yes, edward VIII abdicated to marry an american. wasn't so much that she was a yank, but that she was a serial divorcee, bit of a floozy, and perhaps two-timing him on the side.
"A whore! A whore! My kingdom for a whore!!" sorry, couldn't resist. anyway, she didn't quite make it in to the family, so she doesn't count. anyone else? |

To quote the article referenced about Queen Charlotte:

Personally I find Markle unattractive. Harry isnt really known to me too much and his personal taste wont effect my view of him if he were to ever become more relevant to Americans. |

At least they would be going old-school royalty. Apparently a study of her genealogy shows they are distantly related...

I honestly do not understand the State's fascination with the royal family. They are just for show, and we spent all that effort to get away from the British monarchs. A real life soap opera, perhaps? Just an interest in royalty because we do not have that (not officially)? I am only old enough to remember how crazy Americans were for Princess Diana, and though she was a wonderful person by all accounts, I just didn't get it. |

I think their lineage of who's next is weird. Why would the first son's kids skip the second son? its basically saying ''if you arent a first child, your never getting to rule'' I just see them as a image of how the world once was. Unlike Royal families of the past (or less important ones today) they seem to generally be decent hearted. |

As far as the lineage, I guess that as odd as it is, it is just the way most monarchies around the world and throughout history have been. Only difference now is Britain will allow a single female to rise to power, so there is no pressure to have a male heir. Though apparently still no Catholics allowed. |
