Summary: |
Die britische Presse h lt ihrem K nigshaus gern seine ausl ndischen Wurzeln vor. Die Royals seien simply a posh version of German invaders . Aber beeinflussten deutsche Verwandte jemals Entscheidungen eines bri Whenever the British Press wants to attack the Royal Family, they make a jibe about their foreign roots . The Royals as they say are simply a posh version of German invaders. But did German relatives really influence decisions made by any British monarchs or are they just an imagined community , invented by journalists and historians? The Royal Archives at Windsor gave the authors among others John R hl, doyen of 19th century monarchical history open access to Royal correspondences with six German houses: Hanover, Prussia, Mecklenburg, Coburg, Hesse and Battenberg. |
