The late Queen Elizabeth II was not only Britain’s longest-serving monarch of over 70 years at the time of her death at the age of 96 but also the matriarch of the Windsors with 12 great-grandchildren. All of them are descendants of the queen’s four children with Prince Philip: King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.
She also has eight grandchildren, and all of them are expected to be in attendance at the queen’s funeral on Monday. Her eldest son, Charles, is the oldest monarch to ascend to the throne at 73.
Of the queen’s 12 great-grandchildren, Prince Williams’ children are first in line for the royal succession: Prince George of Wales, Princess Charles of Wales, and Prince Louis of Wales. The other great-grandchildren include Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, Sienna Elizabeth Mountbatten, Savannah Phillips, Isla Phillips, Lucas Philip Tindall, Lena Elizabeth Tindall, Mia Grace Tindall, and August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.

Prince George was born on July 22, 2013, and is the oldest child of Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton. He is second in line behind him for the British throne and is King Charles’ first grandchild from his marriage to the late ex-wife Princess Diana.
