What's your point exactly? That she's a decedent of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert? And even then Queen Victoria belonged to the House of Hanover - another German house.

My point is that the UK was, and had been for generations, ruled by Germans and they changed their name to avoid to association with them in the wake of WWI.

But, the Anglo-Saxons are Germanic. And the Normans were Nordic-French. So...... how far back on generations do we want to play here....

When has the UK ever been ruled by a British house?

My point is that where a House originates from really doesn't matter. WWI anti-German sentiment ran pretty deep.
