Royalty within our walls - challenge
« on: Thursday 14 September 06 11:08 BST (UK) »
Well well well

There I was thinking what to do next (see my thread about "What do I do now?") and I decided to do some poking about and guess what?

I found that one of our RC members shares a common ancestor with........

.......Prince Charles !  :o

.......Princess Diana !  :o

......and even Winston Churchill !  :o

But the question is...........



WHICH MEMBER IS IT?

Yes you could say all of us Arranroots but there is one specific RCer who has a common ancestor that I know of.  ;)

Hi

I'm guessing it could be someone with connections to the Spencer family or is it some really common ancestor like William the Conqueror??
