Everyone has there own opinion and sometimes the reason for one's opinion is personal as opposed to factual. For example someone who has had a car accident might be more passionate about the dangers of driving than someone who hasnt had an accident.
I am writing to persuade and some people might be persuaded by my reasoning but some people cannot be swayed.
My reply to you is that yes some of us come from celts and some from saxons and normans and vikings but for many hundreds of years we have lived together on this island as the british nation. It has taken years of adjustment and change, at times even civil war to get us to get on together but though we (british) come from different sources (vikings, celts, saxons and normans etc) there are closer ties in our ancestory roots than between our ancestory roots and other nations.

I think what you are trying to imply is that the Royal Family has brought shame on the british people. My answer to that is that is that the Royal family are people just like us. I don't expect them to be immune from corruption and immorality. Some members of the Royal family will be more moraly upright than others just as some people in our society will be more moraly upright than others.
I am not sure whether you might also be implying that the royal family has roots in other countries like germany etc. This was many years ago. And even if the royal family is made of up of very mixed up blood so what. That doesnt make the british people mixed up blood. So what if we are mixed up blood we have lived together for centuries and interbreeded with each other and not foreign countries.
