Phillip's ethnic "European Royalty" ancestors ruled in Denmark, Greece, and Russia.
Although Phillip was born a Prince of Greece, he does not have any Greek ethnicity for at least 20 generations. If you go back 20-45 generations you would find all kinds of ancestors. The Queen would have Jewish ancestors. She is is also descended from the Prophet Mohammed, and from Chinese emperors. If you go back far enough over 100's of generations we are all descendants of Africans. Normally to get an ethnicity you would not go back more than a dozen generations at absolute most.
