DNA WAS CONSIDERED IN FIGHT OVER PRINGLE OF STICHILL BARONETTE

DAILY MAIL : QUEEN DEMANDS DNA TEST TO DETERMINE BARONET TITLE by Martin Beckford 

I tripped across this old article about the fight over a Baronet Title. Excerpt:  Her Majesty personally ordered Lord Neuberger, Britain's most senior judge, and seix other justices of the Supreme Court to rule on a bitter family dispute over who is the rightful heir to an ancient baronetcy.

The feud was unexpectedly sparked by an innocent family tree project involving a distinguished lineage dating back to the 13th Century.

SO WHO WON?

IS QUEEN ELIZABETH IN PROPHET MOHAMMED'S BLOOD LINE ?

DAILY MAIL : QUEEN ELIZABETH IN PROPHET MOHAMMED BLOOD LINE

This story seems to have kept resurfacing over the last couple years.  This Daily Mail article is one of many articles that have appeared in print media and on the internet.  Archives of Spain, Burke's Peerage (the British authority on royal and aristocratic genealogy), and other countries with large Muslim populations are interested in the connection.  Would it help relationships between Christians and Muslims?  Diplomatically, maybe.  Religiously, I doubt it.

There is an impressive genealogy chart to look at: the connection would be through the Prophet's daughter Fatima.

Excerpt: They claimed the3 Queen descends from a Muslim princess called Zaida, who fled her home town of Seville in the 11th century before converting to Christianity.  Zaida was the fourth wife of King Al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad of Seville.  She bore him a son Sancho, whose descendant later married the Earl of Cambridge in the 11th century.

THE ROYAL WEDDING and COATS OF ARMS

I'm getting up in the wee hours to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and his American bride Meghan Markle.  Reading around the subject of this wedding, here are some things you might find interesting.


1) It was required that Meghan, raised Catholic, convert to the Church of England and she did.
2) Her title, unless the Queen grants her and Harry other titles, will be Princess Henry i.e. this does not acknowledge her as a Princess but entitled because of her marriage. 
3) Very likely, as she did when she created Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the titles Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Queen will create Duke and Duchess title for Harry and Meghan Markle.
4) Like other things surrounding the Royal Wedding that people bet on, there is betting on which title the Queen will grant them. The decision is the Queen's but she is likely to consider the reputations of the last title holders and how long the title has been unused.
Right now it would seem that the Sussex title is a favorite.
5) So there are only so many titles that can be granted. Some sort of go into a long hibernation.
6) When Catherine Middleton became engaged to Prince William, one of the things her family had to collaborate on with the official coat of arms/shields people was a new one to represent the Middletons, specifically prior to the wedding, although they are commoners and the family does not have titles or have their rank raised.  As I understand it Michael Middleton, Catherine's father was especially helpful.  This coat of arms shows three acorns to indicate his three children. 
7) Likewise, even if her father's heath was too poor for him to make an international flight to escort his daughter down the isle, the Markle's will likely also design a coat of arms to represent Meghan, though she will remain a commoner as will her family.


I did once spend time in England and did the quick tour of the Windsor Castle's grounds and around the small town it sits in.  It was an unexpected vacation that I took and I always said that I would like to go there again for a longer period and less formal touring.
