Meghan Markle
Posted by: TOBYJUG on 27 November 2017
Yes, I can not believe it but I am opening a thread about our Meghan. Since no one else has bothered I take that as maybe a hint that no ones bothered or that everyone's got their head in the sand.
I don't really want to invite criticism of royal spectacle, but would be interested in what others think. To me it reminds me of hifi that looks great on paper but disappointing when auditioned.

Not historically accurate, I'm afraid. The Haus Hannover ruled in Great Britain & Ireland from 1714 until 1901. Edward VII was - through his father Albert - a member of the Haus Saschen-Coburg Und Gotha and the line continues (though not in name) through to the current Queen, although there's not a great deal of "German blood" in the younger Royals these days.
Oh, I dunno about that ........
1. Some Germans.
2. Someone else.

And that Mountbatten does not come from Battenberg?
They are all Germans.
Edward VII married a Dane, his son George V married a German, his son George VI married a Scot, his daughter married a Greco-Dane, her son married an Englishwoman, and his son married another Englishwoman.
That Teutonic essence is getting pretty diluted... unless you think the Danes and the Germans are one and the same (ever since 1864, I don't think there are many Danes who think that)

Nah, but they are REALLY good at it.............

But have you ever seen the Russians or Poles? Having spent time in both countries, they must be world champs...

Seeing that I live in Warsaw, I should say I've certainly 'seen some action' .........
Maybe you've hit the nail on the head here, Harry obviously has some of the late Tsar's blood !!

Personally I'd nominate the Fins, having seen on more than a few occasions paralytic Finnish blokes being guided back home on all fours by their women-folk after one of the regular meet-ups at a convenient half-way point in rural areas, where the sole purpose is to down a bottle or four of vodka. It's quite normal. Or was, a few years ago.

Danish, German, Greek, soon American and worst of all Scottish () .Considering the multi-cultural aspect of our beloved Royal Family then, this must have been FAKE NEWS !!
Just like Remainers said.
