Uk shout of mass immigration, where did it start?

[rachellynn1972]

It is sad to hear this, if you think about immigration this way, then know where it started from, moreover they have been very good people. If you insult immigration you insult the royal family.

Although Royals don't tend to use a last name, in the instance of a marriage, for example, Prince William's last name is Mountbatten-Windsor. This is the surname of all descendents of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II excluding females who marry.

The name Mountbatten-Windsor derives from the Royal surname Windsor, decided in 1917 by George V. Before this, the Royal surname was technically Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Germany), but due to anti-German sentiment after WWI, the decision was made to change the royal surname to Windsor.

In 1960, the Queen and Prince Philip decided to create a surname for their direct descendants, incorporating the surnames 'Windsor' and Prince Philip's previous surname, 'Mountbatten'.

Therefore, Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname of all male, and unmarried female descendents of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II including Charles, William and Harry.

What a load of cobblers. By the way did you know Prince Philip was Greek?

the royal family's surname should actually be Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. it was only changed to Windsor by King George V due to anti-german sentiments....

you'll also find that the British Royal family has many links with other European royalty.
