The British Imperial Family is no stranger to a complex and overtly criticized public life and even more complicated and tumultuous personal life. They have ruled most of the globe, colonized most of the world under them. They went from ruling to reigning, as the colonies freed themselves and the empire shrank, yet the monarchy has stood the test of time. This has not been easy for anyone associated with the crown. There were sacrifices, blood and tears are same, when monarchy, was or even now, in question. 

The Monarchs have lead the commonwealth with unmatched dedication. They have changed and welcome changes as the last century progressed but held on to their core values and traditions very strongly and that has kept them standing strong till now.

CROWN: The crown holds the utmost importance for this establishment. This includes the person on whose head it rests on. It will give it everything but it will come with a heavy price. The crown leads the ways of the commonwealth and the Imperial Family as well. 

SERVICE: Service to the Crown, demands all of the family to be together in the whole process. The idea of moving together in this is allured by the benefits and recognition the Crown gives to all individual who contributes to the preservation of Monarchy. Every year, even commoners are also bestowed with titles and knighthood for their remarkable service to the crown. 

PUBLIC IMAGE: The public life of the royal family members are strictly guided by protocols. They cannot deviate from the protocol and if they do so, the member is strictly criticized. They royals don't believe in washing dirty linen in public, but in recent times that hasn't been the case. Explosive interviews are not welcomed!! anyways who likes mud to be thrown on their family. A clean public image is required to be accepted by the people of the commonwealth and its realms. 

The Imperial Family is an interesting subject for historians and royal fans who are keen to understand the ways and life of the people who are a part of history. It is like you are actually a part of history in the making. The British Royal Family teaches us a few things that everyone can follow, from their complicated lives we can take away few interesting points that might help us in rebuilding our confidence and give us an insight as to how to face the future.

1. Family is everything. Their support is very important. 
2. Family values are the core principles that shape a personality.
3. Every Family establishment has flaws and skeletons in the cupboard. Don't try to dig them out.
4. Never ever malign your family in front of the world. No one appreciates a person like that.
5. A marriage can only work if spouses work together towards a common goal. Separation was never an option for previous generations.
6. A strong marriage can uphold a world together. Team work. 
7. Education is very important. It gives you an edge over others. 
8. Discipline is the key to a successful professional life. Indiscipline never pays. 
9.  It is okay to learn from past mistakes and prepare for future. the royal family never thinks about 30 years from now, they think about 100 to 150 years from now. It is not easy to manage all that wealth and kingdom, if you are not fore sighted.
10. Devotion is the way to achieve everything. Devotion and passion go hand in hand. 
11. You must know when to draw a line, when you say something or do. A stitch in time saves nine. 
12. Think collectively when you lead and do not be an individualist when you want to lead. 

The British Royal Family has stood the test of time. Monarchs have come and gone. The only common thing we can learn from their lives is the dedication they had towards their job. Their family lives have never been easy, but they have fought for their ambitions took some very bold risks and difficult decisions for the upheaving the monarchy and the commonwealth through ages.
