The royal family includes many well-known names and faces, as they are the most recognized public figures in the United Kingdom. Throughout her long life, the late Queen Elizabeth II gave birth to four children with her late husband, Prince Philip. Her eldest son, King Charles III, ascended to the throne on September 10, 2022, two days after his mother’s death.
Below is a more detailed overview of the king’s three siblings, from oldest to youngest.
Charles has only one sister, Princess Anne, who was born on August 15, 1950. Her official title, according to the royal website, is The Princess Royal. Since 1970, she has been the president of the Save the Children organization in the UK and has an impressive career in equestrian sports. She began public engagements at the age of 18 and continues her work to this day, now in her 70s. Anne is involved with over 300 charities in the UK and around the world. In the line of succession, she is 16th.
Anne has been married twice: first to equestrian Mark Phillips, from whom she divorced in 1992, and then to naval officer Timothy Laurence. She married Timothy in the same year she divorced Mark. Despite being married for over three decades, they have no children together. Her two children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, are from her marriage to Mark.
Princess Anne played an important role on the day of King Charles’s coronation, as she served as the Colonel of the Blues and Royals in the cavalry regiment, holding the ceremonial Gold Staff. Anne rode behind the carriage of King Charles and Camilla with the Gold Staff when they arrived at Westminster Abbey on the day of the coronation.
The second child of the late queen is her son, Prince Andrew. Andrew has been the subject of numerous scandals in recent years, as Virginia Giuffre accused him of sexual assault in December 2019. His previous associations with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell further tarnished Andrew’s reputation in the eyes of the royal family. Queen Elizabeth II even stripped him of his royal patronages and military titles on January 13, 2022, as a result of the scandal. In 2025, he was stripped of his royal title. In 2026, he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in office.
Andrew attended King Charles’s coronation but did not have an official role at the event due to his history.
Prince Andrew was previously married to writer Sarah, Duchess of York, from 1986 until their divorce in 1996. During their marriage, they had two daughters: Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, while Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in 2018.
Finally, the youngest of Elizabeth and Philip’s children is Prince Edward, born on March 10, 1964. On March 10, 2023, King Charles appointed his younger brother as the new Duke of Edinburgh, a title previously held by their late father. His wife, Sophie, also received the title of the new Duchess of Edinburgh, which had previously belonged to the late queen.
«His Majesty the King is pleased to confer the title of Duke of Edinburgh on Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and Forfar, on the occasion of His Royal Highness’s 59th birthday», - said a statement from Buckingham Palace. «The title will be held by Prince Edward for the duration of his life. The dukedom was last created for Prince Philip in 1947 when he married Princess Elizabeth, who held the title of Duchess of Edinburgh until her accession to the throne in 1952».
During his marriage to Sophie, Edward became the father of only one daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, and later they had a son, James, Viscount Severn
