Still cracks me up that the British royal family's real name is "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha". The original trans-national predatory billionaire class.

@bill_tribble I'm always amused how many "TRADITION!!!" flag-shaggers never question that the current king, and his siblings, all took their mother's surname rather than their father's

(who had also changed his name to something More English-Sounding before getting married)
