No, he's English. Though according to Wikipedia his mum is Jewish and born in South Africa and his dad is protestant and born in Northern Ireland, which I guess to an American is "half Irish and half Jewish" because of their weird way of describing their ancestry like it's their nationality.
Soooo his mom is Jewish and his dad is Irish...feels like you're reeeeeeeally reaching for an "America Bad" here
More just "America odd". From a British perspective Americans seem to be very obsessed with their ancestry and talk about it like it's their nationality. Just a culture difference.
Also be careful about assuming a Northern Irish protestant identifies as Irish!
Oh ok, well, in the mean time, say hi to your King and the Royal Family and your other nobility by ancestry for us.
Don't worry, most of us find it pretty odd too, but apparently American media fucking loves them!
American media love a spectacle... just like how non-Americans seem to delight in watching Americans self-immolate.
