I would think that by that many generations, any resemblance would be entirely coincidental. Not necessarily. The Hannover/Windsor family has had bug eyes since George I came to the throne in 1714. Witness Princess Beatrice, Lord Freddie Windsor, Prince Andrew, Prince William of Gloucester, I could go on, but I'd have to troll through scary pics of ugly royals. |

Even if it was true, she'd have no claim on the throne. She'd be the illegitimate daughter of a king who abdicated. She couldn't be legitimized, as far as I know.
And I think she's fantasizing all of it, anyway.

Depending on the law, she could be legitimated as their child and become Lady whatever Windsor, but when Edward VIII abdicated, his descendants were removed from any claim on the throne -- regardless of when they were born.
I'm sure she's batshit and wonder whether her poor, unfortunate, ugly family goes along with it to humor her. She must be the mom from hell.

Maybe the Duggars wouldn't have her, so she decided to be a Windsor.

And I think she's fantasizing all of it, anyway. No, she'd be legitimate, in that her parents were married. However, she'd be the product of a morganatic marriage-it was decided that any offspring would of the union would not hold any rank whatsoever. Either way, she's completely cracked. |

Anyone here interested in the ancient and medieval royals? Two whom I'm curious about are Henry VII (father of Henry VIII and first Tudor monarch) and Galla Placidia (Roman empress dowager). Anyone else?

I don't know, I don't think I'd want to be dug up and transported. I mean apart from the family plot and all, I like to think she met up with the rest of them years ago in the afterworld...

Yes, but this was Maria Feodorovna's dying wish-she stated that when conditions improved, she wanted to be reburied in Russia, alongside her "Sasha" (Alexander III). So this was a long time in coming.
I know what you mean, but since this was her request, I'm glad it was fulfilled.
