Although some royals were well respected as individuals, the general opinion among their subjects was that they were too German for comfort and therefore too dangerous to be entrusted with the task of defending Britain from the machinations of the despicable “Hun” as Germans were frequently termed.
For a start, there was strong feeling among the British public that there had been far too many German marriages among the children and later descendants of Queen Victoria.

Prince Louis of Battenburg as Scapegoat
Anti-German hysteria reached such a pitch that eventually even the royals came within its range. Already, in 1914, Prince Louis of Battenburg, another of George V’s cousins, had been forced to resign as First Sea Lord because of his German heritage.
Prince Louis had, in fact, been a naturalized British citizen since 1868. As pre-War director of naval intelligence, commander of the Atlantic Fleet and First Sea Lord, he had given exemplary service to his adopted country. This, though, did not save him from public suspicion that he was a German spy. As a result, he had to go.
Victoria herself wed one such prince, Albert of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, in 1840. Among their nine children, four of their five daughters married Germans and two of their four sons did the same. As for Prince Albert, he was never fully accepted in Britain.

The Royal House of Hanover in Britain
It hardly helped, either, that the first King George and his son and successor in 1727, George II, reciprocated the disaffection of their British subjects.

George II in particular could hardly wait to return to his Electorate and the joy of getting away from the restrictions imposed on him by Britain’s semi-democratic Parliamentary system.
To complicate matters even further, the Hanoverian origins of the British Royal Family as it existed during World War I had been almost entirely Germanic over the previous two centuries. The Hanoverian royal line originated in Prussia, northern Germany, and seven generations later, in direct line of descent, George V was King of England, during World War I.
Too Many Germans in the Royal Family
The Kaiser himself became a major bogeyman in Britain Puma Shoes, clothed by popular fury - and newspaper cartoons - in wickedness and bloodlust. Popular reaction was virulent, so much so that dachsunds, the German sausage-dogs, were kicked in the street as they trotted past and anyone with a name that even sounded German was at risk of being violently attacked.
The mutual animosity between rulers and ruled never entirely faded away and though, two centuries later, the passage of time had “anglicized” the Royal Family, their German ties remained. They were so close that during World War I puma mihara, Wilhelm II, the German Kaiser, was George V’s first cousin, and other relatives were actually fighting on the German side.
The first Hanoverian monarch, George I, had been Elector of Hanover when he inherited the English throne in 1714. His right to succeed was based on his descent from a daughter of the Stewart King James I and he was, quite naturally, very Germanic in his attitudes and manner.
Germany did not become a unified country until 1871, but was instead a collection of small states, each with its own ruling family. Between them, these families produced a plethora of potential husbands and wives for other European royals.
