Слайд 26Things The Queen was first to do
Слайд 27In 1953–54 H.M. Queen Elizabeth II became the first monarch
to circumnavigate the globe on a six month around-the-world tour
with H.R.H Prince Philip also becoming the first to visit Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.
Слайд 28Queen Elizabeth II is the first monarch to send her
children to boarding schools in order to remove them from
the ever-probing media.
Слайд 29Queen Elizabeth II was the first, and so far only,
female member of the royal family to actually serve in
the armed forces, though other royal women have been given honorary ranks.
Слайд 30Queen Elizabeth II was the first British monarch since the
Act of Union, in 1801, to be out of the
country at the moment of succession, and also the first in modern times not to know the exact time of her accession (because George VI had died in his sleep at an unknown time). She was in Kenya.
Слайд 31Buckingham Palace was opened to the public for the first
time
Queen Elizabeth II was the first British Monarch to visit
China when she visited in 1986.
Слайд 32Who will be the next King or Queen?
Слайд 34Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales
Слайд 35Prince Charles is presently heir (next in line) to the
British throne. He will not become king until his mother,
Queen Elizabeth, abdicates (gives up the throne), retires or dies. When either of these happen, Prince Charles may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest son Prince William.
Слайд 36What is the title of the heir to the British
throne?
The heir to the throne is always called the Prince
of Wales. The title was introduced by King Edward l in 1301, after the conquest of Wales.
Слайд 37If the eldest child of the monarch is female, will
she become heir to the throne?
Yes, if she does not
have any brothers.
No, if she has a brother.
In Britain the crown was normally passed from monarch to eldest son. As King George VI had no son, it passed to his elder daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II.
If a monarch had sons, they took precedence over daughters: thus, although HR The Princess Royal is older than her brothers HRH The Duke of York and HRH The Earl of Wessex, they (and their children) precede her in the order of succession.
Слайд 38From 2013, this all changes. Now the oldest child in
herit the throne regardless of being a daughter or a
son. This means that if William and Kate had had a daughter she would have inherited the throne even if she had a younger brother.
Слайд 39The current Royal Line of Succession is:
1. HRH The Prince
Charles, The Prince of Wales (1948), eldest son of HM
Queen Elizabeth II
2. HRH Prince William of Wales (1982), elder son of HRH The Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales
3. Prince George of Cambridge (b 2013), son of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge
4. HRH Prince Henry of Wales (popularly referred to as Prince Harry), (1984), younger son of HRH The Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales
5. HRH The Prince Andrew, The Duke of York (1960), second son of HM Queen Elizabeth II
