Corrections: - William will be the first British monarch since Queen Anne to descend from Charles I, not the first "Stuart-descended" king. (All British monarchs from George I on descend from James I). - The current Earl Spencer is named Charles, not John.
Could you at least include the wives of the people here. I would like to see other siblings that the heirs or people you are focusing on but I understand it would get messy. But the family trees without wives look odd and we could see more interesting connections from those, now only some are included.
Well, Charles I was a Stuart, so you were right. And as you said, not through the line that the Jacobites count. Also, All monarchs from 1603 descend from James I, as even William III was a grandson of James I through his mother, Mary Stuart, and the Cromwells were officially not monarchs.
Which is why Queen Elizabeth II encouraged Prince Charles to marry a Spencer woman, either Lady Sarah, Diana's older sister, or Lady Diana. Charles married Lady Diana, and their son, Prince William, carries both Stuart blood in him from the deposed monarchy, as well as Windsor blood, uniting the two claims. It's similar to the united houses of York and Lancaster through Henry Tudor's marriage to Elizabeth of York, producing King Henry VIII of England.
What do you mean when you say "royal"? The Spencers only have a british royal connection through two illegitimate Stuart lines while the Windsors are descendants of a legitimate line. They are also related to many european noble dynasties (like the Houses of Welf, Hohenzollern and Mecklenburg or the royal House of Denmark), all of which are way older than the Spencer or Churchill families. The House of Wettin itself (to which Queen Elizabeth technically belongs) can trace it origins back to the 10th century. Margrave Frederick I. of Meissen, a direct male-line ancestor of the Queen, was the grandson of Emperor Frederick II., so the Wettins can even claim to be the rightful heirs to the House of Hohenstaufen as well as to the previous imperial dynasties (the Salians and Ottonians).
@@shahrulamar5358 The Queen Mother was a member of the Bowes-Lyon family and a descendant of various scottish, english snd even irish noble dynasties. Isn't that british enough?
And if Mary Boleyn children were really fathered by Henry VIII that will mean Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret and their children are the only royal descendant of Henry VIII
It is ironic just how aristocratic Diana was. This was downplayed at the time of their marriage, both because she had no title but also because she is effectively more of a blueblood aristocrat from a long and illustrious family than Charles is. Charles is from an effectively German family.
Her family was not aristocratic based on blue blood in the true sense of the world. .but on account of having affairs and illegimate children in the line. Windsor are German and considered royal. But they also have illigitimate children way back. According to some documentary on yt real king of UK lives in Australia on a ranch. On account of his blood line.
Very true. Being a noble is a constant. Royal dynasties come and go. They treated Diana much as the press treated Jimmy Carter - and labeled him a "peanut farmer". I seem to remember the press characterizing Ronald Reagan as a lifeguard - not a former Democrat and president of a trade union. Funny how all this works... 🤷♂️
@@Addictedtoyoutube9that’s just an “if theory about who would be king if the Tudors hadn’t won a war, that’s it. Also, it goes a long way between being descended from untitled to titled nobility, to royalty (most noble of all).
I"m indigenous, from Canada. I was a child, when she became Princess. It was NEVER played down, her aristocracy. BECAUSE I KNEW ABOUT IT. Even her virginity was discussed, publicly, on TV. How could I know about her lineage, her virginity, as a child, without her lineage being crowed about, examined, vetted as approval worthy. Charles didn't pick Diana. THE FIRM DID. And they definitely knew what they were getting from her,. when they chose her to become the DNA for their FIRM. To be their brood mare. All ya'll, are trying to change history.
Her title before marriage was Lady Diana Spencer and there was no ‘playing down’. Anyone who cared about such things knew exactly what her lineage was. She was born in Park House on Sandringham Estate and her father, Johnny, was equerry to the Queen for goodness sake.
I remember reading somewhere that Princess Diana and Winston Churchill were related somehow, nice to see the family tree and how they're connected. Great video and congrats on 700K subscribers!
@@marcusq4807 Yep. Just like Barbara Bush is the illegitimate daughter of Aleister Crowley and Prince Harry is the illegitimate son of Diana's riding instructor, James Hewitt.
Yes and thank you for that. She was Duchess of Devonshire whose grand daughter Stella Tennant left us not too long ago sadly. Diana descends from a more illustrious English background than many others mentioned here.
Also William won't be the first Stuart descended monarch since the 1700s, as all monarchs since that time have been descended from James VI and I via his daughter Elisabeth. William will however be the first monarch since then to be a descendant of Charles I, Charles II and James II.
Many people from cultures that practice some form of ancestor worship can do that. We don't have to be part of the elite to do so. Families in said cultures often keep written records or detailed oral traditions of the family tree that keeps accumulating with each generation and gets passed down. In some countries/areas (whose civilizations are thousands of years old), Family registries are incredibly important government documents that act as social security. Even poor working class can trace their ancestors and family origins back to regional tribes and clans that they branched off from.
@@thisasiankidistrashfordram374what if your parents are from two different countries? Mexico and Honduras. Which are heavily populated with indigenous blood.
Wait, every monarch since 1701 is a Stuart descendant. William III was the son of James II's sister, while Mary II and Queen Anne were his daughters. Then, all the Hannoverians (and therefore the windsor) are descendants of Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I, that's how they got their claim on the British throne.
I watched a documentary yesterday about the two Prince in the tower of London who definitely died in the tower and dispose by someone who really want to take over the crown the suspect or the main culprit is their uncle Richard lll act as Lord Protector of Edward V because he was only 12 Years old and too young to be King , but more historian somehow convince that is not their uncle Richard lll who order to killed her two nephews the Princes in the Tower they said that the Tudors Henry Vll Elizabeth l uncle has more motive than Richard lll because the Tudors are determined to snatched the crown from the Plantagenet when Richard lll died in the battlefield his remains were excavated in the Parking lot in 2012 then Henry Vll Tudor became king of England but Edward lV and Richard lll had a younger brother name George Plantagenet which at the time is the rightful Heir to be King of England and George Plantagenet descendants is a British Farmer who had lived in Australia name Michael Hastings died in 2012 there's a documentary the real monarchs and They was able to interview Hasting and Hasting was aware that he's a descendants of the Plantagenet but had no plan to claim , so all of the Tudors got into power because they are all murdered the Plantagenet including the last known woman who also came from Plantagenet line was been executed order by Henry Vlll because she was a threat and people knew at the time that they are the rightful Heir. I was really fascinated yesterday about the two Prince in the tower of London and I think they should really examine the bones that they excavated in the tower of London to see if those belong to young Princes.
Fun fact: According to my great-great-grandmother's genealogy notes, she had a cousin that lived in Canada married a woman whose mother was a cousin to Winston Churchill. So my family is related to The Churchills through marriage!
My husband is also a descendant of The Royals and it begins in his genealobgy line from King Henry the 2nd down too his mother. (Plantangnet and Tudors) So he is also a distant cousin of Winton Churchill, General Sherman, and Princess Katherine and Princess Diana, Several Presidents of the U.S. as well. I am related to a few Pres of the U.S. also, but not the same as my husband. Actualy soem how the wif of Kng Henry the 8th Katherine of Aragan , also is in his family tree! It crosses a few tiem over and over. Tey married in and also with other countries as well. They tired to keep the wars down and the money in the family, as it seems. Soyou must be related to my husband some how?
If you’ve seen the movie The Duchess, it’s about the daughter of John Spencer, 1st Earl Spencer who is played by Keira Knightly. Like another famous Spencer woman, she had three people in her marriage 👀
Funny enough, Winston could’ve been a Duke. He was offered the title “Duke of London” by the King after WWII, but turned it down because he didn’t have the funds to support the highlife expected of a British duke
Not just that, he refused a hereditary peerage so that his son (and quite frankly, I believe he had this expectation of all of his descendants) can take up a seat in the House of Commons.
This is very well put together and clearly presented! I used to work at Blenheim Palace, the home of the Dukes of Marlborough. I've actually met both the 11th and 12th Duke, and I was working there when the 11th Duke died and the 12th Duke took over. The 11th Duke used to walk around the palace turning off all the lights because he didn't want the high electricity bill - and then we had to go around after him turning them all back on again because the palace is open to visitors! There's also a Winston Churchill exhibition at the palace, as he was also born there (and is also buried there). A lot of people used to get confused and say "Oh...so Winston Churchill was also a Duke??!". I had to answer that question multiple times a day. Winston was Godfather to the 11th Duke though.
I remember that room off the main hall with Winston memorabilia, including his American passport that he was given as an honor. I can't remember if he was born in that room or that's just where all his stuff was displayed.
I live nearby, so I know what you mean, but Winston Churchill isn’t buried in Blenheim Palace and you won’t see his grave on a palace tour. He’s buried close by at St Martin’s Church, Bladon, which is free to visit. Blenheim Palace is in the parish. His and his wife’s tombs resting places are very simple and surprisingly low key, in this charming country churchyard. Another wonderful place to visit is his own country home, Chartwell in Kent, where he entertained wrote and painted for over 40 years, including during both his terms as Prime Minister.
@@tommoncrieff1154 you are right of course, I was generilising really, as in it's very close by and you can visit whilst visiting the palace. I've never been to Kent but if I ever do I'll be sure to check it out!
Arabella's son by James II(the affair happened before James became king)was the duke of Berwick who fled to the continent when his father was defeated.His descendants are to be found in Spain including the Alba family -one ofSpain's top dynasties.
Correct. Arabella Churchill, sister of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, had 4 children with King James II. Their daughter, Henrietta FitzJames had a direct descendant, Adelaide Seymour, who married Lord Frederick Spencer, the 4th Earl Spencer.
I have always thought that Diana and W. Churchill were closer related because her father (John Spencer) is almost a look alike for Churchill. I guess some similarities skips through the generations (I myself look most like my grand grandfather's sister than anyone else on both sides of my family)
When something is so thorough and well done as these charts are, you wonder how a mistake got through. Diana’s younger brother is not John but Charles Spencer. Also note that William is a direct descendant of not one, but two Stuart Kings, the other is James II, offspring of his mistress.
Yes @usefulcharts that needs to be corrected as even the current Queen is descended from the Stuarts on both sides of her family actually. So William would not be the first.
@@edithengel2284 meh I'll never know why people attach any importance to that. The only remarkable thing about it o can see is that makes him a descendent of the Medici family.
@@StevvieD I get you. But I guess it's interesting that a king who had who had that many kids but no legitimate heir finally may finally get a descendant on the throne three hundred plus years later.
Diana, is my 9th cousin , once removed on my mother's side . Our common relative is, lady Alice Spencer ( 1625-1712 ) Countess of Drogheda ,, Her husband was Henry John Moore 1st Earl of Drogheda (1625- 1676) her daughter Mary E. Moore is my 8th Grand - mother and her sister Lady Mary Moore (1646 - 1677 ) who is lady Diana Spencer 's 8th Great-grand mother is my 8th great aunt.
I’m so happy to see a video on this, as I made a suggestion to explore the Spencer-Churchill’s while back. Genealogy is always endlessly fascinating, keep up the great work UsefulCharts!
Following another of Matt's videos the current heir of the jacobite succession is the future prince of Liechtenstein. Quite funny when you think about it. Revolting several times against german princes just to watch another german prince becoming the heir to one's preferred succession line :D But the Diana part is, intentional or not, at least a bit of reconciliation between the two factions. I guess the best thing to happen in this regard would be if the future prince of Liechtenstein had a daughter who married Prince George.
I was waiting for the IRISH part of Diana's family, this ancestor [Edmund Maurice Burke Roche] I thought was actually Irish. I thought that was the reason for how cute and ginger Prince Harry became!
science & genealogy shows Scotland Celts is a mix of northern IRISH migrations & local PICTS (as a whole pop. add in Nordic & some AngSax), so AGAIN red hair was from migrating CELTS and Scottish CELTS were from IRELAND. What I referenced was a report & article was CLEARLY discussing Diana had ancestry from a ?Grandmother/ mom's side from Ireland. Of course there's Scottish lineage so BOOM you get double recessive RED hair genes showing up in Diana's offspring with BOOM Charles' genealogy Check out Eupedia website under Celts & celtic_trivia also Redhair genes
@USNWaveRet Pure Irish don't have black hair. It's usually brown or ginger, blue eyes and fair skin. Though really that is description of both Irish and Scottish being Celts, but the origins are actually French. Especially as the Stewart's originate in France as well as some other branches of the Royal family tree.
@@sarahcrowley2277 I do agree with French and also Spanish. According to my brother's YDNA group... Irish are predominantly black hair. If you have red hair in the family it usually means of some Scottish ancestry. I've been researching my ancestry for 49 years and working with DNA (at, mt, and Y) since 2016. However, we are all made up from various parts of the European world. We are all a mix of many cultures... the further you go back. One side of my English traces back to Scotland, while the other side to Ireland (one set of maternal great grands). My other set of maternal great grands are from Prussia (along the Rhineland in what we know as Germany), but actually they were Jewish before converting. Yet another from my maternal great grands is my India connection, our Romani Gypsy heritage. My paternal is Irish with a spit of Danish. Research has also brought me to Spain on my Irish. There is still today a town in Spain that are Irish and I have DNA connections there. It's really quite interesting.
This was fabulous! I love genealogy and never knew all of Princess Diana’s relations. I knew her father was an earl but never really delved I to her family tree. Thank you for a great and clear explanation. 🧡🧡
I’ve looked back through many of the comments and can’t see any mention of a small error. Diana Spencer’s brother’s name is Charles Edward Maurice Spencer not John as said in your tree.
It would also be interesting to highlight the Irish descent of the two princes, through their grandmother Frances, the daughter of the 4th Baron Fermoy, whose wife Lady Fermoy was lady-in-waiting to the Queen mother as well and who practically set-up Lady Diana and Prince Charles together after Lady Sarah had introduced them.
How about making a video about the Dukes of Medinaceli who were past over claimants to the trone of Castile-Leon back in the 13th or 14th century and whose head is a young woman with over 40 noble titles including 10 spanish grandeeships? Or about the kings of Georgia who include a matrilineal marriage back in the 13th century?
Can you do a video on the branches of the House of Oldenburg and the many partitions of Schleswig Holstein and also why the full Gluksburg house name is so long?
Schleswig and Holstein were two principalities in the borderland between the HRE and Denmark. When a member of the Oldenburg family became ruler of this area, he was styled Count (Graf) of Schleswig-Holstein. When this family eventually split into several cadet branches, each of them kept the main Schleswig-Holstein part of the name and added the region where their (smaller) dominion was located, for example the branch ruling in the area of Sonderburg became "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg". When this branch later split again into branches located in Augustenburg or Glücksburg, they did the same, keeping the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg part and added the part where they were living, thus creating "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg" or "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg". And I wanna bet if that line had split again, they'd done the exact same thing again creating an even longer string of place names for an even smaller part of the realm :D Funfact: the later Romanows were also part of this multi branch family. When the Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorps married into the Romanow family, they created the line of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp-Romanow, but since the "Romanow" part was far more famous/prestigious than a junior branch of some random german principality, they were calling themselves just "Romanow".
Love your videos, only thing to point out is that the 9th Earl Spencer is Charles. He and Diana did have an older brother, John, but he died within 10 hours of his birth in 1960.
The Churchill’s are related to the Spencer’s through several lines. Arabella Churchill, sister of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, had 4 children with King James II. Their daughter, Henrietta FitzJames had a direct descendant, Adelaide Seymour, who married Lord Frederick Spencer, the 4th Earl Spencer.
Correction: the office of Lord High Treasurer is not directly held by the Prime Minister - the office is held in commission by a number of commissioners, of whom the Prime Minister is one as First Lord of the Treasury, alongside the Chancellor of the Exchequer as the Second Lord of the Treasury, and a number of government whips as junior lords commissioners.

Ok let’s correct something…..the style ‘Princess Diana’ is incorrect as she was not a blood princess and therefore could not have the prefix ‘Princess’ before her name. So she was never Princess Diana. When married she was HRH The Princess Charles, Princess of Wales (taking the feminine form of her husbands title) and after her divorce she was styled simply as Diana, Princess of Wales (the accepted title of the divorced wife of The Prince of Wales).
@@AnnaBomBanana But referring to her as such was always incorrect, no matter how often the media and public called her that. @B C I believe that after her divorce she was strictly speaking Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, but as she did not live for very long after the divorce the media and the public never really got used to calling her Lady Diana again.
@@AnnaBomBanana Would you refer to Prince Charles current wife as ‘Princess Camilla’? Or Princess Catherine of Cambridge, Princess Meghan of Sussex? No, because that would be incorrect. Diana was affectionately known as ‘Princess Diana’, but it was always so odd and annoying how widespread it was used.
@@luvhart Diana had poise and class and was an advocate for humanitarian actions, so she deserved the title Princess. Had she lived and stayed married she would have been a Queen.
If you consider doing another video of this type, I would suggest the family of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (the famous Napoleonic War admiral who died at Trafalgar) - there's a couple interesting branches to trace down (as well as a daughter that was the result of a very high profile affair at the time)!
Slight mistake...Diana Princess of Wales had a brother that was a still born before her...he was called John...Diana's younger brother and current Earl is Charles Spencer
So listen guys: Randolph Churchill's father is Winston Churchill, whose father is Randolph Churchill, whose father is Winston Churchill, whose father is Randolph Churchill, whose father is Winston Churchill. 🤔
The Spencer's are Native British and the Royal family is from the Germanic tribe. My grandfather told me that. I always wondered what he meant. There's lots of royal people that don't live in Castles. The Irish for example.
The Germans go back so many generations (Victoria's father and husband) that it doesn't matter. My people came from Russia, but that doesn't make me Russian.
The Hanover line is also descended from the Stuart line. So the descendants of the Stuarts are still in power and never lost it. Also, the Jacobite line didn’t go through Charles II, it went through his younger brother, James, hence the name ‘Jacobite’.
I wish you had the Jennie Jerome line done. I am supposed to be from that line, as she was American. Thanks for the videos. I love the charts you have created.
Also , Prince Harry kids , As much as you may disagree with me or disowned his kids have more of the Spencer heritage than his brother William kids , The Red Hair , and it's said by the UK Royal Family Documentary Lily Diana is the only Grandchild of Charles and Diana with their Blue Eye Color,
Diana’s brother is called Charles, not John. John was the name of her parents’ first son (born before Diana) who, sadly, didn’t live. Although, if he had, Diana’s parents might not have had her and we’d have a very different royal family today.
I would love for you to do a tree for the D'Anglure's (Ogier), crusaders, who much later funded monastries for the Templar's....some great stories. I believe these are Churchill's ancestors.
Isn't Sarah Ferguson related to Diana and Kate Middleton is also related to Jane Austen. You can do Sarah or Kate or Princess Beatrice husband lineage next
Very timely video after the court finding yesterday making everyone ask who she was and how was it considered normal for her to be expected to accept the life of being a formal wife and a concubine in the background.
@@Stettafire I'm not sure, but I think Fit means that one woman was being expected to accept the role of a formal wife, whilst a different woman was the concubine in the background. So I'd guess they're talking about Diana and Camilla. I could be wrong though, as I don't think there was a court case yesterday involving either of them.
Hi, I know this is an old video, but based on your recent video on a lot of US presidents being related to each other in some way I have been compiling data and making a chart on how a lot of UK prime ministers are related to each other. Interestingly someone who holds a lot of prime ministers together is on this chart, that being Henrietta Churchill, 2nd Duchess of Marlborough. Her daughter married prime minister Thomas Pelham-Holmes (4th PM) who can be linked to the 3 before him relatively easily, and her son married Maria Catherina de Jonge who remarried Sir William Wyndham whose daughter links to the Grenville and Pitt families, and George Grenville's (7th PM) mother was a descendent of the hugely influential Temple family which links to more still. Also Winston Churchill's niece married Anthony Eden which was another easy link within the Spencer-Churchill Dynasty. When I have finished the chart (I currently have 13 PMs on it) I hope that you can use it in a video. I hope you see this
I love how Winston Churchill’s bloodline is like “Names son partially after his father, son names his own son after his father” and the latter repeats like 2 more times with a constant back-and-forth of Winston and Randolph 😂
Diana's brother is Charles Edward Maurice Spencer. Your chart has him listed as John Spencer. John is not one of his name's. Her father (Edward John Spencer) was called John Spencer.
It is known as the Principality of Mindelheim. John Churchill became The Prince of Mindelheim in the Holy Roman Empire, and it is not just an honorary title, the title itself had weight because Mindelheim was back then one of the mediatized principalities like the principalities of Thurn and Taxis, Furstenberg, Schwarzenberg, Saxe-Meinigen - meaning John Churchill and his family were considered equals to any other royal families. Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland's wife was technically Her Serene Highness Princess Anne of Mindelheim. The thing is, German titles follow a very strict salic law which doesn't allow the titles to be passed down to or through the female line. I believe there was once an appeal or suggestion from The King of Prussia (who later became German Emperors) and the Prince of Anhalt that they should allow Churchill's imperial titles should be passed down successively to all the heirs of Marlborough’s body but the princes were opposed. So imagine if that suggestion was allowed, then Diana would have truly been a princess in her own right lol 😁
Not sure if there is a connection but Camilla, Charles' current wife was a Shand as was Diana's mother's second marriage albeit Shand Kydd being the surname!
@@thejuryspeaks I know. We had an American standing in the recent London mayoral election, who claimed he was 'running' for mayor and kept referring to Londoners living in 'burrows'. He didn't get very far...
Actually the Queen Mother is said to also be a descendant of Charles II, so Queen Elizabeth II would be the first of his bloodline since that time. IMO Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon also needs her own tree since she's also a Boleyn and a Tudor through Princess Mary, Henry VII's younger sister.
Where did you hear that from? While Queen Mother was indeed a descendant of Mary Boleyn and Princess Mary Tudor, there is no direct connection between her and Charles II.
@@LoyalHistoryBuff Hm, maybe I was wrong and just thinking of Lady Alice, the late Duchess of Gloucester. www.townandcountrymag.com/society/a20736482/british-royal-family-tree/ Though I believe Queen mother and Diana are distant cousins, so maybe there could be a connection. Charles II did have several illegitimate children.
It is Diana, Princess of Wales or Lady Diana Spencer. Although she was born an aristocrat, she was not born royal to be called Princess Diana. It is just a habit because it looks "nice". Your report is great, just found your channel in my feed.
Corrections:
- William will be the first British monarch since Queen Anne to descend from Charles I, not the first "Stuart-descended" king. (All British monarchs from George I on descend from James I).
- The current Earl Spencer is named Charles, not John.

But the family trees without wives look odd and we could see more interesting connections from those, now only some are included.
Wait, aren't all the current monarchs still descended from William The Conqueror? Meaning that they are also all descended from Charles I?
Well, Charles I was a Stuart, so you were right. And as you said, not through the line that the Jacobites count. Also, All monarchs from 1603 descend from James I, as even William III was a grandson of James I through his mother, Mary Stuart, and the Cromwells were officially not monarchs.
They say the Spencer family was actually more Royal then the Windsor's.
Which is why Queen Elizabeth II encouraged Prince Charles to marry a Spencer woman, either Lady Sarah, Diana's older sister, or Lady Diana. Charles married Lady Diana, and their son, Prince William, carries both Stuart blood in him from the deposed monarchy, as well as Windsor blood, uniting the two claims. It's similar to the united houses of York and Lancaster through Henry Tudor's marriage to Elizabeth of York, producing King Henry VIII of England.
I like your comment being that my birth name is Spencer, although I live in New England, USA.
@@EyreAffair the Spencer has more English blood than the Windsor .
What do you mean when you say "royal"? The Spencers only have a british royal connection through two illegitimate Stuart lines while the Windsors are descendants of a legitimate line. They are also related to many european noble dynasties (like the Houses of Welf, Hohenzollern and Mecklenburg or the royal House of Denmark), all of which are way older than the Spencer or Churchill families. The House of Wettin itself (to which Queen Elizabeth technically belongs) can trace it origins back to the 10th century. Margrave Frederick I. of Meissen, a direct male-line ancestor of the Queen, was the grandson of Emperor Frederick II., so the Wettins can even claim to be the rightful heirs to the House of Hohenstaufen as well as to the previous imperial dynasties (the Salians and Ottonians).

@@kate_cooper You do have a point. Even Camila's great-grandmother was also one of his mistresses.
@@sm_mikhailovna5126 Yep. Alice Keppel.
There could be a chance that Winston Churchill is an illegitimate son of Edward VII
@@marcusq4807 Yep. Just like Barbara Bush is the illegitimate daughter of Aleister Crowley and Prince Harry is the illegitimate son of Diana's riding instructor, James Hewitt.
I also knew that one of Lady Diana's most famous ancestors is Lady Georgiana Cavendish. I love their similarities.
@Lisa Mathis omg which one? 😍
Ladia Georgiana Cavendish is the great great grandmother of the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson
Search for Chatsworth House and there's a documentary on her.
And John Wilmot! ( The Libertine)
Yes and thank you for that. She was Duchess of Devonshire whose grand daughter Stella Tennant left us not too long ago sadly. Diana descends from a more illustrious English background than many others mentioned here.
Great video - however the name of Diana’s living brother is Charles (the current Earl). John died shortly after his birth.
Don't know how he got this wrong.
Also William won't be the first Stuart descended monarch since the 1700s, as all monarchs since that time have been descended from James VI and I via his daughter Elisabeth. William will however be the first monarch since then to be a descendant of Charles I, Charles II and James II.
@@MrDannyDetail I get Charles I and II, but how James II?
@@twahaalim5712 Diana was descended from illegitimate children of both Charles II and James II who were both sons of Charles I
@@pedanticradiator1491 Interestingly, James II’s mistress who Diana is descended from was Arabella Churchill, the sister of John Churchill.
can you imagine knowing all these relations of generatios about your family? so freaking fascinanting!
I've been on my search thinking we came from poor farmers. I was very surprised to find I was very wrong.
i can actually. my family is very peasant, and even then i managed to trace some lines to late 17th century
genealogy is fun
Many people from cultures that practice some form of ancestor worship can do that. We don't have to be part of the elite to do so. Families in said cultures often keep written records or detailed oral traditions of the family tree that keeps accumulating with each generation and gets passed down.
In some countries/areas (whose civilizations are thousands of years old), Family registries are incredibly important government documents that act as social security. Even poor working class can trace their ancestors and family origins back to regional tribes and clans that they branched off from.
I can trace my family to Robert the Bruce, the first king of Scotland.
@@thisasiankidistrashfordram374what if your parents are from two different countries? Mexico and Honduras. Which are heavily populated with indigenous blood.
Wait, every monarch since 1701 is a Stuart descendant. William III was the son of James II's sister, while Mary II and Queen Anne were his daughters. Then, all the Hannoverians (and therefore the windsor) are descendants of Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I, that's how they got their claim on the British throne.
Yeah, you're right. We meant "Charles I" descendant.

I watched a documentary yesterday about the two Prince in the tower of London who definitely died in the tower and dispose by someone who really want to take over the crown the suspect or the main culprit is their uncle Richard lll act as Lord Protector of Edward V because he was only 12 Years old and too young to be King , but more historian somehow convince that is not their uncle Richard lll who order to killed her two nephews the Princes in the Tower they said that the Tudors Henry Vll Elizabeth l uncle has more motive than Richard lll because the Tudors are determined to snatched the crown from the Plantagenet when Richard lll died in the battlefield his remains were excavated in the Parking lot in 2012 then Henry Vll Tudor became king of England but Edward lV and Richard lll had a younger brother name George Plantagenet which at the time is the rightful Heir to be King of England and George Plantagenet descendants is a British Farmer who had lived in Australia name Michael Hastings died in 2012 there's a documentary the real monarchs and They was able to interview Hasting and Hasting was aware that he's a descendants of the Plantagenet but had no plan to claim , so all of the Tudors got into power because they are all murdered the Plantagenet including the last known woman who also came from Plantagenet line was been executed order by Henry Vlll because she was a threat and people knew at the time that they are the rightful Heir. I was really fascinated yesterday about the two Prince in the tower of London and I think they should really examine the bones that they excavated in the tower of London to see if those belong to young Princes.
Fun fact: According to my great-great-grandmother's genealogy notes, she had a cousin that lived in Canada married a woman whose mother was a cousin to Winston Churchill. So my family is related to The Churchills through marriage!
So your mother's cousin married a woman whose mother's cousin was winstone Churchill. Nice pattern
My husband is also a descendant of The Royals and it begins in his genealobgy line from King Henry the 2nd down too his mother. (Plantangnet and Tudors) So he is also a distant cousin of Winton Churchill, General Sherman, and Princess Katherine and Princess Diana, Several Presidents of the U.S. as well. I am related to a few Pres of the U.S. also, but not the same as my husband. Actualy soem how the wif of Kng Henry the 8th Katherine of Aragan , also is in his family tree! It crosses a few tiem over and over. Tey married in and also with other countries as well. They tired to keep the wars down and the money in the family, as it seems. Soyou must be related to my husband some how?
I feel honored to have met Winston Churchill's 5th cousin in-law 4 times removed on the internet.
Lucky day I guess
If you’ve seen the movie The Duchess, it’s about the daughter of John Spencer, 1st Earl Spencer who is played by Keira Knightly. Like another famous Spencer woman, she had three people in her marriage 👀
Funny enough, Winston could’ve been a Duke. He was offered the title “Duke of London” by the King after WWII, but turned it down because he didn’t have the funds to support the highlife expected of a British duke
Hy you exactly right
Not just that, he refused a hereditary peerage so that his son (and quite frankly, I believe he had this expectation of all of his descendants) can take up a seat in the House of Commons.
He was twice offered a dukdom first Dover after the war then secondly London when he resigned as PM I'm the 1950s
I was under the impression that Winston Churchill was actually born in Ireland and moved to England when he was 3
@@joannechurchill1004 where did you get that impression from?
there was also Lady Georgiana Spencer, Keira Knightley acted as Georgiana in movie The Duchess. She was the great-great-great-great aunt of Diana
@Anonymus X Yeah watch it if you can, you will be surprised from the story.
Lady Georgiana Spencer is also the great great great grandmother of the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson.
She married the Duke of Devonshire ( Chatsworth) and one of the descendants married Kathleen Kennedy ( JF Kennedy's sister who died in plane crash)
This is very well put together and clearly presented! I used to work at Blenheim Palace, the home of the Dukes of Marlborough. I've actually met both the 11th and 12th Duke, and I was working there when the 11th Duke died and the 12th Duke took over. The 11th Duke used to walk around the palace turning off all the lights because he didn't want the high electricity bill - and then we had to go around after him turning them all back on again because the palace is open to visitors! There's also a Winston Churchill exhibition at the palace, as he was also born there (and is also buried there). A lot of people used to get confused and say "Oh...so Winston Churchill was also a Duke??!". I had to answer that question multiple times a day. Winston was Godfather to the 11th Duke though.
I remember that room off the main hall with Winston memorabilia, including his American passport that he was given as an honor. I can't remember if he was born in that room or that's just where all his stuff was displayed.
I visited Blenheim Palace and I marveled at all of it. I was there when the eclipse happened. It was quite weird!
Winston was offered the Dukedom of London but actually refused it ! But I imagine you mean they thought he was a duke of Marlborough
I live nearby, so I know what you mean, but Winston Churchill isn’t buried in Blenheim Palace and you won’t see his grave on a palace tour. He’s buried close by at St Martin’s Church, Bladon, which is free to visit. Blenheim Palace is in the parish. His and his wife’s tombs resting places are very simple and surprisingly low key, in this charming country churchyard. Another wonderful place to visit is his own country home, Chartwell in Kent, where he entertained wrote and painted for over 40 years, including during both his terms as Prime Minister.
@@tommoncrieff1154 you are right of course, I was generilising really, as in it's very close by and you can visit whilst visiting the palace. I've never been to Kent but if I ever do I'll be sure to check it out!

The Spencers are also said to be descendants of James II through (correct me if I'm wrong) Arabella Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough's sister.
Thank you. I just went into short rabbit hole and learned something new ;)
@@kolomaznik333 Blame Useful Charts LOL ETA: And the Great Courses
Arabella's son by James II(the affair happened before James became king)was the duke of Berwick who fled to the continent when his father was defeated.His descendants are to be found in Spain including the Alba family -one ofSpain's top dynasties.
@@kaloarepo288 Love to watch Jordi Alba play for Spain in Euro 2021. ⚽⚽⚽
Correct. Arabella Churchill, sister of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, had 4 children with King James II. Their daughter, Henrietta FitzJames had a direct descendant, Adelaide Seymour, who married Lord Frederick Spencer, the 4th Earl Spencer.
I have always thought that Diana and W. Churchill were closer related because her father (John Spencer) is almost a look alike for Churchill. I guess some similarities skips through the generations (I myself look most like my grand grandfather's sister than anyone else on both sides of my family)
You should do a video on the house of Iturbide , the mexican imperial house , their history is very interesting
As a distant relation of Her Imperial Majesty Empress Ana Maria, Iturbide's wife - I would agree to that suggestion.
I have to thank you for mentioning Lindsay Holiday. Her videos are very educative just as these ones are. You should do a collab someday!
When something is so thorough and well done as these charts are, you wonder how a mistake got through. Diana’s younger brother is not John but Charles Spencer. Also note that William is a direct descendant of not one, but two Stuart Kings, the other is James II, offspring of his mistress.
She did have an older brother John who died in infancy a year before she was born.
They are all Stuart (by Hanoverian) descendent in the royal bloodline. You must mean Jacobite when you say the descendent of Fitzroy.
There is also a half brother to Mary Queen of Scots who also had woman decents.
Yes @usefulcharts that needs to be corrected as even the current Queen is descended from the Stuarts on both sides of her family actually. So William would not be the first.
@@StevvieD The first to be descended from Charles II, I think.
@@edithengel2284 meh I'll never know why people attach any importance to that. The only remarkable thing about it o can see is that makes him a descendent of the Medici family.
@@StevvieD I get you. But I guess it's interesting that a king who had who had that many kids but no legitimate heir finally may finally get a descendant on the throne three hundred plus years later.

I’m so happy to see a video on this, as I made a suggestion to explore the Spencer-Churchill’s while back. Genealogy is always endlessly fascinating, keep up the great work UsefulCharts!
As a Jacobite I can say it's not what we were hoping for, but we're not UNhappy with this arrangement.
Following another of Matt's videos the current heir of the jacobite succession is the future prince of Liechtenstein. Quite funny when you think about it. Revolting several times against german princes just to watch another german prince becoming the heir to one's preferred succession line :D
But the Diana part is, intentional or not, at least a bit of reconciliation between the two factions.
I guess the best thing to happen in this regard would be if the future prince of Liechtenstein had a daughter who married Prince George.

I was waiting for the IRISH part of Diana's family, this ancestor [Edmund Maurice Burke Roche] I thought was actually Irish. I thought that was the reason for how cute and ginger Prince Harry became!
Red hair is more associated with Scotland. Irish are more likely to be black hair.
science & genealogy shows Scotland Celts is a mix of northern IRISH migrations & local PICTS (as a whole pop. add in Nordic & some AngSax), so AGAIN red hair was from migrating CELTS and Scottish CELTS were from IRELAND. What I referenced was a report & article was CLEARLY discussing Diana had ancestry from a ?Grandmother/ mom's side from Ireland. Of course there's Scottish lineage so BOOM you get double recessive RED hair genes showing up in Diana's offspring with BOOM Charles' genealogy Check out Eupedia website under Celts & celtic_trivia also Redhair genes
@USNWaveRet Pure Irish don't have black hair. It's usually brown or ginger, blue eyes and fair skin. Though really that is description of both Irish and Scottish being Celts, but the origins are actually French. Especially as the Stewart's originate in France as well as some other branches of the Royal family tree.
@@sarahcrowley2277 I do agree with French and also Spanish. According to my brother's YDNA group... Irish are predominantly black hair. If you have red hair in the family it usually means of some Scottish ancestry. I've been researching my ancestry for 49 years and working with DNA (at, mt, and Y) since 2016. However, we are all made up from various parts of the European world. We are all a mix of many cultures... the further you go back. One side of my English traces back to Scotland, while the other side to Ireland (one set of maternal great grands). My other set of maternal great grands are from Prussia (along the Rhineland in what we know as Germany), but actually they were Jewish before converting. Yet another from my maternal great grands is my India connection, our Romani Gypsy heritage. My paternal is Irish with a spit of Danish. Research has also brought me to Spain on my Irish. There is still today a town in Spain that are Irish and I have DNA connections there. It's really quite interesting.
@@USNWaveRet fascinating!

John was an older brother who died in infancy a year before Diana was born.

All of the current Royal Family is Stuart descended. Elizabeth Stuart - Sophia of Hanover - George I of Britain
John Locke once wrote:
"All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it"
It would also be interesting to highlight the Irish descent of the two princes, through their grandmother Frances, the daughter of the 4th Baron Fermoy, whose wife Lady Fermoy was lady-in-waiting to the Queen mother as well and who practically set-up Lady Diana and Prince Charles together after Lady Sarah had introduced them.
How about making a video about the Dukes of Medinaceli who were past over claimants to the trone of Castile-Leon back in the 13th or 14th century and whose head is a young woman with over 40 noble titles including 10 spanish grandeeships? Or about the kings of Georgia who include a matrilineal marriage back in the 13th century?
Fancy doing my family tree and showing how I'm related to King Edward I
Princess Diana s maternal grandfather was Irish a Burke Roche who held an estate in Tranolgan county Cork
Maurice Roche, 4th Baron of Fermoy. Probably with French ancestry. Do you mean Trabolgan?
I remember learning that they were related and thinking it makes sense in a weird way

my two favorite history channels!!
Can you do a video on the branches of the House of Oldenburg and the many partitions of Schleswig Holstein and also why the full Gluksburg house name is so long?
Schleswig and Holstein were two principalities in the borderland between the HRE and Denmark.
When a member of the Oldenburg family became ruler of this area, he was styled Count (Graf) of Schleswig-Holstein.
When this family eventually split into several cadet branches, each of them kept the main Schleswig-Holstein part of the name and added the region where their (smaller) dominion was located, for example the branch ruling in the area of Sonderburg became "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg".
When this branch later split again into branches located in Augustenburg or Glücksburg, they did the same, keeping the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg part and added the part where they were living, thus creating "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg" or "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg".
And I wanna bet if that line had split again, they'd done the exact same thing again creating an even longer string of place names for an even smaller part of the realm :D
Funfact: the later Romanows were also part of this multi branch family. When the Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorps married into the Romanow family, they created the line of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp-Romanow, but since the "Romanow" part was far more famous/prestigious than a junior branch of some random german principality, they were calling themselves just "Romanow".
Love your videos, only thing to point out is that the 9th Earl Spencer is Charles. He and Diana did have an older brother, John, but he died within 10 hours of his birth in 1960.
The Churchill’s are related to the Spencer’s through several lines. Arabella Churchill, sister of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, had 4 children with King James II. Their daughter, Henrietta FitzJames had a direct descendant, Adelaide Seymour, who married Lord Frederick Spencer, the 4th Earl Spencer.
Correction: the office of Lord High Treasurer is not directly held by the Prime Minister - the office is held in commission by a number of commissioners, of whom the Prime Minister is one as First Lord of the Treasury, alongside the Chancellor of the Exchequer as the Second Lord of the Treasury, and a number of government whips as junior lords commissioners.

Ok let’s correct something…..the style ‘Princess Diana’ is incorrect as she was not a blood princess and therefore could not have the prefix ‘Princess’ before her name. So she was never Princess Diana. When married she was HRH The Princess Charles, Princess of Wales (taking the feminine form of her husbands title) and after her divorce she was styled simply as Diana, Princess of Wales (the accepted title of the divorced wife of The Prince of Wales).
Diana was always referred to as ‘Princess Diana’
@@AnnaBomBanana But referring to her as such was always incorrect, no matter how often the media and public called her that.
@B C I believe that after her divorce she was strictly speaking Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, but as she did not live for very long after the divorce the media and the public never really got used to calling her Lady Diana again.
@@AnnaBomBanana Would you refer to Prince Charles current wife as ‘Princess Camilla’? Or Princess Catherine of Cambridge, Princess Meghan of Sussex? No, because that would be incorrect. Diana was affectionately known as ‘Princess Diana’, but it was always so odd and annoying how widespread it was used.
@@luvhart Diana had poise and class and was an advocate for humanitarian actions, so she deserved the title Princess. Had she lived and stayed married she would have been a Queen.
@@AnnaBomBanana Just stating facts
If you consider doing another video of this type, I would suggest the family of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (the famous Napoleonic War admiral who died at Trafalgar) - there's a couple interesting branches to trace down (as well as a daughter that was the result of a very high profile affair at the time)!
Slight mistake...Diana Princess of Wales had a brother that was a still born before her...he was called John...Diana's younger brother and current Earl is Charles Spencer
So listen guys: Randolph Churchill's father is Winston Churchill, whose father is Randolph Churchill, whose father is Winston Churchill, whose father is Randolph Churchill, whose father is Winston Churchill.

The Spencer's are Native British and the Royal family is from the Germanic tribe. My grandfather told me that. I always wondered what he meant. There's lots of royal people that don't live in Castles. The Irish for example.
The Spencers claim descent from the medieval Despencers who were of French origin
The Germans go back so many generations (Victoria's father and husband) that it doesn't matter. My people came from Russia, but that doesn't make me Russian.
No one born in the royal family has been born in Germany since 1707
The Hanover line is also descended from the Stuart line. So the descendants of the Stuarts are still in power and never lost it. Also, the Jacobite line didn’t go through Charles II, it went through his younger brother, James, hence the name ‘Jacobite’.
I wish you had the Jennie Jerome line done. I am supposed to be from that line, as she was American.
Thanks for the videos. I love the charts you have created.
"This is a very old family"
All families are equally old.
Harry looks exactly like his cousin Louis Spencer in the photos in the family tree!
Also , Prince Harry kids , As much as you may disagree with me or disowned his kids have more of the Spencer heritage than his brother William kids , The Red Hair , and it's said by the UK Royal Family Documentary Lily Diana is the only Grandchild of Charles and Diana with their Blue Eye Color,
Diana’s brother is called Charles, not John.
John was the name of her parents’ first son (born before Diana) who, sadly, didn’t live. Although, if he had, Diana’s parents might not have had her and we’d have a very different royal family today.
I would love for you to do a tree for the D'Anglure's (Ogier), crusaders, who much later funded monastries for the Templar's....some great stories. I believe these are Churchill's ancestors.

Hi, I know this is an old video, but based on your recent video on a lot of US presidents being related to each other in some way I have been compiling data and making a chart on how a lot of UK prime ministers are related to each other. Interestingly someone who holds a lot of prime ministers together is on this chart, that being Henrietta Churchill, 2nd Duchess of Marlborough. Her daughter married prime minister Thomas Pelham-Holmes (4th PM) who can be linked to the 3 before him relatively easily, and her son married Maria Catherina de Jonge who remarried Sir William Wyndham whose daughter links to the Grenville and Pitt families, and George Grenville's (7th PM) mother was a descendent of the hugely influential Temple family which links to more still. Also Winston Churchill's niece married Anthony Eden which was another easy link within the Spencer-Churchill Dynasty. When I have finished the chart (I currently have 13 PMs on it) I hope that you can use it in a video. I hope you see this
Oops, I guess someone forgot to add links to either Lindsay Holiday's channel or video.
So I've searched it up myself.
Fixed it.
I love how Winston Churchill’s bloodline is like “Names son partially after his father, son names his own son after his father” and the latter repeats like 2 more times with a constant back-and-forth of Winston and Randolph 😂
Diana's brother is Charles Edward Maurice Spencer. Your chart has him listed as John Spencer. John is not one of his name's. Her father (Edward John Spencer) was called John Spencer.
She had an older brother named John who died in infancy a year before Diana was born.
The Spencer brother to Diana is known as Charles, Earl Spencer. Not John. John was stillborn.
So Diana and Churchhill were distant realtives. AND NOONE TOLD ME ABOUT IT
Well don't be so lazy and do your own research!
The name of lady Diana Spencer’s younger brother is Charles and not John. The current Earl of Spencee
Until this video, I've never been semantically satiated with my own name before. I'm having an identity crisis halp

Is the Spencer related to the Despenser family that had influence on Edward II?
No
I believe they claimed to be but it had since been proved wrong
Can u make the malaysian - pahang royal family dynasty?
What was the name of the pricipalaty given to the churchills?
It is known as the Principality of Mindelheim. John Churchill became The Prince of Mindelheim in the Holy Roman Empire, and it is not just an honorary title, the title itself had weight because Mindelheim was back then one of the mediatized principalities like the principalities of Thurn and Taxis, Furstenberg, Schwarzenberg, Saxe-Meinigen - meaning John Churchill and his family were considered equals to any other royal families. Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland's wife was technically Her Serene Highness Princess Anne of Mindelheim. The thing is, German titles follow a very strict salic law which doesn't allow the titles to be passed down to or through the female line. I believe there was once an appeal or suggestion from The King of Prussia (who later became German Emperors) and the Prince of Anhalt that they should allow Churchill's imperial titles should be passed down successively to all the heirs of Marlborough’s body but the princes were opposed. So imagine if that suggestion was allowed, then Diana would have truly been a princess in her own right lol 😁
Could u do other noble families?
I'm already subscribed to Lindsay's channel but thanks for the shout out.
Isn’t Queen Elizabeth II a descendant of James 1? Meaning there are already Stuart descendants on the throne.
Indeed. It's as recent as Elizabeth Stuart if not more so.
William will be the first descendant of Charles II to occupy the throne, but obviously not the first Stuart descendant.
Not sure if there is a connection but Camilla, Charles' current wife was a Shand as was Diana's mother's second marriage albeit Shand Kydd being the surname!
There is no connection just a coincidence
Your pronunciation of' 'Marlborough' is hilarious.
He’s American obviously
@@thejuryspeaks I know. We had an American standing in the recent London mayoral election, who claimed he was 'running' for mayor and kept referring to Londoners living in 'burrows'. He didn't get very far...
Actually the Queen Mother is said to also be a descendant of Charles II, so Queen Elizabeth II would be the first of his bloodline since that time. IMO Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon also needs her own tree since she's also a Boleyn and a Tudor through Princess Mary, Henry VII's younger sister.
Where did you hear that from? While Queen Mother was indeed a descendant of Mary Boleyn and Princess Mary Tudor, there is no direct connection between her and Charles II.

Though I believe Queen mother and Diana are distant cousins, so maybe there could be a connection. Charles II did have several illegitimate children.
Do you have charts on Queen Victoria's line?
I recently saw a movie called Jenny about Winston Churchill’s mother-She was unconventional indeed and it was great!
Im still waiting the video of the Queen Sofia of Spain...
please please please
It is Diana, Princess of Wales or Lady Diana Spencer. Although she was born an aristocrat, she was not born royal to be called Princess Diana. It is just a habit because it looks "nice".
Your report is great, just found your channel in my feed.
Nice video. Love from Pakistan.
I have my family Tree upto almost upto 75 direct forefathers where from i am decendant.
There is an error in the chart. Diana's brothers' name is not "John" it's Charles Edward Maurice Spencer the 9th Earl Spencer.
May our great leady Dianna rest in peace.
