    For more than 65 years, Queen Elizabeth II has presided over the throne, giving the British royal family tree plenty of time to spread far and wide. The queen's four children all, themselves, have children. Some of them have now married and have kids of their own. Here is a list of the queen's grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

    Where It All Began

    Queen Elizabeth II has four children with husband Prince Philip (front row, right). From left to right, they are Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and Prince Edward.

    Prince Charles, the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth, is first in the line of succession to the British throne and will become king in the event of his mother's death. He had two sons with the late Princes Diana, Princes William and Harry.

    Seen here with their late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, William and Harry are the sons of the first in line to the throne. While that means elder brother William will one day be king, Harry gets further from the throne as each of William's children are born.

    As the son of the first in line to the throne, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, will become king when his father, Prince Charles, either dies or steps down.

    While they are the grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth, Peter Phillips and his sister, Zara, carry no titles because tradition dictates that only the sons of a monarch shall give birth to royalty.

    Peter Phillips is married to Autumn Phillips and the couple's daughters, Savannah and Isla, are great-granddaughters to Queen Elizabeth.
