This course is for parents, teachers and family who are interested in learning more about the British Monarchy.
Perhaps Britain’s most-loved cultural institution! From William the Conqueror in 1066 to Queen Elizabeth II, this session will look at the role of the monarchy in Britain, including the role of the monarch today and the line of succession.
We will give you a whistle-stop tour of some of the most infamous Kings and Queens in British history, including King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and King Charles I before focusing on the modern monarchy, starting with the reign of Queen Victoria.
We will also discuss the 69 years of Queen Elizabeth II on the throne, looking at her coronation, her royal residences, her role as Head of State and some of her more unusual traditions. To finish off, we will talk about the future of the British monarchy in the 21st century.
