British nobility

British nobility refers to a social class known for its historical privileges, titles, and land ownership. It includes various ranks, such as dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts, and barons, often inherited through family lineage. Nobility traditionally held power and influence in governance and society. Today, while many of their political roles have diminished, noble titles continue to be respected symbols of heritage and history. Nobles may still play ceremonial roles, and some engage in charity and public service, reflecting their continued prominence in British culture.
