The royal line - who goes back to Alfred the Great (AD800 ca) have had a few bumps and bruces - and have changed families overt he last 1800 years that true - And the current royal family goes back to George 1 who was given the throne as the then english throne was made vacated - as the last of the Stuarts was thrown away because of their own ignorance and outright stupidity when it come to politics - and to their religion.. The last of the Stuarts was a die-hard Catholic, in a Protestants country - and he had also a flavor for young men at his court... Something that was bad enough - but also something that could have been locked the other way to.. But the fact that he was a secret chaotic - and more and more opened for the Catholic Church in England was something they just could handle.. or accept... So in turn and other first, they got a dutch king, who was more busy being in the Netherlands than in England - and then a german royal, who was chosen as the next thing, as he also had relationship with some of the english royal family.. George the 3 was the one who lost the american colonies - you might know him as the *** king George who doesn't liked the idea that the colonies in America should be given the right to have a voice in the Parliament.. Something I suspect he could kick his own ass over that idea... The current family, was given the title, after the older brother of the father to the current king, had chosen a divorced woman - an american in fact as his wife.. As the government - and the king was looking down each other, trying to get the other one to blink first - the then current king had to accept to lay down his crown - and to abdicate to his younger brother - who had never believed to be king, and was rather comfortable living as a "normal" person (or as normal as a royal could do in the 1930s..) with his family away from the hassle and bustle of royal mess.. one day he was a normal man, if so with royal lineage - the next day he was THE KING.. And the whole family changed from being one of many royal household, to be THE royal household..

Many can claim they have evidence that the current Royal line is not the rightfully royal - but it is rather difficult to document, and to get their right - Even here in Norway, we have a family, who claim they are direct ancestors to some of the last kings of the middle age royal linage in Norway - they say they even have documents to show it.. But they are not taking the crown for them - in fact they are subjects to the same King and Queen as the rest of us.. (Harald V of Norway and his Queen Sonja)
