英国皇室英文

The British Royal Family is the family group of close relatives of the monarch of the United Kingdom. There is no strict legal or formal definition in the UK of who is or is not a member of the Royal Family, and different lists will include different people. However, those carrying the style Her or His Majesty (HM), or Her or His Royal Highness (HRH) are normally considered members. By this criterion, the Royal Family will usually include the monarch, the consort of the monarch, the widows and widowers of previous monarchs, the children of the monarch and of previous monarchs, the male-line grandchildren of the monarch and previous monarchs, and the wives or widows of a monarch's and previous monarch's sons and male-line grandsons.Different terms may be applied to the same or similar group of relatives of the monarch in his or her role as sovereign of any of the other Commonwealth realms. For example, for Canada the family is known as the Canadian Royal Family.Some members of the Royal Family have official residences named as the places from which announcements are made in the Court Circular about official engagements they have carried out. The state duties and staff of some members of the Royal Family are funded from a parliamentary annuity, the amount of which is fully refunded by the Queen to the treasury.After 1917, when King George V changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, members of the Royal Family belong, either by birth or marriage, to the House of Windsor. Senior titled members of the royal family do not usually use a surname, although since 1960 Mountbatten-Windsor (incorporating Prince Philip's adopted surname of Mountbatten) has been prescribed as a surname for Queen Elizabeth II's direct descendants who do not have royal styles and titles, and has also sometimes been used when required for those who do have such titles.英国君主与其近亲的关系由其名号可知。王室成员虽然没有严格的法律或者正式的定义，并且不同的名单会有不同的成员，不过拥有国王／女王陛下（HM，His/Her Majesty）或者王子／公主殿下头衔（HRH，His/Her Royal Highness）的一般都被视为王室成员。会被冠以这等称号的人一般包括：君主（国王或女王）君主的配偶（王后或王夫）先君主的未亡配偶君主的子女君主的内孙/孙女君主之子和内孙的配偶和未亡配偶于1917年以前，君主的内曾孙/曾孙女英国王室允许与王室有血缘关系的女性继承王位，这造成了英国王室血缘相同而王朝名称不同的现象，诺曼底王朝建立者威廉一世与英国的盎格鲁-撒克逊王朝无直接的血缘关系，忏悔者爱德华死后无嗣，威廉通过自己的姨祖母艾玛（埃塞烈德的妻子和爱德华的母亲），主张英国王位应该由他继承，威廉的妻子弗兰德的玛蒂尔达是英国的盎格鲁-撒克逊王朝阿尔弗烈德大帝的第七代直系后裔，她和威廉的婚姻提高了威廉要求王位的权利，威廉一世死后，王位由威廉一世与弗兰德的玛蒂尔达所生的儿子威廉二世继承，威廉二世起所有的英格兰和联合王国的国王/女王都是弗兰德的玛蒂尔达（盎格鲁-撒克逊王朝）与威廉一世（诺曼底王朝）的后裔，目前英国王室世系有较远血亲的尚有几百万人。当前的英国王室是温莎王室。
