Miss Middleton is Church of England, didn’t you hear that she changed when she got engaged? I think she was Roman Catholic wasn’t she? Anyway she is definitely not a follower of Judaism.

I sincerely hope that Kate will be able to cope with Brenda (granny). Surely, a drop of Jewish blood can only strengthen the Saxe Coburg/Gotha bloodline.

Neither the present Duchess of Cambridge nor Prince William are anything but Church of England.  Neither has any Jewish blood in their known ancestry.  To propose it is preposterous.

The only unusual thing to be found is in Diana’s ancestry.  She was one sixty-fourth Armenian through her mother’s Forbes.

End of topic.

“Neither the present Duchess of Cambridge nor Prince William are anything but CoE… The only unusual thing to be found is in Diana’s ancestry.  She was one sixty-fourth Armenian through her mother’s Forbes.”

Actually Philip, William’s zeyde, was not CoE, but was born Greek Orthodox.

At least those who, like Rachel, dream of British Jewish royalty can take comfort in the yiddishkeit of British comic royalty, such as Peter Sellers and Sacha B. Cohen, who are only slightly less humourous than the yuckmeisters over in Buckingham Palace.

The British Royal family’s house name was originally Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The House of Windsor name did not surface until the WWI-era, when an Order-in-Council of King George V opted to drop Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to keep the British public from connecting them to their German counterparts. The name Windsor was taken from one of the King’s castles. In essence, these incestuous inbreds are Royal frauds.

Kate Middleton had to have a second baptism, just before her marriage.
It was said it was because she was to marry someone who would become the Head of the Church of England…but I wonder if anyone with NO Jewish ancestry would have had to do this…...The fact that the now-Duchess has had NO Jewish upbringing doesn’t bother me. She -like Elizabeth II—is NOT anti-Semitic, and THAT’S what counts to me.
(An article here states that a guard at Buckingham Palace was BARRED from the Royal Wedding because of an anti-Semitic remark! Earlier, the Queen allowed the chief rabbi of London to use his Kosher chef in the royal kitchens! (Holocaust victims did NOT die in vain!)...King Simeon II of Bulgaria, (still living), prevented many Jewish deaths in WWII.
I am very glad that ALL religions seem to be accorded respect by MOST of those in power, in 2011…and hopefully, forever!

King Simeon II, (mentioned above), has some Jewish ancestry, for, as stated in “The Pictorial History of the Jewish People”, Bulgaria had a Jewish queen in the Middle Ages.  The Countess of Rose, (Anthony Armstrong-Jone’s mother), has some Jewish ancestry, as does
Princess Anne’s current husband.  Anti-semites in Britain and elsewhere murmer about this—but they can do nothing to stop it. Princess Margaret may have been anti-semitic in her youth….but it appears she saw sense later on.  And so does the “hardest-working royal”, Princess Anne, who obviously cares nothing of wagging tongues! Whether someone is Jewish or not doesn’t bother me—all I ask is, if they aren’t Jewish, that they not be anti-Semites.  Amongst the powerful of the world, it seems my wish has mostly been granted.
Again…Holocaust victims
—who showed the world where hatred can lead—did not die in vain.  I pray for, and thank them, every day!

Following “Dr’s” comment….  For those who don’t know, “Brenda” was the name given to Queen Elizabeth II in a satire on the English monarchy sometime in 1970s-1990s.

Dear Rachel Leibold:

What is a ‘MOT’?

MOT - Member of the tribe
ie Jewish
Hope thats right!

she can always convert…

Its strange for me that she is Jew.I think Jews are very Powerful so people may convert to Jewish.

I am a Goldsmith.  My family arrived in America and settled in Maryland in the 1600’s.  We arrived a Catholic family on a land grant.  My ancestor served as King Charles II’s physician.  The Goldsmith family in England was an old, catholic family.  I’m sure, through the generations, many joined the Church of England.  I think it’s best remembered that Jesus Christ was a Jew..so we all probably have a little MOT in the background.
