The Royal family represents the continuity of British tradition . Over the recent years , the British monarchy has grown , with the Duchess of Cambridge , and their new addition of Prince George . Kate Middleton has always been loyal to British heritage with regards to fashion . She wore Alexandra McQueen on both her wevdding day and christening of her son , a designer that was known for breaking boundaries , and supports the high street . They are the focus of a sense of patriotism and national identity , however there is a new surge of royalties . It is not dependent on your ancestors , but who you are . Today we have Icons , people who rule and command the same respect , so here is how to reign supreme .
