A pedantic point, ooh-aah, the English Monarchy ceased to exist after the Union of Scotland and England in 1707. Actually James the Sixth of Scotland was known as James the First of Great Britain after the Union of Crowns in 1603. George the II was German anyway. It is an interesting point that America gained her independence about 80 years after England lost hers.
