The queen does not normally use a surname (she doesn't need a passport or a driving licence for example), but
on the few occasions where it has been necessary, I.E. when serving with the ATS during World War II, she
has used the surname “Windsor”.
The British Royal Family changed their last name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windesor in 1917. Why?
World War One broke out in 1914 and anti-German sentiment was its height in 1917. In protest, King
George V renounced at the German titles belonging to him and his family and adopted the name of his
castle, Windesor.
From 8 February 1960, all the queen's descendandts who do not bear the “style,title or attribute of HRH, and
the titular dignity of prince or princess” have the name of Mountbatt-Windsor. (Mountbat as prince Philip's
surname).
PHILIP : Prince Philip was a prince from birth. He is the son of Prince Andrew of Greece and was born
prince of Greece and Denmark. Upon his marriage to then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947, Philip was given the
title “Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merion, and Baron Greenwich,” and was made a Knight of the Garter.
(He became a British citizen around this time and renounced his Greek and Danish titles). Elizabeth II was
coronated in 1953 , and in 1957, she granted Philip the title “Prince of the United Kingdom”.
The Queen as married to the HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the son of Prince and Princess
Andrew
of Greece and Denmark. They married on 20 November 1947.

SOUP FOR SUMMER
Soup is such a versatile, nutritious dish,it' s a good one for children to learn. If you have little
children, you'll need to oversee, or do, the chopping and cooking of course, but they can watch to
see how it's done, and chip in with some of the prep. This recipe makes the most of seasonal broad
beans, which are fantastic with gammon. We've used unsmoked gammon but you could also use
smoked for a deeper Havour. Mint adds a layer of fresh, bright zing that's perfect for early summer.
There's no need for a blender, as the soup is meant to chunky.

Camilla of Cornwall on 9 April 2005. The death of Diana, Princess of
Wales on 31 August 1997 in a car crash in Paris, unleashed a wave of
hysteria. This has altered significantly in recent times with the Queen 's
decision to pay tax, changes being made to the civil List, and opening
Buckingham Palace to the public, to help fund the restoration of
Windsor Castle.

London
London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest
metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the largest urban zone in the
European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has
been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its
founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the
City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since
at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the
metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms
the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by
the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly. London is a leading
global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education,
entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services,
research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its
prominence. It is the world's leading financial centre alongside New York
City and has the fifth- or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the
world depending on measurement. London has been described as a world
cultural capital. It is the world's most-visited city measured by
international arrivals and has the world's largest city airport system
measured by passenger traffic. London's 43 universities form the largest
concentration of higher education in Europe. In 2012, London became the
first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times. London has
a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300 languages are
spoken within its boundaries. In March 2011, London had an official
population of 8,174,100, making it the most populous municipality in the
European Union, and accounting for 12.5% of the UK population. The
Greater London Urban Area is the second-largest in the EU with a
population of 8,278,251, while the London metropolitan area is the
largest in the EU with an estimated total population of between 12
million and 14 million. London had the largest population of any city in
the world from around 1831 to 1925.London contains four World
Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the
Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and
the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory
marks the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT). Other famous landmarks
include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's
Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard. London is home
to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural
institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern,
British Library, Wimbledon, and 40 West End theatres. The London
Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.
The Tower Bridge
TOWER BRIDGE is a bridge of London situated on the River Thames. Its
name (which means tower bridge) comes from the fact that connects the
district of Southwark to the Tower of London. The Tower Bridge is s
bridge rather recent (begun in 1889 and finished in 1894) which, thanks to
modern technology , is able to open within 90 seconds to let the ships go
up to London Bridge.
Big Ben
Big Ben is the name of the Great Clock of Westminster, on the Clock
Tower (dedicated to Saint Stephen ), located at the north -east corner
of the Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament in
London. Traditionally the whole clock tower is called Big Ben, 96.3
meters high, built in Gothic Revival style. The official name of the tower,
however, became Elizabeth Tower at the end of June 2012 on the occasion
of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth.
Officially, the name of the ball (one of the five clock), however, is “Great
Bell”. We have no definite information as to the origin of the name “Big
Ben”, but there are two theories about.
The first claims that the name derives from Sir Benjamin Hall, a member of
the House of Commons and the works supervisor for the reconstruction of
the Palace of Westminster. The second holds that the name derives from
the name of the heavyweight champion of boxing Benjamin Caunt, who fought
his last fight in 1857.
Inside Buckingham Palace
The palace has around 600 rooms including: 19 state rooms, 51 royal and
guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 91 office and a cinema and a swimming pool.
It also its own post office and police station. About 400 people work at
the palace including domestic servants, chef , footman, clears, plumbers,
chauffers, electricians, and people who look after the 300 clocks.
