Meghan Markle is descended from Scottish hero Robert the Bruce, it has emerged.

Two Hollywood actress are cousins related through Robert The Bruce, their great grandfather: Meghan Merkle, now the Duchess Of Sussex and Hillary Duff. They are the descendant of the Scottish King, several times removed. Meghan Merkle is really is royalty with noble blood up her family tree as well as Hillary Duff in a just aired episode of "Who Do You Think Who You Are?"
Sometimes your genealogy leads to an ancestor you never thought you where descended from. Royalty is the ultimate surprise to some people.

Go back a few thousand generations, and we’re all distant cousins.

The marriage will not last.
Even if she were descended from the Pope - the marriage won’t last.

If I remember my movie history right, Robert The Bruce turned out to be a traitor to William Wallace, didn’t he?

All that genealogy stuff kinda goes out the window when one mailman, or milkman, or neighbor gets into the mix.
Some people forget about infidelity.
