The family tree of the British monarch is teeming with ancestors from Germany. His origins can also be recognized by some of King Charles III’s preferences, according to his biographer.
The author of the biography “Charles III. – with the heart of a king”, which was published on Monday for the British king’s 74th birthday, sees his penchant for homeopathy as an indication of the German origin of the royal.
“His German heritage is partly why he is so attached to homeopathy,” British-American writer and journalist Catherine Mayer told the German Press Agency. Charles was also influenced by a specifically German way of protecting the environment, according to Mayer, who met the former crown prince several times for her book.
Homeopathy is a treatment method of alternative medicine that goes back to the ideas of the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann (1755 – 1843) and has a large following, especially in German-speaking countries.
thinkers and environmentalists
Mayer took a close look at the personality of the royal in her biography. The result is a portrait of a man who has the indomitable will to be noticed for more than just the grace of his high birth. Namely as a thinker and environmentalist who has designed a holistic concept for the problems of mankind – and often feels completely misunderstood.
The family tree of the British king, who has repeatedly demonstrated his excellent knowledge of German on visits to the Federal Republic, is teeming with German ancestors, both from his mother’s and his father’s side. According to Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who met the British King at the funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II in September, Charles intends to come to Germany for a state visit soon.
