I know he’s mostly Kraut but so are the Anglo-Saxons!
If he used Arthur (one of his middle names) for his royal cognomen he would be doing a Celt wannabe thing!

True, and they did come from a noble house from Saxony, so there is a connection there. But the Angles were quite a bit different, closer to the Nordics than most German tribes. Oddly enough, English is closest to Flemish nowadays, which isn’t much related to either the Saxons or the Angles. I guess it just happened because the Flemish are in close geographic proximity, right across the English channel, so they maintained close contact and trade with the English.

I bet he goes with Arthur too. It would stroke his narcissistic ego, and he loves the Welsh, taking that “Prince of Wales” honorary title very seriously.
