Big deal. So is Paleface Lizzy Warren.....or at least that’s what she claimed.

Apparently it was a very busy port.
I’d be more interested in Prince Harry’s DNA. Specifically, to see if he is really related to Charles. My guess is no, which is why such info will never see the light of day.
Dot...not feather.
mtDNA is ONLY passed mother to daughter.

It’s nice to know that William and Harry will be able to seek asylum in India, land of their ancestors, after Muslim terrorists complete their destruction of Britain.
Imagine the surprises if we could see our descendants for thousands of years in the future!!!!!!
(Maybe it's best that we can't)
(in either case.)
What you don’t know can’t hurt you — — — right?
Ummmm....not the same “Indian” - Cherokee is not from India.
That’s OK......Paleface Lizzy isn’t Cherokee.
What it is, bloods?
;-)

Yes, I've wondered about that too. Not too sure that I'd like to see that revealed though. Harry seems to be the most likeable of the bunch.
So what? Know we know where he gets his smarts from. There is so little Indian in him it may come out is a craving for Chutney once and a while.
But I’m not surprised, Joe. They look like my 21st century family.
Mitochondrial DNA is passed from mother to child. Both boys and girls inherit mtDNA from their mother only.
In this case, the mtDNA serves as an indicator of ancestry. Prince William's children will also carry a tiny fraction of this particular ancestor's nuclear DNA as well.
The matrilineal genealogy of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, traces back to an Indian woman known as Eliza Kewark... housekeeper to his 5th great grandfather Theodore Forbes, a Scottish merchant who worked for the East India Company... Eliza is claimed to have been Armenian, and letters from Eliza to Theodore contain Armenian script... DNA evidence shows she is Indian through her mother's line... the mtDNA of Princess Diana's line, and showed not only that it matched Kewark's, but also that it belongs to a haplogroup called R30b... The R30 and R30a haplogroups are entirely South Asian... is exceedingly rare, even in India, with only 14 examples reported, 13 of whom were Indian and one Nepalese.
The point was the Prince William will not be passing on this bit of DNA.
