Very true. My most recent monarch in my family tree is Edward III, so I'd suppose I have a decent set of royals and nobles. I had also seen my dad was possibly descended from Roland de Velville (1474-1535), the illegitimate French son of Henry VII (1457-1509); Roland's mother is described as "an...

I've recently discovered my own royal & noble descent, which is nice! I'm a direct descendant of the following royals. Please let me know of royal & noble lineage I may not be aware of. 1. King Owain The Great ("King of All Wales") (1087-1170) 2. Noble - Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl March...

This may be off topic. I'm trying to trace the ancestry of Philip DeSpencer (through his daughter, Margery - from Nettlestead, Suffolk - who died in 1478) to the Plantagenet king, Edward I (through Edward's daughter, Joan of Acre). Margery married Sir Roger Wentworth, and they had a daughter...

Who are famous royals or people (past and present) that Diana is related to?

I had asked some Diana ancestry questions on this forum last year, the last time I’d been here. I saw that a lot of them weren’t answered.

I already knew that. But, is Diana related to any Canadian ancestors through being related to Sarah?

Interesting! I know Diana and Camilla are related. Is Diana related to any of Sarah or Camilla’s Canadian relatives, via one of Camilla or Sarah’s ancestors?

Is Diana related to Champlain? Champlain (I presume) is the man who was sent to Canada to (I guess) establish a settlement there in the 1600s. One of the King Henry’s of France sent Champlain to Canada.

Also, is Diana related to any of the founders of the 13 Colonies (William Penn, George Carteret, etc.)?

Both Sarah & Camilla’s Canadian bloodlines are heavily written about under the Ancestry section of their Wikipedia pages.

It could be any of those three. I’d even say Princess Di—since she is 1/8 American. I almost said Sarah, Duchess of York and Camilla too, but I know for a fact that both of them have a Canadian ancestry; so, I excluded them in my questions.

This is all that the book says (with direct descendants listed in bold font): France section (page 71): “HRH’s (William, DoCambridge) forebears include the great historian Geoffroy de Villehardouin. HRH’s most recent French ancestress was Hyacinthe Gabrielle Roland, Marchioness Wellesley. But...

Does the royal family have any Canadian, Monegasque or islander (Bermuda, Jamaica, St. Kitts, etc.) ancestors?

I meant in terms of public image. What did you think of my other questions?

I did read the replies. I have a book that says the BRF is directly related to the Polignac side of royalty. But, they didn’t give an actual chart. The book is “Ancestry of The Royal Child”. Direct descendants are in bold, and the Polignacs are listed in bold under the France section of the book.

Here's a quick question: What are the chances of the French Legitimists becoming monarchs of France, IF the French monarchy is restored?

I also had an additional theory: Is Princess Michael of Kent related to royals that are not directly tied to QE and Diana themselves? I wish there was a person in the BRF who could “seal” the missing genealogical ties (in the case of having the distinction of adding even more unique ancestral...

Alternatively, is the BRF directly related to Pierre (de Polignac) of Valentinois, who is Prince Rainier’s father? I’d love to see if there any ties, separately from Rainier—but simply through Pierre’s side.

About question 4: What a shame that there were descendants AROUND Philip and QEII, but none directly tied to them. Are any of Josephine’s descendants directly tied to Diana? About question 8: I already knew about the succession crisis surrounding Queen Anne’s death. That’s how we got the present...

@Gawin I tried to quote your reply within mine and answer accordingly, but I got a message saying my reply was over the 10k character limit. I had to post my response as just my replies to the initial questions and your answers, individually. My reply: About question 1: Martha...

A LOT of Frances’ ancestors are not listed on Wikitree. I heavily understand people may not have kept records during that time. I didn’t know where to look for the missing links to the chains I was in, in terms of D’s ancestry. Although, I took the concept of mtDNA and traced ancestry through...

I knew already the story of Frances being disinherited if she married a royal—because her father strongly disliked the royal family. And that Diana is 1/8 American.

I have tried to use the Genealogics Royal genealogy calculator to trace different relationships; very often, it is unreliable because the calculations either never show up or they take 5-10 minutes to load. With that in mind, I have some genealogy questions. 1) Is Diana related to Martha...

Thank you for the info! I'll be sure to look it all up. Also: I found out about Anne of Bohemia, who was married to Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor. Is she related to Diana or the U.K. Royal Family?

Would that make her cousins (possibly several times removed) with the French kings and Austrian Holy Roman Emperors?
