Yes, I know but the monarchy was imported and never intermarried with anyone who was ethnically Greek. People here tend to say the Queen is German, but if one says that then Phillip is German. If we use nationality alone then the Queen is English and he is Greek. I know it gets a bit sloppy but when the Queen is called German we are really discussing the family tree and interrelationships among royal houses. The Queen's father was of Hanoverian and Saxe Coburg descent - he married a Scottish noblewoman, finally injecting some British blood into the lline. Prince William was the first royal born in a couple of hundred years who had English blood. Phillip and hid line is absolutely pure North German. That's all I mean.
