Considering that they are such a British institution the British Royal family may not be as British as you think. In fact it is often said that the Windsors are in fact mostly German. While they are descended from the German house of Hanover that’s not quite the whole story. Several women and two men of various nationality have married British monarchs meaning Queen Elizabeth and her heirs Prince Charles and Prince William have quite an interesting genealogy. Let’s investigate where the branches on the royal family tree came from.
