Anglophiles
England's foreign admirers
Anglophiles are people who admire England or Britain—its culture, history, literature, or customs.
The term suggests genuine enthusiasm rather than casual interest: Anglophiles who follow the royal family, an Anglophile obsessed with British period dramas.
The singular is Anglophile, which also works as an adjective: his Anglophile tendencies.
