Prince Charles of Hesse and by Rhine (23 April 1809 - 20 March 1877) was the second surviving son of Louis II, Grand Duke of Hesse and Wilhelmine of Baden.In 1836, Charles married Princess Elisabeth of Prussia (1815 - 1885), daughter of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (brother of Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia) and Maria Anna of Hesse-Homburg. They were unhappy together as Charles preferred life in the military to spending time with his family. (Hesse is a central German state known for forests and Wiesbaden, a Roman spa town and now the state's capital city. Amid the skyscrapers of Frankfurt am Main, the state's largest city and Germany's financial center,) (Baden is a historical territory in South Germany and North Switzerland, on both sides of the Upper Rhine.) (Prussia was a historically prominent German state that originated in 1525 with a duchy centred on the region of Prussia on the southeast coast of the Baltic.)(Homberg is a small town in the northern part of Hesse, a state in central Germany, with about 15,000 inhabitants. It is the seat of the Schwalm-Eder district.) No Nazis yet, just supplying a lot of German relatives.
On 19 March 1877, Queen Victoria received a telegram from her daughter Alice, wife of Charles' son Louis, saying that they "feared the worst". The following evening, news reached the Queen from Alice that Charles had "passed away quite peacefully after 6."
Edward as Prince of Wales, 1919, became king of Great Britain on January 20, 1936.
Edward, who was king for a year, married twice-divorced American Wallis Simson in France on 3 June 1937, after abdicating. In October 1937, the Duke and Duchess visited Nazi Germany, against the advice of the British government, and met Adolf Hitler at his Berghof retreat in Bavaria. The visit was much publicized by the German media.
During the visit the Duke gave full Nazi salutes. In Germany, "they were treated like royalty ...Edward VIII (Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David; 23 June 1894 – 28 May 1972) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire, and Emperor of India from 20 January 1936 until his abdication in December of the same year. As soon as he was free and become a mere Duke, he went to Germany the very next year and showed favoritism to the Nazis.
It seems that Nazis have courted English titled and royalty. During the Second World War, Edward was at first stationed with the British Military Mission to France, but after private accusations that he was a Nazi sympathiser, he was appointed Governor of the Bahamas. After the war, Edward spent the rest of his life in France. He and Wallis remained married until his death in 1972. Wallis died 14 years later.
Crown Prince Wilhelm son of Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II
Wilhelm, German Crown Prince, Crown Prince of Prussia was the eldest child and heir of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II, and the last Crown Prince of the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.
Beginning in 1925, some members of higher levels of the German nobility joined the Nazi Party, registered by their title, date of birth, NSDAP Party registration number, and date of joining the Nazi Party, from the registration of their first prince (Ernst) into NSDAP in 1928, until the end of World War II in 1945.The name "Edward" was chosen in honour of Edward's late uncle Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, who was known within the family as "Eddy" (Edward being among his given names); "Albert" was included at the behest of Queen Victoria for her late husband Albert, Prince Consort; "Christian" was in honour ...
At the time, Britain held the 30 year mandate over Palestine as of 1918. They were busy allowing Arabs in the country and keeping Jews out. A statement by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour recommending “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people".
Emir Feisal and Chaim Weizmann Agreement (January 3, 1919)
An agreement between Emir Feisal ibn Hussein of Mecca and Chaim Weizman, President of the World Zionist Organization to encourage Jewish immigration to Palestine as well as to provide safeguards for the rights of the indigenous community. This agreement was conditioned upon Britain and France upholding their promise to establish an independent Arab state in Syria. Feisal went on to become king of Syria and Iraq, but not both at the same time.
Philip, circled, at a funeral in Germany in 1937, with family members in Nazi uniform at age 16. But as we learn more about Prince Philip's family tree, we also learn that he was also a man dealing with trauma; the trauma left after a turbulent childhood that involved the mental ill health of his mother, the cruelty of his father, the death of a beloved sister, the fleeing of Greece after the royal family were toppled and the misery of World War Two (three of Philip’s sisters married prominent Nazis).
In 1947, Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II), heir presumptive to King George VI, married Philip Mountbatten (born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark), a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, a branch of the House of Oldenburg which was a German family. He was born: June 10, 1921, Mon Repos Estate, Corfu, Greece. Although typically seen as British today, Philip was born as Prince of Greece and Denmark. This dual title was reflected in his name. He was christened ‘Philippos’ but he belonged to the Danish-German House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
In 1933 Philip’s second sister Theodora reappeared in his life and set him down the path towards a different education and introduced him to a significant mentor: Kurt Hahn. Theodora had married Berthold, Margrave of Baden whose father had been Imperial Germany’s last chancellor. Hahn had been the chancellor’s personal secretary and knew the family, but he was also a committed educationalist. He was Jewish and a German patriot who had been involved in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. He had been so upset at the Allied treatment of post-war Germany that he helped to coin the term, ‘Kriegsschuldluge’ (‘The lie of war guilt’). Ironically, the deeply anti-Semitic Nazi Party would use this message as an explosive slogan for revenge and rearmament, which was not Hahn’s intention.
In 1920 he and the Baden family founded a school at Schloss Salem in Baden-Württemberg and it was here that Theodora sent Philip in autumn 1933. It was an anxious time to move to Germany as Adolf Hitler had recently come to power. He had only been in office for a few months but it was enough to create political tensions, with Hahn himself being arrested for protesting against the Nazis. For Philip the move was bad timing and his brother-in-law admitted, “He wasn’t really integrated into the community. He had little opportunity to make real friends, and he spoke very little German. He was really very isolated.” In a sinister twist the Nazis promoted the Hitler Youth Movement within the school, where participants would use the Nazi salute. Philip apparently laughed at this, as the salute was the same gesture that the boys at Schloss Salem used to indicate that they wanted to go to the toilet. (First they learned the salute for the toilet, then for Nazi reasons-conditioned to use it). Philip went to Britain in 1934 and attended school there.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, AKA Haj Amin al-Husseini, visited Hitler in Germany in 1941. In a German propaganda newsreel, the former Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husayni, an Arab nationalist and prominent Muslim religious leader, meets Hitler for the first time. During the meeting, held in in the Reich chancellery, Hitler declined to grant al-Husayni’s request for a public statement--or a secret but formal treaty--in which Germany would: 1) pledge not to occupy Arab land, 2) recognize Arab striving for independence, and 3) support the “removal” of the proposed Jewish homeland in Palestine. The Führer confirmed that the “struggle against a Jewish homeland in Palestine” would be part of the struggle against the Jews. Hitler stated that: he would “continue the struggle until the complete destruction of Jewish-Communist European empire”; and when the German army was in proximity to the Arab world, Germany would issue “an assurance to the Arab world” that “the hour of liberation was at hand.” It would then be al-Husayni’s “responsibility to unleash the Arab action that he has secretly prepared.” The Führer stated that Germany would not intervene in internal Arab matters and that the only German “goal at that time would be the annihilation of Jewry living in Arab space under the protection of British power.”
During the period 1921–1936 he was considered an important ally by the authorities. During the year of 1936 Edward was king, he would have known about
the Grand Mufti. Amin al-Husseini became involved in Arab resistance to Zionism. After the British took control of Palestine following the end of World War I, he organized rallies against the Balfour Declaration. One of his speeches, on April 4, 1920, fanned the flames of anti-Jewish sentiment, resulting in violent riots. When the dust settled after four days, five Jews and four Arabs were dead. Another 211 Jews and 33 Arabs were left wounded.
Fearing arrest for his share in instigating the riots, al-Husseini fled to Syria. Indeed, a British military court sentenced him to ten years in prison. However, the British pardoned him, making way for his return to Jerusalem. Just months later, following his brother’s death, British High Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel crowned Amin al-Husseini as mufti of Jerusalem. When the Supreme Muslim Council was established a year later, he became president, earning the title of grand mufti.
The British believed that appointing the young al-Husseini as grand mufti, the highest religious office, was a way to maintain peace in Jerusalem. It was Sir Herbert Samuel who appointed Husseini as Grand Mufti, a Jew. Samuel wasn't royalty but was titled.
In a memorandum dated April 11, 1921, Sir Herbert Samuel reported on a conversation with the proposed grand mufti: Husseini lied when he declared that “He gave assurance that the influence of his family and himself would be devoted to maintaining tranquility in Jerusalem and he felt sure that no disturbances need be feared this year. He said that the riots of last year were spontaneous and unpremeditated.” Husseini led the 1929 riots throughout Palestine.
However the British royals feel toward a situation affects the mood of its citizens, and they usually copy their royal family's feelings. They have gone along with whatever their kings and queens have done, otherwise their would be no more ruling royal families. At least they have a prime minister who can change the course to suit the people if necessary. The Royals will no doubt continue on.

They would be ousted like Germany did. The Monarch of Germany was created with the proclamation of the President of the North German Confederation and the King of Prussia, William I of Prussia, as "German Emperor" during the Franco-Prussian War, on 18 January 1871 at the Palace of Versailles. Despite the abolition of the monarchy in 1918 after losing WWI, the House of Hohenzollern never relinquished their claims to the thrones of Prussia and the German Empire. These claims are linked by the Constitution of the German Empire: according to this, whoever was King of Prussia was also German Emperor. However, these claims are not recognized by the Federal Republic of Germany or anyone else, this included the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and West or East Germany.
England had received the 30 year mandate over Palestine at the end of WWI. Their job was to help to create the Jewish National Home. Palestine was cut down to size so that the Jews received 10% of the original size expected. One just has to wonder, for at this time, WWII was developing, caused by the Nazi Party of Germany. England has been the USA's natural ally, with our history (not too good), but speaking the same language. England did keep Jews out of their country, though from 1290 to 1655 (365 Years). They had developed their own prejudices towards Jews.
Today, things have changed for the better. Both England and Germany are friends of Israel. May it never change.
