The British Nobility refers to a social class in the United Kingdom that has historically held titles and privileges. This class includes various ranks, such as dukes, earls, and barons, which are often inherited. Nobility has played a significant role in British history, influencing politics, culture, and society.
Members of the nobility often own large estates and have a ceremonial role in the House of Lords, the upper house of Parliament. While their political power has diminished over time, they still hold a place in British culture, often participating in events like royal ceremonies and charity work.
