Read the text and match. The Queen’s family In the days of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), ordinary British people thought that the royal family was very special. Victoria, her husband and their nine children were seen as an example of perfect family life. But today things are different. The Queen is still generally popular, but there have been too many problems with royal marriages. Two of the Queen’s four children - Anne and Andrew - are now divorced. Prince Charles, the Queen’s oldest son, married Princess Diana in 1981. Diana was young and beautiful and the newspapers and television were very interested in her. Soon she was more popular than Charles, her husband. But her marriage to Charles was not happy. When Diana died in a car accident in 1997 with her lover, Dodi Fayed, many British people were very sad. In April 2005, Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, a friend of more than thirty years.
