Whenever the British Press wants to attack the Royal Family, they make a jibe about â??their foreign rootsâ?. The Royalsâ?? as they sayâ?? 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 â??imagined communityâ?, invented by journalists and historians?

The Royal Archives at Windsor gave the authorsâ?? among others John Röhl, doyen of 19th century monarchical history â?? open access to Royal correspondences with six German houses: Hanover, Prussia, Mecklenburg, Coburg, Hesse and Battenberg.
Die britische Presse hält ihrem Königshaus gern seine "ausländischen Wurzeln" vor. Die Royals seien "simply a posh version of German invaders". Aber beeinflussten deutsche Verwandte jemals Entscheidungen eines britischen Monarchen oder ist das bloß eine "eingebildete Gemeinschaft", erfunden von Journalisten und Historikern? Die Royal Archives in Windsor gewährten den Autoren- darunter John Röhl, Doyen der "monarchical history" - vollen Zugang zur königlichen Korrespondenz mit sechs deutschen Adelshäusern: Hannover, Preußen, Mecklenburg, Coburg, Hessen und Battenberg.
