Um, you do know that the “House of Windsor” is more properly termed the “House of Saxe-Cobourg Gotha” right? QEII and Prince ChuckleHead are Germans by ethnicity.

"By ethnicity" how far back?

Do we have to relive the Norman Conquest all over, or can we concede that there is indeed a race today that can truly be called "English?"

Actually, Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, is from the House of Battenberg, which, in its anglicized form, is "Mountbatten." Prince Charles is actually a Mountbatten. The Queen is from Victoria's lineage -- Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
