Who are the members of the British royal family?

People closely associated with the British Monarchy are part of the British Royal Family.

Some members of the royal family are entitled to the title "His/Her Majesty" or "His/Her Royal Highness" - and others no.

There is no strict definition of whether or not you belong to the British Royal Family - so different lists of members can be drawn up, depending on the events.
