I agree with George, England is a typo. The article is full of inaccuracies. The Queen’s husband is described as a Greek, when he is a cousin of the Queen, and like her primarily of German ancestry. Being from a family that were once the foreign overlords of Greece doesn’t make him a Greek.
This is my idea of self-important and irritating.
