queen's speech

the Queen would have been born Princess Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg Gotha,

And what difference would that of made ? :) She was still born in London (at last looking it was still in UK ;)) thereby making her a British Citizen. Her Mum (Queen Mary) & Dad (King George v) both born in London too making her at least 2nd generation British/English. The following generations for good or bad have also been born in UK making them 3rd & 4th Generations of British/English. So most of the German bloodline has been diluted.

Nothing.

Just pointing out, if they hadn't made up a name, that would have been her name at birth.

As already stated, they have made an effort to integrate into society, and have very nearly mastered the English language too.
 
Her Mum (Queen Mary) & Dad (King George v)

Her mother was a Scot, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.

Her granny was Queen Mary, formerly Princess Mary of Teck...in Germany, and her father was George VI. Who would have been born Prince George of Saxe-Coburg Gothe, if they hadn't invented the name Windsor.

;)

:D
 
Mentioned before, but sort of relevant.

My great Uncle, Cllr. Joe Aspinall, used to get into trouble because he'd never stand for God Save the Queen, being a staunch republican. Even at Buckingham Palace, which he was forced to attend, when Chairman of the old Ossy Urban Council.

I was once at a concert at the Barbican, when some lacky announced 'Would we be pleased be upstanding for Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent'.

Guess who was the only person to remain, seated, even though the former hairdresser and daughter of a leading Nazi, was sat in the seat directly infront of me?

Don't know where I get it from.

:rolleyes:
