^ Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June 1953.^ George V was crowned on 22 June 1911.Accordingly, King Charles III is the first monarch of the House of Windsor who is a patrilineal descendant of the Glücksburg dynasty, instead of descending from Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in the male line as was the case with the previous monarchs of the House of Windsor. Descendants of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II belong to the House of Windsor by Royal Command (9 April 1952 Declaration by Queen Elizabeth II to her Privy Council) although under the usual rules of genealogy they are, by paternal descent, also members of the Glücksburg branch of the House of Oldenburg (the ruling House of Denmark and of the former Kingdom of Greece). This change was made in response to anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I. ^ George V changed the name of the British royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor on 17 July 1917.^ Edward VII was crowned on 9 August 1902.^ Victoria was crowned on 28 June 1838.^ William IV was crowned on 8 September 1831.^ George IV was crowned on 19 July 1821.^ George III was crowned on 22 September 1761 N.S.^ George II was crowned on 11 October 1727 O.S.(Duration of reign takes this into account.) ^ Date of start of reign given in Old Style calendar date of death in New Style.^ George I was crowned on 20 October 1714.^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m Old Style date.In the shield of the Scottish version, the Royal Arms of England and the Royal Arms of Scotland are exchanged.

Queen Anne and King George I were second cousins, as both were great-grandchildren of James VI and I. The Crown passed from Queen Anne to Sophia's son, King George I, as Sophia had already died. ĭuring Anne's reign, Parliament settled the rules of succession in the Act of Settlement 1701, defining Sophia of Hanover (granddaughter of James VI and I) and her non-Catholic descendants as the future royal heirs. Although Anne's great grandfather, James VI and I ( r. 1603–1625), the monarch of the Union of the Crowns, proclaimed himself 'King of Great Britain', and used it on coinage, stamps and elsewhere, the Parliament of England had refused to use that style in statutory law or address. Her total reign lasted 12 years and 147 days. She continued as queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death. She had ruled England, Scotland, and the Kingdom of Ireland since 8 March 1702. Queen Anne became monarch of the Kingdom of Great Britain after the political union of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland on. On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland merged, creating first the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and later the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland upon the secession of southern Ireland in the 1920s. England and Scotland had been in personal union since 24 March 1603. There have been 13 British monarchs since the political union of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland on.
