Prince Charles and Camilla are both descendents of Henry Cavendish, 2nd Duke of Newcastle.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that he wasn't much of a looker.

Ancestry.com has uncovered links in other famous family trees including George W. Bush to John Kerry

Ooh, ooh! *jumps up and down waving hand* I get to be the one to tell Kerry!

They're all part of the reptilian alien race that has lived here for millennia in secret.

Especially Celine Dion.

That gene pool needs some chlorine.

And to think that my aunt & uncle got all freaked out when I discovered they were 6th cousins to each other.

(I'm James Dean's 7th cousin!)

Inbreeding in the British Royal family?
NO WAY! my jaw is agape, It cannot possibly be true!

Camilla looked good on here wedding day. It was either A. Love, or B.The new Iams Horse Chow.

In keeping with the tradition of the monarchy.

The New England Historical Genealogical Society (NEHGS) at least used to have material which included the (I guess) fact that, in the US alone, there are one million descendants of Edward III (last of the Plantagenet kings of England) and that his father, Edward II, has ten million. So, odds are way better than the lotto. :')

Not a ping, just adding to the GGG catalog as a "Thoroughly Modern Miscellany" topic, or possibly "Biology and Cryptobiology", with emphasis on the "crypto". ;')

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

she said to the prince, “My great-grandmother and your great-great grandfather were lovers, so how about it?”

Must be some stiff, stilted British pick-up line that the rest of the planet can't understand.

THAT explains why they look alike ...

GENEALOGY n. ... In the English-speaking world, all those who take up this pursuit announce sooner or later that they can trace their descent back to Edward III. This should surprise no one with a rudimentary knowledge of mathematics; there are probably one or two well-bred basset hounds who could also trace their descent back to Edward III. What is really surprising is that Edward III seems to be regarded as some kind of ultimate antecedent beyond whom the genealogist does not venture, even though anyone descended from Edward III is also descended from his father Edward II, and so on. The author can guess only that the prudery of the late Victorian age (when genealogy became a family pastime) chose to draw a veil before the memory of Edward II in view of the sybaritic Plantagenet’s bisexual reputation and appalling death (see impalement).

"Experts Discover that Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are Related"

They needed a genealogist for this??! The old-fashioned, Mark I Eyball could have told them that.

[Chewbacca]

Inbreeders.

[ladyinred]

They were both raised by the same mare right?
