Royal Records on Deceased Online

With the recent birthday celebrations of the Queen, it feels timely to highlight some of the royal records in the Deceased Online collections The Queen, pictured in 2015 (Wikipedia) Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 91st birthday on 21 April 2017. Last year, she became the longest-reigning monarch in British history and on the 29 November 2016, she and Prince Philip celebrated 69 years of marriage. Not to be outdone, younger members of the Royal Family have also been in the news recently. Prince Harry , along with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge , have been speaking out about the need for improved mental health awareness and services as part of the Heads Together campaign. Notably, last week, Prince Harry spoke at length publicly for the first time about the tragic death in 1997 of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales .
