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

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 
Anna

Me, aged 4, just starting out on The Dusty Trail

Isn't it always the way.
I was helping a friend trace her family tree, and found a direct (legitimate) line all the way back to Edward I!
All of my lot were Ag labs and farm labourers all the way back to the year dot. Not one sniff of royalty. I think the closest any of my lot would have got to a Royal connection was getting legless in the Kings Head!

I'm descended from the Houghton family, one of whom came over from Normandy on the same boat as William the Conqueror (my 29x great grandfather, Herverus de Normandie).
I did find a link to William the Conqueror via another branch of the family a few months ago, but wasn't too sure about it, so I just consider it a possible.
