Marlene are they descendants of QV?
No, they are not. There is some connection with the Earl Peel.
Too bad about the Blogger issue on Google. Not sure if you were kind enough to answer my question, whether the Prince is a descendant of Queen Victoria?
I did yesterday .. and he's isn't. He is apparently a friend of Lord Peel, and Harry did a hunting weekend there a few years ago.
William Windsor, Duke of Cambridge is a grandson of a 7th cousin of Albrecht, Fürst zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Spielberg.
