The Tudors: Real Life Descendants of King Henry VIII

[chykim1]

im kinda feeling like..so what??

[emeraldwarrior13]

darn i wish i had royal blood

[MrCutsteel]

@emeraldwarrior13: How do you know you don't?

[AuthorBritanniaSmith]

I'm a relative as well. Henry is my first cousin, 16X removed. I'm related to him through his mother's sister, Princess Cicely, daughter of King Edward IV, who is my 16th Great-Grandfather.

Anne Boleyn is also a first cousin of mine, 15X removed. Thus I am also related to Katerine Howard.

[Ataralas]

I should point out that despite the title of this video, none of these people are actual descendants of Henry VIII himself, but his distant relatives and descendants of his closer relatives. They are not the same thing.

[Ataralas]

Queen Anne Boleyn did not have a sister who was another Anne Boleyn. That other Anne was her FATHER'S sister who married Sir John Shelton of whom my grandfather is a direct descendant.

[lukeallcock2]

this is clearly for Americans.

[mrlopez2681]

the way that this doc was put together is pretty silly, particularly all that "stately" music that only American would equate with a British accent.

[Hotpinkpointshoes]

I'm related to him through Mary Queen of Scots

[kakiharaification]

Im not into all that toff shite but they had great great executions and torture scenes back in those days!!

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

I have first cousins descended from Queen Victoria. They are middle class, not upper class.

[Wiccanboy17]

What alot of you people keep forgetting is that alot of americans are desendants of royals. And the Queen does so much work for the unfortuante long with the rest of the royal family.

[rfw45]

Don't hurt your local business people. Storm The Palace. There is where the enemy is. Kill the Queen and all her family and all that she stands for....We in the west know it, but won't say it.

[xexixk]

@rfw45 Um you do realize don't you that the Queen has no real power - it's the prime minister and parliament who legislate and make laws and draft policies.

[regszikora]

@rfw45 I wonder how long you would be free if you stated this in the context of a President. I think Business people are doing just fine, The more they screw the country the bigger the check they get from the people. So they are not getting hurt at any rate!!! just saying :)

[TheAwp45]

@rfw45

Long Live Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England.

[summergirlx17]

@rfw45 kill the president!

[chykim1]

@summergirlx17 you first..

[Strefanasha]

the Tudors, as starring that grossly miscast Jonathan Rhys, is such grossly unhistorical crap that I, a tudor buff, will not watch it. thisvideo in showing the descent oftudor, could have take footage from the superlative Six Wives of HenryVIII starringKeithMichell as the King, done in the 1970's. that portrayal was the best of this majestic and unspeakable King I have ever seen.

But jonathan Rhys? he may be a good actor but he is a useless Henry VIII

[djennin2]

I am a descendant of William I and, today, I cleaned a house for extra money, do there it is!

[CherryBooooomb]

im directly descended from nearly all the royalty in europe and england. they all intermarried you know

[LadyGraceofHearts]

[marsflamesniper]

Um, we dont know if Katherine Carey was indeed the daughter of Henry VIII or William Carey, they can't really make such strong convictions when we dont know if it is true or not.

[GIRLOFCELJE]

she is descended from Mercy Knowles who is descended from Catherine Carey Knowles just go to rootsweb

[randomstuff8991]

well maybe since they r henry the 8th's legitimate bloodlines(not through a bastard) they live better than those who r related 2 him through illegitimate bloodlines

another thing u no the man at 1:42? well he said that his grandpa x14 is married to anne bolyen who was sister to queen anne but queen anne only had one sis mary bolyen

i was confused

[annemolly57]

@randomstuff8991 i think they said cousin

[randomstuff8991]

well maybe since they r henry the 8th's legitimate bloodlines(not through a bastard) they live better than those who r related 2 him through illegitimate bloodlines(affairs with ppl that aren't too important cause mary boleyn's affair is signifgant)

im not rly sure

[randomstuff8991]

[clottecta]

i just love this video !!!

[celjegirl]

Sarah Palin is from Mary Boleyn and Henry.I bet Henry would be real

proud of this politcal princess

[randomstuff8991]

@celjegirl sooo shes a decendent of cathrine knollys?

and possibly henry carey?

they dont no 4 sure if henry is henry the 8th's son or william carey's

but they no cathrine's dad is henry the 8th

[chinagrrl]

I didn't think they were upper class. They looked quite ordinary to me.

[Liesel93]

The father and son certainly live in a stately home (and perhaps the other man). They're defiantly better off than most of the population in the UK.

[randomstuff8991]

@chinagrrl me too but i don't live in england so I wouldn't no

[hatethetube]

I guess it was made for the American market. They love all that aristocratic stuff and probably wouldn't have liked to have seen normal, hard working, debt ridden descendants; of which there are probably many!

[Varney86]

@hatethetube I'm American and think it would have been better if they showed normal working class people. Because I know that there are many of them and would be cool to see that. I found this very boring.

[hell0hkitty]

what a bunch of tossers.

[vickibowden72]

how strange that the only people in this video are all `upper class´. Doubt that is the case..
