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.

Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister of the UK, is semi-Dutch. So we more or less own that island, like we used to own New York, Brasil, Indonesia, South Africa...to name a few.
