Wasn't the late Prince Phillip (QE2's husband) from Germany?
Born in Greece, patrilineal lineage was Greek and Danish, mother was from Battenberg (in Germany). He was in the line of succession to both the Greek and Danish thrones, but that didn't work out.

In the rest of it, did any of them say that it was because of Trump?
