The “Windsors” are not a traditional British royal family, but rather a cleverly marketed rebranding from World War I. Until 1917, the royals were still called Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, clearly German.
Under pressure from anti-German agitation, George V dropped the name and quickly chose “Windsor,” after the venerable castle. With the stroke of a pen, the royals went from being German immigrants to supposedly quintessentially English monarchs. It was a PR coup that saved the crown and continues to uphold its British fairy-tale facade to this day.
👉 History is sometimes nothing more than a successful marketing campaign.
@Kuenga Mary of Tec had to work really hard to establish herself as not too German during WWI. Of course, the German line came from the Georgian era when George I was the next in line after the last Stuart, Anne, died without heirs. He was a cousin from earlier in the Stuart line. Since WWI, our monarchy has probably been part of the globalist agenda that we're living in now.
