Britain's royal family has four residences (palaces and forts): the centuries-old Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse and the newest, Buckingham Palace, which is their main residence with over 600 private and business rooms. Some of the members of the royal family take on royal duties as well as civic and charitable tasks. The Queen was born as Princess Elizabeth of York, who at that time only had third place in the line of succession: after her uncle and her father. That changed when her father became king after the abdication of King Edward VIII (her uncle): she was now considered the so-called heiress presumptive or likely heir to the throne. If the king, her father, was abroad, she was allowed to represent him as State Councilor and was entrusted with "tasks of the crown" for the first time. 0 20 ***** Travel tips • Alle Flughäfen ca. 45 Min. vom Stadtzentrum U-Bahn schnellstes Transportmittel Nutzung schwarzer Taxis vermeiden Traditionelle, kleine Pubs besuchen. • Tickets für Shows an Last-Minute Vorverkaufskassen ● history • 55 BC-43 AD - Roman invasion (Londinium) • after 410 invasion of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes approx. 886 Danish invasion • 1066 Norman Conquest (William the Conqueror) • 1215 Magna Carta • 1665 The great plague • 1666 The great fire Top 5 British Foods 1.
