- Queen Elizabeth II was the British monarch in the United Kingdom for seven decades.
- She has four children, seven grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
- She was married to the late Prince Philip.
- Her son, now King Charles III will officially be crowned at the Coronation ceremony on May 6, 2023.
The youngest generation of royals continues to remember the late Queen Elizabeth II as much more than just “Her Majesty.” The monarch’s 12 great-grandchildren have been morning the loss of their grandma since her death on Sept. 8 at the age of 96, some privately, some in public.
Several of the Queen’s older great-grandchildren attended her Sep. 19, 2022 funeral, which took place at Westminster Abbey in London. Prince William’s eldest Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, both attended. Royal granddaughter Zara Tindell’s daughter Mia, 8, did not attend the service but was with mom for the Queen’s burial at Windsor Castle.
Prince Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor (whose namesake is the Queen), along with Prince Louis of Wales, 5, were not in attendance, likely because of how young they are. Little Lena Tindall, 4, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, 1 1/2 years, Lucas Philip Tindall, 17 months, and Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, 1, were also too young to attend.
In more recent times, the Royal Family is currently prepping for King Charles III‘s official Coronation ceremony set to take place on May 6, 2023. To celebrate the major event, Buckingham Palace released a new official portrait of King Charles and his wife, now Queen Camilla on Apr. 4. “As the countdown to the Coronation continues, a new photograph of The King and The Queen Consort, taken last month in the Blue Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, has been released,” the official post’s caption read, via Instagram.
They also released the official invite for the event on Twitter and Instagram on Apr. 5, 2023. “The official invitation for the Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort has been revealed! Designed by Andrew Jamieson, the invitation features the motif of the Green Man, an ancient figure from British folklore, symbolic of spring and rebirth, to celebrate the new reign,” they captioned the posts.
Ahead of the late queen’s son’s Coronation ceremony, learn more about the royal great-grandchildren, below!
Savannah Phillips
At 12 years old, Savannah Phillips is the oldest great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth. The daughter of Peter Phillips and his ex-wife, Autumn Kelly, Savannah is 19th in line for the throne, although she doesn’t have a royal title. Her grandparents are Princess Anne and Mark Phillips.
Isla Phillips
Isla Phillips, born March 29, 2012, is the younger sister of Savannah. Like her sister, Isla doesn’t have a royal title, as her grandparents, Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, declined the Queen’s offer to give her father Peter Phillips a title, for fear it would be a “hindrance in the child’s future career,” according to the Washington Post. She is 20th in line for the throne.
Prince George
As the third in line for the throne, behind father Prince William and grandfather King Charles, Prince George will likely be King one day. At 9 years old and the firstborn of Prince William and Kate, the adorable tyke has had much of his young life in the spotlight. His grandmother is the late Princess Diana.
Mia Tindall
Born January 17, 2014, Mia Tindall is the daughter of former rugby player, Mike Tindall, and Zara Tindall, the only daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips. As Zara wasn’t given a royal title when she was born, Mia does not hold one as well. However, she appears close to her royal cousins, as she has been snapped alongside Prince George and Princess Charlotte at various events. She is 22nd in line for the throne.
Princess Charlotte
The only daughter of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charlotte has taken the world by storm at the ripe old age of 7. Already off to school, the young charmer is making history as the first female royal to retain her claim to the throne even though she has a younger brother, thanks to the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act. Therefore, Princess Charlotte is fourth in line to rule.
Prince Louis
Born April 23, 2018, Prince Louis is the third child of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Fifth in line for the throne, Louis Arthur Charles is just starting his life out as a royal member, although he hasn’t been afraid to join in on fun family events. The photo above is the portrait released on his fifth birthday and shows him looking happier than ever.
Lena Tindall
Like her older sister Mia, Lena Tindall doesn’t have a royal title. Mike and Zara’s second daughter was born on June 18, 2018. Although the expecting parents had the name originally chosen as “Elena”, they switched it days before the birth. “I liked the name Elena but I didn’t want her initials to be ‘ET’ so she’s Lena,” Zara told The Telegraph at the time.
Archie Mountbatten-Windsor
The first child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was welcomed on May 6, 2019. In a statement made around his first birthday, the parents revealed how their son’s name was connected with their Archewell foundation. “Before SussexRoyal came the idea of ‘arche’ — the Greek word meaning ‘source of action,'” read the statement. “We connected to this concept for the charitable organization we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son’s name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters.”
August Brooksbank
Born February 2021, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank was welcomed as the first child of Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank. He is also the first grandchild of Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson. When August first arrived, Princess Eugenie and Jack shared a sweet snap of the baby, with the caption, “Our hearts are full of love for this little human, words can’t express.”
Lucas Tindall
Mia and Lena got a little baby brother on March 21, 2021. The first son of Mike and Zara, Lucas Tindall was actually delivered in the bathroom of the couple’s Gloucestershire home. “Arrived very quickly. Didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” Mike revealed on his podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.
Lili Mountbatten-Windsor
Prince Harry and Meghan welcomed Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on June 4, 2021. “Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet,” the couple said in a statement at the time. “Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.” Lili is now eighth in line for the throne.
Sienna Mapelli Mozzi
On September 18, 2021, Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their first child, daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi. Two weeks after the birth, Edoardo posted a sweet tribute to Sienna on Instagram, writing, “These are the days I never want to forget. This week, a friend said to me the sweetest saying…. that with every child you grow a whole new heart.”
