Well, it doesn't appear like they have any corresponding royal family 
in the wizarding world. I suppose Cornelius Fudge is supposed to be 
the direct counterpart to the Muggle Prime Minister.

Dumbledore says that he is among the few wizards who make it a point 
to read the Muggle newspapers, so the average person probably has no 
clue about the royal family, the Wimbledon standings or the football 
matches. 

Ron has apparently never heard of a football match before meeting 
Dean Thomas and seeing his West Ham poster. His family has no idea 
how to use a telephone or Muggle mail service.

The worlds seem incredibly segregated. 

Someone with more knowledge of the history of the Royal Family than I 
could probably imagine some of the weirder members of the line as 
being shipped off to Hogwarts before returning, though.
