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?

The Royal Archives at Windsor gave the authors- among others John Roehl, doyen of 19th century monarchical history - open access to Royal correspondences with six German houses: Hanover, Prussia, Mecklenburg, Coburg, Hesse and Battenberg.
