The Brits do not go "mad" for the royals, I don't understand where you get that from but yes, many of us are protective of them but its nothing like the cult of celebrity you guys have over there. And look up the houses of European royals and you'll see that they are all interconnected so there is little point in harping on about them being German, Queen Elizabeth has family ties with previous houses too.
Keep going, your American understanding of British history is hysterical!

OK I will keep going:
William the Conquerer came from.....class? Brittany. Which is where, exactly? Class? FRANCE. (OK, to be fair, he REALLY came from his Viking heritage, who settled Brittany and other parts of coastal France a few hundred years earlier but I will leave the nit-picking to the Brits).
England or Britain? Hmmm....who bloody cares. it's all the same fooking ISLAND yo. LOL
And if the French did not impose their language onto the British Royal court then HOW did they adopt it? Because Brits love all things French so much?
And of course all the Royal Houses are interbred and interconnected. It's what we Americans hate so much about Royalty to begin with (so un-Democratic and snooty, thinking they are better than everyone else and therefore can only inter-breed, thereby producing jugheaded freaks like Prince Charles). This doesn't change the embarrassing FACT that they (the British Royals) had to change their GERMAN surname during WWI. How droll!
Game. Set. Match. Cheers!
