Queen Elizabeth – Prince William

Elizabeth II is the firstborn of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. In her adult life, she became the heir presumptive after her father ascended the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, in 1936. Educated privately at home, Elizabeth II began to undertake public duties to a substantial degree during the Second World War and served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. She married a former prince of Greece and Denmark, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947.

They had four children—Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. The royal lineage continued to her grandchildren, and one of them is Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Prince William is the eldest child of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales. In the succession of the British throne, Prince William has been second in line since birth. He was educated at Wetherby School, Ludgrove School, and Eton College.
