Does the royal family in Britain still believe they are the legitimate descendants of King David? As somebody who lives outside the U.K., it is wild to think about how the entire history of Britain is based on this idea. Which, looking back at history, is absolutely unequivocally false and astounding that they were able to convince the entire island of this fact.

Convince the entire island...? I have lived in the UK my entire life and it's the first time I've heard this idea. Americans need to stop getting their "facts" about the UK from The Simpsons

Lol here, this goes back as early as the 1500s brother. Quite literally just before the British started their empire. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Israelism

Not sure what that's got to do with bananas. The Royal Family of Great Britain are the legitimate descendents of George I (1714), who wasn't a direct descendent of Queen Anne but the next legal heir. Before that it gets more confusing as it's there are more Kingdoms in play (England & Wales, Ireland, Scotland).

We can break it down a little further with subsequent conversation but what are your thoughts concerning the validity of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Israelism

First time I've heard of it. Sounds like people fantasising about things.

It quite literally is. This is the ideological system by which the royal British class justified the expansion of their empire. This is the reason why the Scottish, Welsh, and Irish don't quite cooperate with the British, seeing as their claim to rulership isn't based on anything legitimate. Funny enough, the very claims of the British are mirrored in the native inhabitants' own history. The Gaelic language can be traced to a form of Hebrew that the Punics used in ancient times.

No, no it's not. It's some fringe ideas by a minority. Expansion of the Empire is simply because it could and it gathered more power and money. The royal family aren't involved in the governing of the constituent countries, any disagreements is just local politics and nothing to do with strange ideas that nobody has heard of. It would be conspiracy theory level of idiocy to latch into that idea as relevant to politics in the UK.
