Prince Philip (Queen's husband) family is loaded with Nazi ties
His sisters were married to Nazi officers
It's why they weren't at his wedding
No sauce, I just know this off the top of my head
Also his family was Greek royalty
His mother renounced everything to become a Greek Orthodox nun, lived out her life in poverty
OK some sauce

Much of his family relocated to Germany following their removal from Greece. His sister, Margarita, married Prince Gottfried of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, who fought for Germany in World War II. He did, however, later turn against Hitler and was even implicated in a 1944 plot to assassinate him.
Philip’s sister Sophie, however, had more direct ties to the Nazis. She married an SS colonel, Prince Christoph of Hesse. And her son has claimed that she spoke fondly of Hitler as a “charming and modest man.”
Finally, his sister Cecile joined Hitler’s political party the year before she died (and there was a noticeable Nazi presence at her funeral). Despite these familiar ties, Philip himself had no connection to the Nazi party, despite having been photographed with them at Cecile’s funeral.

He's a one-man quote machine:
"In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation" (1988)
Most people don't know this:
"German Americans (German: Deutschamerikaner) are Americans who have full or partial German ancestry. With an estimated size of approximately 44 million in 2016, German Americans are the largest of the ancestry groups reported by the US Census Bureau in its American Community Survey.[1] The group accounts for about one third of the total ethnic German population in the world."
