And now here you are a note about the rest of them:

Camilla Parker-Bowles had a relationship with Prince Charles for many years before marrying him in April 2005. The

majority of the British public supported (tolerated-allowed) the marriage, despite Princess Diana's great popularity.

Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, is the first son of Queen Elizabeth II. He is expected to become the next British

king. He is well known for his interest in architecture.

Diana, Princess of Wales, was the first wife of Prince Charles. She was the most popular member of the Royal Family

and was often called Di. She died in a car accident in Paris.

Prince Harry is the younger son of Charles and Diana. He is in the British army.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is the Queen's husband. He likes telling jokes during public visits and sometimes

the jokes cause offence.

Prince William is the first child of Charles and Diana. He is the second in line to the British throne. He studied Art

History at university and then changed to Geography.
