that
Yes, she was unique person, unfortunatelly she died very young.
Princess Diana, Although she has been gone for more than two decades, is still one of the most important royal figures.
Only she deserves to be a real Queen. Unfortunatelly it was impossible. But she lives in people's hearts.
this queen should never die, is she immortal
I dont know why people in UK so much love them,they even crying when they see someone from Royal family.
Yes, for British people they are very important. They consider them as a family members.
I read something about the royal family and I think they have very strange habits and very great precautions.
Since the tragic death of Princess Diana, I have somehow begun to look at the royal family with different eyes. I was sorry for the young princes, so few were left without a mother, horror. But at the same time, I felt disgust towards Prince Charles, who was walking with the new candidate for Diana's place, Mrs. Camille. That was a shock to me as a girl. Since then, all my romantic notions about that family have fallen into heavy oblivion.
Lady Di was unique, and everything that happened after or before her death connected to her was very disappointing for the whole world. It was big injustice that changed our point of view.
