Infidelity in the royal family??????L!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not possible!!!!!!!
Freeeedooooommmmmmmm!
In what way is infidelity a “surprise” in a royal family?
Reporters write such stupid things some times.
I think the number of monarchs of the UK/England that were faithful could be counted on less than 10 digits. And that takes into account that it was expect of the Kings to have mistresses.
Perhaps it means the body is not Richard III.
A black knight in the wood pile?
I’m pretty sure they did a programming with Tony Robinson that stated their mother had an affair with a French Arthur and couldn’t have been conceived by his purported Royal father because he was elswhere at the time he would have been conceived. Maybe it was the same with the other two brothers, including Richard III. The true heir was the late Michael Abney Hastings, a Scottish aristocrat and Australian citizen...
Now for the continuing saga: Who is the true king or queen of Great Britain, since Richard III’s descendants are not blood royalty?
Meh, they need to check out the Hanoverians....
The throne should be occupied by the Jacobites, not the present German usurpers.....me thinks.
This all started when the Carolinians usurped the throne from the Merovingians.
I cannot now find the reference but I read somewhere a while ago that in everybody’s family there’s at least one “imported” bit of DNA every five generations on average. No one can vouch for his great, great grandmother.
This explains Prince Charles perhaps...

If this keeps Charles, Prince of All Things PC off the throne, then I am all for it!!!
So Prince Charles wasn’t the first? That’s a surprise.
unless of course the remains were not Richards
I've been studying medieval English kings for nearly thirty years and I'm not aware of any historians giving any credence to rumors of John of Gaunt's illegitimacy.
John of Gaunt is easily the most powerful person in English royal history to never be king and it was the void left after his death that really began the War of the Roses. However, rumors that he was illegitimate did not appear until late in his life and were quite possibly started by supporters of Richard II who hated the Lancasters.
There is zero evidence that Philippa of Hainault was unfaithful to Edward III and, in fact, she was given far more authority than most queens of her day were and would seem implausible if Edward mistrusted her for any reason (keep in mind that he imprisoned his own mother). Further it is implausible that Edward III would have given John of Gaunt so much wealth and power if he didn't believe he was his son.
It's far more likely that the infidelity occurred much later in the Beaufort line.
He was a good bowler, and a good man. He was... he was one of us.
The Tudors are Welsh Gigaloes.
Look live Richard III. !!!!
Hmmm. Bonnie Prince Franz just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
