I’m posing this question half in jest, but also half seriously. The Norman Conquest in 1066 is something that I’ve heard is still a touchy subject today among more conservative Britons, and Britain has been an ancient enemy of France for centuries, even up until the beginning of the 20th century. So with all of the British attempts to control France, from the Hundred Years War up until George III finally removed his claim of being “King of France” from his title in 1800, it seems unlikely, but not necessarily absurd that there were some people in Britain after D-Day who would have seriously thought of keeping Normandy for Britain after the end of WWII. So was there actually any serious thought given to it by members of the British government, or the public at large?
