The Royal Family throughout the Year

The phrase "the Royal Family" is a rather imprecise one which can mean different things in different situations. Here it is taken to include those who bear the princely title and their spouses, as well as the King's nephews and nieces and their spouses.

This calendar lists:

• the birthdays of all living members of the Royal Family;

• the marriage anniversaries of all living members of the Royal Family if their spouses are still living;

• the anniversaries of the deaths of all former sovereigns and their spouses (from the personal union of England and Scotland onwards);

• other significant historical anniversaries.

A genealogical table showing the descendants of Queen Mary IV and III may be of help in identifying those included in this calendar.

Since the death of King Henry IX and I in 1807 no member of the Royal Family has publicly used his English or Scottish titles. The English and Scottish titles accorded to members of the Royal Family in this calendar are those used for them by the Jacobites.
