I'm half English

Well, then you're more English than Lizzie Windsor (actually Battenberg --"Mountbatten" as anglicized --is her married name, nee von Saxe-Coeburg-Gotha -- Windsor as anglicized). I don't think there's much 'English' in any of the Windsors except for the Spencer blood Diana brought in to the young princes.

The Queen Mother was English, I believe, certainly moreso than anyone in the family she married into. Prince Philip may be half-Greek by ancestry and not just by family residence. The family is a mishmosh, but they are mostly German with English contributions by the Queen Mother and Princess Diana.
