Naah
Dont be silly.. Hannover ... y'no that little old place in Germany where our Royals come from. (And to where I wish they would retire)
Interesting piece in today's Daily Mail (tabloid, but likes to think of itself as respectable).
Summary:-
The British Royals are German. Edward 7 "there is not a drop of blood in my veins that is not German".
The King acted totally unconstitutionally by publically endorsing Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policy towards Nazi Germany.
Rudolf Hess and the Duke of Kent were killed in a plane crash on their way to a conference in Iceland. They were conspiring to have the King present Churchill with a fait accompli...end the war or you are gone, by Royal prerogative!
Anthony Blunt, communist spy and keeper of the Queens Pictures, was the illegitimate son of George 5. He went to Germany after the war to retrieve embarrassing letters from the royals to Nazi German nobility and Nazi leaders including Hermann Goring.
Prince Philip's sisters all married high ranking Germans. Consequently at his wedding to Elizabeth in 1947, he could invite only 2 guests. 'The prospect of pews being filled with Nazi sympathisers was to be avoided at all costs'.
The 'English' royals changed their family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor only when the prospect of German Gotha bombers dropping ordnance on London during WW1 became too much to bear. (of course everyone knows that)
Walter, if you are reading this, I think you know me well enough not to assume from any of the above that I am anti German. I do have a problem with National Socialism however, and furthermore I want to elect my head of State. Unfortunately both Adolf Hitler and the British Royal Family are German!
