Boris Johnson is a mix of English, Turkish, Russian, Lithuanian, German, French, Prussian, Swedish and basically every country in Europe. This man has a heritage more diverse than the food selection in an American fridge.

So when Boris has an audience with the Queen, they should address each other as 'cousin'.

This is such a classic story.
His grandmother ran away from home because she didn't want to marry a man she wasn't in love with.
Sacrificing wealth and security she then met a man and fell in love and spent the rest of her life on a farm where she started a family, and watched them grow and have grandchildren which she also helped to raise.

So much depth to her story. Very ironic to who Johnson is.

Boris had a fascinating family history

[anarasi]

It was sweet how the German historian enjoyed building up to his moment of revealing King George's portrait to Boris.

[gaynor]

Oh ffs! The BBC don't realise what they've done by informing him of this 🤦‍♂️

[Pundit]

At least his grandparents didn't falsely claim they were American Indians like Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren. No, his weren't liars.
