Queen Elizabeth II's Grandchildren

Lindsay Holiday
About this episode

Queen Elizabeth II’s 4 children have given her 8 grandchildren. While her children were the first generation of royals to have their lives laid bare for public scrutiny, her grandchildren grew up in the limelight and have a better handle on it. The Queen’s children and their scandals nearly brought about the downfall of the monarchy. But the next generation has brought a resurgence in its popularity as young royals aim to position themselves as more genuine and down to earth, despite having a monarch for a grandmummy. Lets take a look at the mostly charmed lives of the 8 royal grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II with updates on what they've been up to in the last few years: 

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex

Peter Phillips

Zara Phillips Tindall

Princess Beatrice

Princess Eugenie

Lady Louise Windsor

James, Viscount Severn
