I think being English, we dont really see stereotypical images of ourselves, but people from other countries may think there is a stereotypical look.

my cousins who live abroad all have this image that English people are clones of the queen

I think we probably do have a stereotypical look, its just that because we live here we don't realise it. I would personally say, feature-wise: pale skin with high incidence of freckles, mousy brown hair, high incidence of blue eyes, thin lips, relatively high hair line and weak jaw line, and tend not to have a prominent nose (not saying that there aren't English people with big noses, but it tends to be less common here than in places like Eastern/Southern Europe.)

Pale, bad/yellow teeth, distinctive facial bone structure - not as sharp as mainland europeans. not saying they are ugly or bad, just they are easily distinguished

No idea. I think it depends.

I'm olive skinned, thick dark hair, short, curvy (hips and booty haha), greenish-brown eyes, my teeth are all straight, have a long, broad nose.

One of my friends is milky skinned, tall, slim, short red hair, blue eyes, small nose, straight teeth.


Then again no one ever thinks I'm actually English. People think I'm on the European side of the family.

So do you know if you have Southern European heritage?

i mean english/welsh more than scottish/irish because scottish and irish people have more of a defining look than english/welsh...

Hell, I look so Irish that when I open my mouth people assume I've hired Hugh Grant to dub my speech. Which is a shame, really, since I feel I'd rather suit a Dubliners' brogue.

Spanish

It's either great-great relatives OR great-great-great relatives
but it's in there somewhere. :P


(And it wouldn't directly count for me but my aunts husband is Italian)
