S'okay =) I don't know if I saw that exact show, but I did see something about the queen not being of English heritage. Didn't the crown go to some distant Scandinavian relatives or something?

Even though I'm British, I am actually English, though possibly not 100 percent, as my mum did some genetic Dna testing and found she was 3% sub saharan african 7% native american, and 90% european.

The "British" Royal Family are mainly of German descent,real family names being
Saxe-Coburg -Gotha and Battenburg.Prince Philip also has Greek ancestry.

It's not something I'd hold against them anyway,given that the British peoples' heritage is mainly a mixture of Germanic (Anglo-Saxon,Norse,Danish,Flemish),Franco-Norse (Norman) and Celtic (Scottish,Irish,Welsh,Cornish). The English language is dominated by words of Latin and Greek origin.
You can tell that my interests include history,geography and languages :) . I find that
nowadays the world is becoming more and more integrated,which is probably a good thing as
national sterotypes can be misleading.
