The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg Gotha

by Tobias Schwarz

A week after Queen Elisabeth II’s fourth state visit to Germany The Times is stunned that Germans hailed her as one of them (story including statements by the inevitable Nazi), while The Independent takes its readers on a detailed journey through time, attempting to uncover the exact extent to which the Windsors may in fact still be the Saxe-Coburg Gothas (links via Viewropa). Reassuring note to British readers: there’s no need to burn your 1918-1945-1966 t-shirt ;)

    Well, that was the oddest Nazi I ever heard from. Now my brother’s schizophrenic grandfather-in-law — he talks like a REAL Nazi. My brother’s glad he doesn’t understand German.
