🇬🇧 The British Class System (not caste, but similar hierarchy)
1️⃣ Upper Class
• Royal family, aristocrats, big landowners
• Very wealthy and old family backgrounds
• Often educated at elite schools (Eton, Harrow) and universities (Oxford, Cambridge)
2️⃣ Middle Class
• Doctors, engineers, teachers, office workers, small business owners
• Good income and education
• Not as “elite” as upper class
3️⃣ Working Class
• Factory workers, drivers, shop workers, laborers
• Lower income and fewer privileges
🏰 Why do “high and low” divisions still exist in England?
• Royal family and aristocracy
• Expensive private schools
• Oxford and Cambridge elite culture
• Big income gap
• Accent differences (“posh English” vs local accents)
People still use terms like “posh,” “upper class,” “middle class,” “working class.”

✔ Conclusion
The English don’t have caste, but they do have social classes, which create a type of high–low distinction.
However, class can change (through education, career, wealth),
while caste is much harder to change.
