The British Royal family is undoubtedly one of the most famous royal clan in the world. The Royal family officially comprises of the ruling monarch and all of their close relations. There are a lot of fascinating facts about the royal family. The members of the royal family do not have any surnames. Instead. They use surnames representing their house or dynasty. The Queen is the only person in the UK who is allowed to drive without a driving license. She is also not required to have a passport. It is illegal to stand within 100 yards of the reigning king or queen without wearing socks. George II was the last king to lead an army in battle during the War of Austrian Succession in 1743. If you are ever lucky enough to meet a royal then you should not offer your hand to them to shake. Apart from their refined and polished accents, there are a few words that royals would never utter like pardon, toilet etc.

English breakfast
The traditional English breakfast is a national institution. Most of us love a full English breakfast; you can even travel abroad, to the Mediterranean resorts in Spain for example, and find this quintessentially British dish on sale in cafes and restaurants.
The tradition of breakfast dates back to the Middle Ages. At this time, there were usually only two meals a day; breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was served mid or late morning, and usually consisted of just ale and bread, with perhaps some cheese, cold meat or dripping.
Mother's and father's day
Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day is recognized on the third Sunday in June. On these days, American children show their appreciation by treating fathers, mothers, or those who have served as parental figures in their lives, to something special.
Mother's day
On the second Sunday in May, American children of all ages treat their mothers to something special. It is the day when children, young and old, try to show, in a tangible way, how much they appreciate their mothers, or those who have served as mother figures in their lives.
Father's day
The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers, and all men who act as father figures, all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner, or otherwise made to feel special.
