The house of Windsor and the new arrival

Hi everyone!
I'm back! Today I'll talk about the house of Windsor.
At the beginning of the 19th century George V was the King of England with German origins so during the First World war he changed his name to Windsor.
George V had two sons:
Edward VIII and George VI.
The new king after George V would be Edward VIII but he fell in love with an American
actress whose name was Wallis Simpson. She was also divorced,so Edward couldn't become
king if he married Wallis and that's why he abdicated.
After the abdication George VI became king  and when he died her doughter Elizabeth II took
the crown and became the Queen of England.
In 1947 she married Prince Philip and they had four children: Prince Charles (Prince of Wales),
Princess Anne,Prince Andrew (Duke of York) and Prince Edward (Earl of Wessex).
The first son,Prince Charles married Diana Spencer and they had two sons: William (Duke of Cambridge) and Harry (Prince of Wales). But in 1996 the couple divorced and the following year Diana died.
After Diana's death Prince Charles married Camilla (Duchess of Cornwall) in 2005.
Instead William married Catherine Middleton (Kate) on 29 April 2011.
Last summer they had a baby George Alexander Louis (Duke of Cambridge) which will be the next King after his father William.
