Queen Elizabeth II’s death set in motion a once-in-a-century event where a new king would be crowned and royal titles would shift according to the line of succession. But what do we know about Queen Elizabeth’s children and grandchildren with Prince Philip?

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor and Philip were married in 1947 and they welcomed their first child a year later. After more than 70 years of being her loyal husband and Britain’s longest-running royal consort, Philip passed away in April 2021 aged 99. On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth passed away at age 96. The four children and eight grandchildren she shared with her “beloved husband” reunited at her funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 19, 2022. “As we all prepare to say our last farewell, I wanted simply to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my family and myself in this time of grief,” the Queen’s eldest son, King Charles III, said ahead on the eve of her funeral. Following a state funeral, the Queen and Prince Philip, as well as the Queen’s mother and father, were reunited in their final resting place beneath St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in the Royal Vault. Read on to find out more about Queen Elizabeth’s children and grandchildren the monarch left behind.

In 2022, Andrew was stripped of his military titles after a judge ruled a sexual abuse civil lawsuit against him could proceed, which he settled. “With The Queen’s approval and agreement, the Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen. The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen,” the palace said in a statement.
