Whenever the British Press wants to attack the Royal Family, they make a jibe about "their foreign roots". The Royals- as they say- are simply a posh version of German invaders. But did German relatives really influence decisions made by any British monarchs or are they just an "imagined community", invented by journalists and historians?
