The country and the whole world are in mourning following the very sad passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Her death came the year following the death of her husband, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
Not only did they both commit their lives to their Royal duties, they were also very family orientated too. With their four children, Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward, grandchildren William, Harry, Zara, Peter, Beatrice, Eugenie, James and Louise, and great-grandchildren George, Charlotte, Louis, Archie, Lilibet, Mia, Savannah, Lena, August, Isla and Lucas, they had a real little brood.
