| Mar 4, 2021 at 0:22 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | The last British Sovereign born in Germany was George II. Of Queen Viktoria (who was born in London) 9 children, all but 1 was born in Buckingham Palace in London, with 1 born at Windsor Castle. Edward VII 7 children and George V 6 children were also born in England. The last portion of this answer is therefore misleading. | |

| Mar 3, 2021 at 20:21 | comment | added | John Strachan | Yes, just like Matt Le Tissier and Greame Le Saux being from Jersey were eligible to play for any of the WISE nations. But that is besides the point. Fact is, they are English now. They were a bit more German in the past, regardless of where they were born. | |
| Mar 3, 2021 at 20:18 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | Yes, but under those conditions, Prince Charles would be eligible to play for Greece or Scotland as a British citizen. | |
| Mar 3, 2021 at 20:13 | comment | added | John Strachan | @Mark Johnson I have removed it. However he would be applicable via his grandmother. Whilst she was born in UK, being born in a country stopped being the only criteria a long time ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Alice_of_Battenberg | |

Prince Charles father was born in Greece. I fail to why Prince Charles would be eligible to play football/soccer for Germany by the 2004 changed FIFA eligibility rules: ... , in such scenarios, the player must have at least one parent or grandparent who was born in that country, or the player must have been resident in that country for at least two years. | |
