You really do get bothered by the fact your British monarchy is German, don't you? Aren't you a little surprised Prince William and Kate were actually related, or is that normal to you?

The royal families name before Windsor was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (German). The name was adopted by King George V in 1917 due to the negative German sentiment that was prevalent in the UK during and after the First World War.

Place the queen as your starting point,now research her direct descendancy ,let me know at which point you find a German born relative and who it is.When you do this research,if you can be bothered to do it at all (or just accept what people tell you) let me know who you found it to be.
I put this to your mate Hybrid on another thread.....strangely enough he didnt get back to me.

The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that is a perfect rhyme with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant)
orange has half-rhymes too: the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary gives lozenge as a half-rhyme for orange

The best before date on any packet of crisps is always a Saturday.
The fruit Orange used to be called a Norange, which rhymes with Orange.

Silver does not rhyme with anything and Purple is a tough one.
