Can't get Sky 1, but I read a review of the prog which said, I think over 50% of the population has Royal blood.  Are you one of these Patrish? ::) ::)

Yes  ;D  my link is to King Charles 2nd, wrong side of the sheets I am afraid though. ::)  No surprise there, given his numerous mistresses  ::)

The nearest I came to fame was via Emma Hamilton and that turns out not to be true!

I'm descended from the Tudor lot  ::) ::) ::)

Apparently the Queens 17th cousin  :-\

Added - but according to my Welsh Pedigree book, I'm certainly decended from  Owain Glyndwr's sister and through her to Irish and Manx kings  ::) ::) ::)

No royalty yet whatsoever in my tree  :(

Thisa morning they had that Nick Barratt - who I think is the presenter (?) on BBC Breakfast talking about the programme (which surprised me, given that usually they only plug BBC programmes).  He was asked about the "50% of the population are related to royalty" quote and his response was along the lines of "Huh?  Maybe a few hundred thousand, but absolutely nowhere near 50%".

I haven't got Sky, but look forward to hearing Rootschatters' reviews :)
