- Davina McCall makes some intriguing and shocking discoveries as she delves into her family's past. As a child of divorced parents, Davina, who is half-French, was brought up by her paternal grandmother in England and knows very little about her maternal French heritage. She also wants to find out if there is any truth behind the story that has been passed down for generations, claiming that the English side of her family is descended illegitimately from royal blood.
Davina's grandmother reveals that she believes Davina's great great, great, great-grandfather, James Thomas Bedborough, is the illegitimate son of George IV. The trail does indeed lead to Windsor but not quite in the way Davina expected.
On her French side, Davina wants to find out more about her great-grandfather Celestin Hennion. Her starting point is a medal that was given to Hennion by George V in gratitude for organising security for the monarch's trip to France in 1914. Davina knows her great grandfather was Head of the French police at the time, and decides to head to Paris to find out more.
In Paris, Davina is amazed to discover that her ancestor was famous throughout France and responsible for revolutionising the French police service. She also finds out that he was at the centre of a case that rocked France politically and divided the nation bitterly.

It’s so nice to see Davina receiving family stories and reunions after her own work in helping others find their families for years.
Davina is a treasure. What a life.
I love Davina to bits; she's so lovely...
This made me cry!! Families need to stay together and stay in touch!! I’m so glad they were able to do this
davina speaking french , dosent get much more better than thatn
Well, you speaking English might trump it, but we'll never know.
Absolutely no doubt about these two being related...they have exactly the same nose and mouth
Davina saying "Oui oui, non mais, non, oui oui !" is literally the Frenchest thing that was ever said.
This is one of my favourites 😢❤️ I’d love to trace my Irish background xx
This was beautiful.
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
They have the same nose. Very certain that are related ;-)
It is a very French nose .....long, thin with a slight bend to it. I always thought the American actress Meryl Streep has some French blood.
The half sister has the same nose.
Definitely their genetic with nose shape
They have the same nose
ok
The nose is hereditary then never new the french connection
Davina McCall speaks three languages .....British, French, and English.
You mean 2?
British is not a language
If you listen - she is not fluent
😂😂
Why didn't she visit her in the last 30 years? She's in France, not north Korea.
When she was little, her parents divorced, they moved her to the UK and she was raised by her father's family instead.
The father's family didn't keep in touch with the mother's family.
She have little information to the mother side even when she was little.
They don't have internet back then. She doesn't even know their address or telephone number. Her family in the UK doesn't have those either. Only after this program do some expensive and extensive research that they found her mother family.
@@nntflow7058 exactly this. Its easy to sit and point fingers but its not always as easy as picking up the phone
@@nntflow7058 I agree. ❤️❤️❤️
@@nntflow7058 when this program was made she wasn’t little, and she could have used her resources to employ people to help her find her family. She didn’t have to wait until the BBC came along to look for them.
@@shadowguard3578 disgusting comment !
He was protecting democracy ? Looked like he was protecting King George to me.
