That makes two of us - I don't understand why you brought up Native Americans (Indians) in the first place. America is a country of immigrants. England was conquered many times and morphed into what it is today. But the whole POINT of Royalty is succession whereas presidents are elected and not related.

EDITOOO: I don't know where did you get the Hapsburgs.
"With Elizabeth's accession, it seemed probable that the royal house would bear her husband's name, becoming the House of Mountbatten, in line with the custom of a wife taking her husband's surname on marriage. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Elizabeth's grandmother, Queen Mary, favoured the retention of the House of Windsor, and so on 9 April 1952 Elizabeth issued a declaration that Windsor would continue to be the name of the royal house. The Duke complained, "I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children."[57] In 1960, after the death of Queen Mary in 1953 and the resignation of Churchill in 1955, the surname Mountbatten-Windsor was adopted for Philip and Elizabeth's male-line descendants who do not carry royal titles."
"The House of Windsor is the royal house of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. It was founded by King George V by royal proclamation on 17 July 1917, when he changed the name of the British Royal Family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a branch of the House of Wettin) to the English Windsor, due to the anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I.[1] The most prominent member of the House of Windsor is its head, Queen Elizabeth II, who is the reigning monarch of 16 Commonwealth realms."

Blah blah - whatever, the last paragraph you posted shows I got the overall POINT right. Don't be so pedantic, a very British trait btw. Very nit-picky people the Brits.
The Windsors be GERMANS baby GERMANS!!!
(I hope everyone knows I am just fucking around here. I really love Brits - but not the Royals. Why? Because they be GERMANS baby!)
