The British Royal Family.
The British Royal Family is the group of close relatives of the monarch of the United Kingdom. The term is also commonly applied to the same group of people as the relations of the monarch in his or her role as sovereign of any of the other Commonwealth realms, thus sometimes at variance with official national terms for the family.[1] Members of the royal family belong to, or are married into, the House of Windsor, since 1917, when George V changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
TheOsbournes.
The Osbournes was an Emmy Award-winning American reality television program broadcast by MTV in the U.S., the show features the domestic life of heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne and his dysfunctional family. It premiered on March 5, 2002, and in its first season, was cited as the most-viewed series ever on MTV. In addition to famous Black Sabbath / Solo artist Ozzy, the show features his wife Sharon; his son Jack; his daughter, fledgling singer Kelly; and from the second season on, his semi-adopted "son" Rob. His other daughter, Aimee, has refused to participate in the show, and publicly criticizes her parents for their antics on the show.
