Editing German diaspora (section)

====United Kingdom====
{{Main|Germans in the United Kingdom}}
In the United Kingdom, a German-Briton ethnic group of around 300,000 exists. Some are descended from 19th-century immigrants. Others are 20th-century immigrants and their descendants, and others are [[World War II]] [[prisoners of war]] held in Great Britain who decided to stay there. Others arrived as spouses of English soldiers from post-war marriages in Germany, when the British were occupying forces. Many of the more recent immigrants have settled in the [[London]] and southeast part of England, in particular, [[London Borough of Richmond upon Thames|Richmond]] (South West London).

The [[British royal family]] are partially descended from German monarchs.

Due to [[Brexit]], the number of Germans in the UK has declined significantly. In 2021, there were only 135,000 Germans in the UK.<ref>{{Cite web|title=German nationals population UK 2021|url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/1061601/german-population-in-united-kingdom/|access-date=2022-02-15|website=Statista|language=en}}</ref>
