A CIA retiree asked me who the family of the Queen was. I said "Saxe-Coburg." He corrected me: You forgot one region and family. It's the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha." He said this with such emphasis, that knowing him for years, I know he was trying to point me in the direction of an answer to a question I didn't know enough to ask.
The Queen was not simply German at a time when the UK went to war with Germany. It was more than that. The royal house was not English anymore. It has been replaced, then badly anglified to an absurd caricature. I was intrigued to find that anything Fritz Springmeier wrote my retired CIA friend had a copy - battered, thoroughly poured over copies of it anything FS wrote, per my friend's professional duties. The CIA took FS very seriously at a time when I found it hard to take in long before Q. Fritz was on the case, apparently. Few online resources go beyond the surface:
"Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was an Ernestine duchy ruled by a branch of the House of Wettin, consisting of territories in the present-day states of Bavaria and Thuringia in Germany. It lasted from 1826 to 1918. In November 1918, Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was forced to abdicate. Saxe (Gotha) was subsequently merged into Thuringia, whereas Coburg merged into Bavaria."

Those specific areas of Germany were heavily Rothschild at that point, then they died out and merged. Not before becoming the British Royal family.
