However, many have since struggled with understanding how the Monarch of Britain fits into this form of governance.

Since 1918 Britain has been governed in a Democratic system but held a lot of the same customs that it had when it was a monarchy (like a royal family etc.).

The forty-one-year-old new King had been known as an especially womanizing prince and he was still unmarried when he assumed the throne on January 20, 1936.

A fairy tale is in every little girls dream. The handsome prince followed by a magical wedding with the perfect gown that will blow everyone’s mind away. For some this will always stay a dream and for others they will simply grow up to realise that nothing is like the fairy tales.
