Saint Helena
One commentator has observed that, notwithstanding the high unemployment resulting from the loss of full passports during 1981–2002, the level of loyalty to the British monarchy by the St Helena population is probably not exceeded in any other part of the world. King George VI is the only reigning monarch to have visited the island. This was in 1947 when the King, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother), Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Princess Margaret were travelling to South Africa. Prince Philip arrived at St Helena in 1957 and then his son Prince Andrew visited as a member of the armed forces in 1984 and his sister the Princess Royal arrived in 2002.
Elizabeth II
Elizabeth's only sibling, Princess Margaret, was born in 1930. The two princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and their governess, Marion Crawford, who was casually known as "Crawfie". Lessons concentrated on history, language, literature and music. Crawford published a biography of Elizabeth and Margaret's childhood years entitled The Little Princesses in 1950, much to the dismay of the royal family. The book describes Elizabeth's love of horses and dogs, her orderliness, and her attitude of responsibility. Others echoed such observations: Winston Churchill described Elizabeth when she was two as "a character. She has an air of authority and reflectiveness astonishing in an infant." Her cousin Margaret Rhodes described her as "a jolly little girl, but fundamentally sensible and well-behaved".

Monarchy of the United Kingdom
In the 1990s, Republicanism in the United Kingdom grew, partly on account of negative publicity associated with the Royal Family (for instance, immediately following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales). However, polls from 2002 to 2007 showed that around 70 -- 80% of the British public supported the continuation of the monarchy.

Princess Dowager Guo
Prior to 363, Zhang Xuanjing's grandmother Princess Dowager Ma had been princess dowager, but after she died that year, Zhang Xuanjing honored Lady Guo as princess dowager. (She was only described as Zhang Chonghua's concubine and not as Zhang Xuanjing's mother, but there would be little reason for him to honor her as princess dowager if she were not his mother.) Because Zhang Xuanjing's uncle, the regent Zhang Tianxi, was acting dictatorially, she conspired with officials led by Zhang Qin (張欽) to kill Zhang Tianxi, but the news leaked, and Zhang Tianxi had Zhang Qin put to death. (This implies that Princess Dowager Guo was not put to death.) Zhang Xuanjing, in fear, offered to yield the throne to Zhang Tianxi, but Zhang Tianxi refused. However, a month later, he sent soldiers into the palace and assassinated the 13-year-old duke. He himself took the Jin-created title the Duke of Xiping, which his nephew had held. Princess Dowager Guo's fate was not mentioned.

Her father, Margrave John Frederick of Brandenburg-Ansbach, belonged to a branch of the House of Hohenzollern and was the ruler of a small German state, the Principality of Ansbach.

At the Prussian court, her previously limited education was widened, and she adopted the liberal outlook possessed by Sophia Charlotte, who became her good friend and whose views influenced Caroline all her life.
