==================

Some geneologists consider "European Royalty" to be an ethnicity that dates back 1200 years to King Charlemagne. They behave like any other ethnic group principally in that they only married one another until the 20th century (with a few exceptions).

By this standard Queen Elizabeth is

38.77% "European Royalty"

38.77% English (from her mother)

6.25% Transylvanian (with three different bloodlines from Dracula)

6.25% Anglo- Irish (people who lived in Ireland but retained English ethnicity)

3.76% French

2.88% German

-- etc. (small percentages)

Prince Phillip is

77.49% "European Royalty"

13.33% German

-- etc. (small percentages)

Phillip's ethnic "European Royalty" ancestors ruled in Denmark, Greece, and Russia.

Although Phillip was born a Prince of Greece, he does not have any Greek ethnicity for at least 20 generations. If you go back 20-45 generations you would find all kinds of ancestors. The Queen would have Jewish ancestors. She is is also descended from the Prophet Mohammed, and from Chinese emperors. If you go back far enough over 100's of generations we are all descendants of Africans. Normally to get an ethnicity you would not go back more than a dozen generations at absolute most.
