Please tell everyone on FR, why is 'the King' German? Having a German-sounding family surname isn't the same thing as being German. It's like saying Buraq Obama Muhammed 'ZionKiller-Jihad' Hussein isn't American. Ok, bad example.
They're all krauts. Here's a lineage chart through 1066 for the Kings.

And then there's this flap:
<Please,please, please stop referrring to the 'British monarchy' as 'English'. There hasn't been a English monarch since 1066. First there were Norman French, then Angevin French, then Welsh , the Scots, then Dutch, then German... leading us to the current lot, the Saxe-Coburg Gotha's, whoops sorry I meant 'Windsor'...
