    I think I have some German heritage also...my history is shaky but aren't some of the English kings essentially German?

    I vote in favor of leaving the royals alone. Have you ever seen an outpouring of the public like the one that followed the queen’s death? That, by itself, shows the value of the family to their nation. Sure ain’t anything like it in the US.

    Micromanaging generally doesnt turn out well. No point in having generals if they cant act on their own but it does happen with basically every country. There were also a number of Germans that were trying to sabotage what was happening that knew what was actually going on. But yea it is fortunate he made so many mistakes and massive ones. The Japanese and Pearl was a massively dumb move as well

    It's illegal to be critical of the funeral. Not trying to get into any debates but with their laws you will be arrested for anything negative with the it could offend someone laws so thats not really a good measure.

    Really, I thought there were many in England that were critics of the royal family.

    There's no law compelling you to go out and stand in line for hours, but an amazing number of people did.

    The Windsor monarchy is deeply rooted in German ancestry going back many centuries.

    True of course millions of people did in support no one would deny that. That doesnt change the fact that it was illegal to do otherwise giving a perception that was completely positive. All I was saying is that especially from the cant offend anyone laws that it just wasnt really the best measure on the peoples feelings overall

    There are some official Edward VIII coins, but they only have his name, no portraits.

    They weren’t named the Saxe-Coburg Gothas for nothing.
