Ancestry.com Reveals Prince Charles and Camilla are Cousins
PROVO, Utah, April 4/PRNewswire/ -- When Prince Charles first met Camilla Parker-Bowles at a polo match in the early seventies, she said to the prince, “My great-grandmother and your great-great grandfather were lovers, so how about it?” Today, genealogical research shows they have an even stronger bond, they are ninth cousins. According to family history experts at Ancestry.com, a service of MyFamily.com, Inc., Prince Charles and Camilla are ninth cousins once removed.
Prince Charles and Camilla are both descendents of Henry Cavendish, 2nd Duke of Newcastle. Prince Charles’ family history can be traced back to the Duke’s elder daughter Margaret Cavendish, while Camilla’s family tree leads to the Duke’s younger daughter Catherine Cavendish.
A second and more scandalous possible tie also exists that would make the soon-to-be married couple half second cousins once removed. It is believed that Camilla's grandmother, Sonia Keppel, was the illegitimate daughter of King Edward VII. If this is true then she and Charles would be half second cousins once removed. The half denotes that Charles and Camilla are descended from different partners of Edward VII (Charles from Edward's wife and Camilla from Edward's alleged mistress, Alice Edmonstone).

Ooh, ooh! *jumps up and down waving hand* I get to be the one to tell Kerry!
It was hard to edit for I just wanted to post the meat and there is more interesting stories if one takes time to comb the sites!
I feel the more we can put into chronology and timelines of events the better our visualization becomes and sharpens our understanding and relationship to the importance from whence we came be it the UK or elsewhere!
Who are we in the scheme of thing’s each being on earth played a vital role no matter how long their existence?
Those who have populated or beyond the vale still play a vital roll in the out come of this planet!
For so many centuries our focus has been myopic and much has passed us causing us to have missed pieces to the puzzle, which sure could have helped us in our comprehension
These wars and changes of events taking place, the confusion of climate change, of who is at fault or if it was a program event eons ago, and the discovery of a New Planet what does it mean and the shifting of the earth axes.
Scriptures address many of these things and also make us aware of continuing unanswered situations! I am sure in the pass some of these issues were the topic of their day!
The temporal world continues hold our focus on pop culture or some other inane issue while a version of Rome burning continues taking place...
Mesmerized by the media pop culture and it trimming can be fatal to our Freedoms and lives!
Especially Celine Dion.
That gene pool needs some chlorine.
And to think that my aunt & uncle got all freaked out when I discovered they were 6th cousins to each other.
(I'm James Dean's 7th cousin!)
It seems your UFO is off course....
If you would have taken the time to read this thread you would see this is a discussion on Geneology and in the scheme of things and events how you and your family fit in!!
That was pretty much my response, too. The "Royals" are as inbred as any isolated hillbilly clan anywhere on earth. The difference is only that they've created a much better welfare system for themselves, so maybe they're not as dumb as they look.
In keeping with the tradition of the monarchy.
GWB is my 11th cousin (through the Gates line) and George HW Bush is my 10th cousin 1R.
