The members of the British monarchy today have a very positive image - the noble Queen Elizabeth II, who loves bright outfits of conservative cut, the charming Kate Middleton and Crown Prince William, his younger brother Harry - they all literally bathe in the love of the British, and not only them. Have you ever wondered what they do on ordinary weekdays? Is the queen sitting on a throne, is Kate trying on family jewels in front of a mirror, are William and Harry sitting down to drink tea with milk at five o'clock? What are the responsibilities of members of the British royal family - in our article today.
First of all, it should be noted that wherever the members of the royal family go, they are always followed by photographers - both official and paparazzi. And therefore, in order to "keep the brand," all of them always need to look, if not perfect, then at least decent. Although, of course, you will hardly be able to see Kate or William strolling through the mall in search of winter clothes - some things are not available for these people.
Queen Elizabeth II, perhaps, has some of the most intense everyday life. Do not think that she only does what she walks her corgi - in fact, it is the queen's responsibility to approve bills that are presented to her by Parliament. In fact, the role of the queen in creating a new or changing old law today is a pure formality, but she still has the right to express her opinion. The Queen of England is the head of state, and she retains the right to appoint the prime minister and also to dissolve or not to dissolve the parliament.
In addition, the queen has her own so-called "royal obligations". In 2015, there were more than 300 such obligations that had to be fulfilled. The obligations include diplomatic trips, attending charitable events, awards, presentations of titles and, of course, the reception of heads of other states. Every time someone is awarded the title "sir" (like Sir Elton John) or "lady" (like the lady Helen Mirren, who played a whole series of crowned heads - the English queens Charlotte, Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II herself) - all this happens with the direct participation of the queen.
In fact, there are so many such responsibilities that other family members are also forced (rather, are obliged in any case, given their position) to take a direct part in them. Prince William and Kate attend some of the events on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. Sometimes, instead of the queen, her husband, Prince Philip, is sent, sometimes her son, Prince Charles.
However, visiting social events is not the only thing that Princes William and Harry are doing. Both brothers served in the army at one time, and now they also have a job. Today, Prince William is a pilot of a rescue helicopter. In this capacity, he participated in many operations, including the mission to rescue Russian sailors from the wrecked ship Swanland.
Kate patronizes several charitable organizations, and therefore her appearances are most often associated with this topic. And, of course, do not forget that William and Kate are parents of two children, and parenting also takes time and attention.
The Queen also has granddaughters - Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who do not perform any official or special royal duties, but do what they really like - Eugenia works in an art gallery, and Beatrice is a business consultant.
