Okay, I just wanted to play British Tabloid for a bit. Go about your business.
Kate Middleton = got around a bit.
Or so I heard...
That's right, you went to school with them. Gah.
You know, like most red-blooded teenaged English-speaking females in the mid 90s, I have to admit I had a bit of a thing for Prince William....But since he's gotten older, he's definitely starting to look more and more...Windsor, and less Spencer. Seriously, he's getting that inbred royalty look like his father and grandparents.
At least Prince Harry will never get that Windsor look.

He's never been that attractive anyway.

None of them are oil paintings, but I couldn't pass up a chance at making fun of Harry's parentage (again).
Wasn't there some to do when Prince Charles was getting hitched about whether or not Diana was a virgin? Call the painters, we need something glossed over.

I thought they did a DNA test and proved that Charles was his father a while ago? Unless I missed some sort of recent development...
Also, has England EVER had attractive royalty? Consorts don't count, because Diana was actually pretty.
I don't know if this is good news for you Subetai or what. Might make that nutcase chick focus on you again....
Otherwise, I think it's a good thing for them to "dirty" up the blood line a bit.

I haven't heard anything about a DNA test, and if they did do one, I'm sure they would keep it, and the result secret - first because doing the test would show they have doubts over his parentage which the Royal Family would never admit to, and secondly if they did, they would never admit he was anything but Charles' son, for fear of making the next King look weak(er).
Well, Greeks are usually fairly attractive, so they may be some long lost grand-neice or nephew related to Phil the Greek that might be worth a look.

If she does, she knows what happens. Her box will turn into a lump of useless plastic, for starters.

Then again, in British media, only believe
half a quarter an eighth a twentieth of what you read.
Single source, not verified. Also there were a LOT of vultures circling around Diana's slowly decomposing body, both in the former Royal Household and the media generally. Lots of bullshit stories, and a media that wasn't inclined to factcheck, so long as they moved bulk and avoided prosecution through judicious use of the word "allegedly".
Strangely enough, I know some inside stories on this because a relative of mine was having an affair with one of the major vultures of the time (if I said the name of the person they were having the affair with, you'd all know or recall very quickly, that's how prominent they are). I've also since heard some information from the media side of that ringside circus, which lines up nicely with what the former told me.

Every other person in Europe, common or not, is related to the Hapsburgs. I'm convinced. On my English side ALONE (The side I've actually been able to successfully document) I saw the Hapsburgs cross the line TWICE _AND_ General Stuart's line as well. That's not counting my Castilian/Italian side, and the Hapsburgs fucked their way through Spain until limbs fell off.
I'm probably safe in the Greek corner...maybe.
The Hapsburgs were horny little buggers.
I know I'm related to Yorkish nobility in some way, as my family on my mother's side used to own a lot of land in the old part of York City, but on my father's side its a Scottish clan aligned with the Frasers, members of whom were sent to Australia for the crime of being Scottish in an English Empire (probably).

If you're Yorkish, there's a good chance you could be Norse/Viking. My Italian side is actually Spanish in that aspect. Castiglia as a surname is a dead giveaway.
I actually recently found that my English side had been the primary landowner of Bishopscastle, Essex since feudal times up until the 19th century. What an interesting place that is...almost a little too close to Wales for my comfort, though.
It's possible. I don't know exactly how far back the ties to York go, but through the general population there, the chances of some diluted Norse blood are fairly high.
Wait, Essex is close to Wales? Are you sure you haven't confused it with Exeter?
Back in England there's a ruin with my family's last name on it. Not certain if there's any connection, the records only go back to the point where we got off a boat in Boston back in the 1620's.

I might be...I got confused with other stuff. Bishop's Castle is in Shropshire. One of the ancestors eventually moved to Essex before they moved to the colonies in the 17th century.
Your region/county/town system sucks.

Well, Essex is too close to Wales, but then so is Ireland. Or France. Or Outer Mongolia. It's just that Exeter is much closer. As is Shropshire, for that matter.
It's not so bad, except for everything ending in -shire and each town and village sharing it's name with seventeen others.
Apparently my family fought to keep Wales contained and establish the border in the 16th century. Seriously, we're heroes.
I would totally pee in Kate Middleton's butt.
Ah, so many potential responses I could get sued for...

Elizabeth II was a drop-dead hottie when she was young.

So was Victoria. And we all know the tragic end to that story.
I see he gave her Di's ring...the tabloids are going to eat this shit up...Soon the Duchess of Cornwall is going to try to cut off her finger or something.
Now, if I remember my peerages correctly, when they marry, they'll be given a duchy, but it will be non-hereditary or something, right? That way she has a title going into a possible coronation and can be a legit queen? Or will she only be a princess consort?
I think so. That's how they worked it for Camilla, anyway, once she married she was the Duchess of Cornwall (lail).
They may just make her Princess-consort to avoid the possible Camilla comparisons, though.
