http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Windsor
Quote:The House of Windsor is the royal house of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. It was founded by King George V by royal proclamation on 17 July 1917, when he changed the name of his family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a branch of the House of Wettin) to the English Windsor, due to the anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I.
Funny thing is, if Germany where to reinterduce the monarchy not a single native German could apply for the throne.
The Hohenzoller line is dead, no one would want to live under a Bavarian monarch and the last Hannovarians are in Britain.
So a German monarch would be British, Swedish or Norwegian.
We have alot of turks and persians in our political arena, not alot of others do.
