"No, they were not the British royal family." - LOL. It's not just Britain, royal families all over Europe often needed "reseeding" from abroad as need dictate

"No, they were not the British royal family." - LOL. It's not just Britain, royal families all over Europe often needed "reseeding" from abroad as need dictated and the family trees got quite intertwined as a result. During the "Great War" of 1914-1918 King George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II were all cousins. To be fair, parts of my family tree get a little ahem complicated and resemble bushes. Nowadays, our royals are branching out and diluting the blood in a very healthy move. Gawd bless em all.
