William of Orange has zero connection with the present royal family.
Elizabeth II is of the House of Wettin, through Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert.
They are Germans from Hanover (through Sophia), Germans from Teck (through Mary Princess of Teck), consort to George V; Germans through Oldenburg (Prince Philip).
Many people believe all the stories they read in the newspapers and gossip magazines. After Charles and Diana divorced the media was very hard on Charles. The nasty stories apparently sold newspapers.
AMEN.
