It's now become clear that in 1993, 2 years after the bodies were found the UK's Prince Philip provided a DNA sample to help identify the bodies. The Duke is the great nephew of Empress Alexandra, Tsar Nicholas's wife. His DNA was matched with samples taken from the skeletons of the Tsarina and her four daughters.
It seems incredible, but this is what happened in recent days at the royal palace: King Charles III, who became sovereign after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, summoned Prince Harry to ask him to undergo a DNA test!
Harry is the second son of King Charles and Princess Diana. After the pair tied the knot in 1981, they welcomed their first child, son Prince William, in 1982. Their family continued to grow when Diana gave birth to Harry in 1984. Charles and Diana had a tumultuous marriage and ultimately divorced in 1996.
For decades, there's been speculation that Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt is the 38-year-old's true father (despite the fact that Harry was born in 1984 and the couple's romance reportedly started in 1987.)
King Charles II, 'The Merry Monarch', was the father of fourteen children, by his various mistresses. The present Dukes of Buccleuch, Grafton, St. Albans, and Richmond and Lennox are all descended from King Charles. In this lecture we look at the lives of King Charles II's children.
After Charles, Prince William is next in line to the throne, as he is Charles's eldest son. When William becomes king, the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, will become Queen Consort. Following William, his eldest son Prince George is next in line for the throne, as the first-born child.
Though Harry and Meghan maintain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, in 2021 they were stripped of their honorary military appointments and royal patronages by Her late Majesty, with those appointments and patronages later distributed to other working members of the royal family.
England's royals are the best known in the world, and can trace their roots back nearly 1,200 years.
Prince Albert II of Monaco has two illegitimate children, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste.
In very simple terms, anyone with common sense can piece together the general origins of the nickname. Royals became known as 'blue bloods' because of their noticeable veins. Pale white skin came to be associated with wealthy royal families, who could afford to spend their times inside their mansions and palaces.
That side of her family includes Rev. William Skipper, who came to the U.S. in 1639. Given Meghan's royal ancestor, she and Harry are 17th cousins. Interestingly, in the 1500s, one of her royal ancestors,...
Their sister is called Laura Lopes and she is Camilla Parker Bowles' daughter. Since marrying Prince Charles in 2005, Camilla decided to keep Laura out of the public eye, and so far has retained much of her privacy.
Diana's royal roots
In addition, this royal connection means that Diana and her husband Prince Charles were very distant cousins, via several lines. In particular, they each descend from a daughter of Henry VII: Margaret, who married James IV of Scotland, and Mary, who married Charles Brandon.
Royal Inheritance
Representatives told Forbes in 2021 that Harry was not a beneficiary of any of the $100 million left to the royal family by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.
So, the bottom line? Yes, Prince Harry could one day be king…but there'd need to be a lot of unfortunate and premature deaths in order for that to happen. And even if it did happen, there's no certainty that the present Duke of Sussex would actually want to take on the role (he could very well choose to abdicate).
According to People, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess confirmed that the reigning monarch's grandson, Harry, was en route to Balmoral Castle but he didn't quite make it in time to say goodbye to his beloved grandmother before she died.
