How Inbred is the Royal Family?

How Inbred is King Charles? How Inbred are Kate, William, Harry and Meghan? How about the Princes and Princesses in the family?

This video is the first in a small series in which I breakdown how inbred different members of the royal family, alive and deceased, are. Before I upload select videos, such as how Inbred the Queen, Elizabeth II was, or her husband Prince Philip, I thought I would upload a general video, overviewing just how inbred the family is in totality.

As always, please feel free to comment anything you'd like (as long as it's respectable), suggesting future video topics!

Answer is: ''Yes!''

You should do a video on the Amish. the nearly 150, 000 Amish in America can trace their roots back to a few hundred German-Swiss settlers who brought the Amish and Mennonite faiths to the United States in the 18th century.

Prince Andrew isn't in trouble for noncimg, he's in trouble because they aren't his relatives. Still, he's now got the queen's corgis, he's the most experienced groomer.

How inbred is Philip J Fry? Legit question; if Mat Pat isn't going to try and make sense of it, someone else has to

I love yout channel. I hope you could analyze inbreeding of other royal and imperial families-

[MilesBellas]

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, who were married for over 70 years, were actually third cousins.

I missed seeing his adorable face this episode tho.. The shy historian of course, none of the Royal family is adorable sorry 😂

How many generations does this inbreeding affect? What are some of the top symptoms?

[abrvalg]

Hey, how big would a human colony have to be to avoid inbreeding? Considering that you have all age groups.

I miss the music used in your first two top 10 most inbred people videos and video on Charles II of Spain

“DNA/ Heritage Test results should explore this figure, especially when it makes connections to distant relatives”

[andrewoliver]

The family was very close before Victoria and Albert decided to be kissing cousins. The pool wasn't expanded until the previous Queen Mum married in.

I love how Bach is playing in the background.

I'm sure I noticed Charles's year of birth as 1945 on one graphic - it was 1948 (his parents were only married in 1947).
Also Andrew is the son of the Queen's then racehorse trainer - he is a spitting image of his father and the paternity was sealed under a 99-year rule in 1960, because it was talked-about right from the start. Edward was rumoured to have been fathered by a chap named Plunkett, but I've also read that Edward was the Philip's 'price' for Andrew. Some might say that Elizabeth would have been very understanding of Diana having Henry via James Hewitt (if she did...).

Can you do the Spainish royal family???

[elgee]

There is a possibility that Queen Camilla's grandmother's biological father was Edward VII, who was King Charles's great-great-grandfather. If this is true, Camilla and Elizabeth II were half-second cousins.

The 2 Cousins of Elizabeth the Queen Mother were left out of this documentary. Sadly Nerissa & Katherine Bowes-Lyon were both were hidden away in various institutions and were even reported to have died when they hadn't. They were swept away because it was bad press to have 2 mentally disabled people in the Bowes-Lyon line which went on to produce Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. With Elizabeth becoming Queen and bringing 4 children into this tainted line. Anne Tennant, Baroness Glenconner was, as a young woman and 1950s debutante of the year, engaged to Johnnie, Viscount Althorp, later the Earl Spencer and father to Diana, Princess of Wales; his father objected to the match on the grounds of "mad blood", as one of her grandmothers was a Trefusis, and the engagement was broken off. "Mad blood" Nothing has changed! Lady Diana Spencer was selected for breeding purposes only as her lineage went back a long way and so injected some new blood but when she provided an Heir and a spare she was got rid of.
