There are also members of his family who have had not so private love for the Nazi's and Hitler - His Great Great Uncle (the queens uncle) and it caused quite a bit of embarrassment for the royal family at the time.
It was during the first world war when the royals changed their name to the current windsor. They were known as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which was 'too German' for them. They were falling all over themselves trying to be "English" at the time.
So I think the royals would be EXTRA sensitive to this....
