With all the attention young Prince George is getting, I couldn't help but think about how many of the women I wrote about in Female Adventurers were descendants of royalty. Of course, that means that many Americans today who are descendants of these women (and there are thousands) are also descendants of royalty. Have you ever checked? Are you royal? | According to Christopher C. Child, Genealogist of the Newbury Street Press, and Scott C. Steward, Editor-in-Chief, Prince George of Cambridge, "is related to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, both Roosevelt and Bush presidents, and President Barack Obama, among others." If any of them are your ancestors, then, yes, you are royal. |
