The current monarch is Queen Elizabeth II, married to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Their children are Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.
A list of members of the royal family taken from an overview on the family's official website is as follows, the names being given here as on the page itself[2] (http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page149.asp):-
Recently deceased members of the family include Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales.
The Burrell affair recently occupied much press coverage about the British royal family.
Women marrying a holder of these distinctions would be known as Her Royal Highness but men marrying a holder of the title would not. The only exception to that is Prince Philip, who in 1947 was created HRH The Duke of Edinburgh by King George VI.
As grandchildren of the Sovereign through the female line, the children of Princess Elizabeth and The Duke of Edinburgh would not have been entitled to use HRH or Prince or Princess until their mother became Queen, had those titles and styles not been granted in Letters Patent of 22 October 1948.
