The British royal family traces its origins to the Norman Conquest in 1066, evolving through significant dynasties like the Plantagenets, Tudors, and the modern Windsors.
Since the 17th century, the monarchy's role transformed, losing power to Parliament, now existing primarily as a symbolic institution representing the country.
Though most of Britain's monarchs have been male, powerful queens like Elizabeth I and Victoria have significantly shaped British history, with Elizabeth II ruling the longest.
After the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, her son Charles III took the throne amidst some controversy, reflecting ongoing discussions about the monarchy's future.
