Question

Is it good to have fresh blood in the Royal Family such as that of Mr Hewitt to prevent inbreeding?

Answer 1

what makes you think his blood is 'fresh'?

Answer 2

I don't think so. Harry Hewitt seems as thick as thr rest.

Answer 3

I wonder how close you are to being reported.You have made a statement that is not true, and you have insulted the Royal family.

Answer 4

YES INDEED..!    ..The fresh blood is ideal to dilute the Royal horsey features .... Harry Hewitt maybe a Stella-swigging , bird-shagging,  Arab-shooting  soldier boy .. and fair play to him for that  .. just a pity that he turned out to be a ginner .. ah  well,  better luck next time ...

Answer 5

Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, and the only British monarch to have married its first cousin was Queen Victoria, which happened over a century ago. Ever since her marriage to her first cousin, Prince Albert, there has not been a marriage between close blood relatives within the British royal family.

The current Queen Elizabeth II married her second cousin once removed, in other words, they were distantly related. Close blood relatives are parents, children, siblings, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and first cousins. None of the Queen's own children married within the family either, all of their spouses were commoners, therefore, the next generation was even further removed from being produced from the "same gene pool."

As we look into the future, I highly doubt any of the Queen's grandchildren will marry their distant relatives either. Prince William is dating Kate Middleton, Prince Harry is seeing Chelsy Davy, Zara Philips has been dating her rugby boyfriend, Mike Tindall, Peter Philips is scheduled to marry his Canadian fiancee, Autumn Kelly, Princess Beatrice is currently dating her American beau. Looking at this pattern, it is quite obvious inbreeding between royal houses will became an ancient tradition of the past.

Answer 6

absolutely it can't make it any worse can it????

Answer 7

I've always thought it strange the media ignores this one, ive only ever seen it brought up once, that was on 'have i got news for you' a couple of years ago.

Answer 8

It wasn't Hewitt. It was me !

Answer 9

It quite possibly worked in the High Middle Ages if Cecily Neville had an affair with an archer named Blaybourne instead of the Duke of York, meaning that the Tudors descend from an illegitimate Edward IV, and Richard III was the true heir to the throne.

Answer 10

Absolutely

Bad judgement about the colouring, but apart from that quite sensible I would say.

Answer 11

This story about Harry is rubbish. Hewitt may have slipped one to his mother and he may be the spitting image of him but Charles is his dad no question even if he looks nothing like him.

Answer 12

how can Hewitt be Harrys dad, Harry is the spit of the Duke his grandad

Answer 13

What about all the other horsey inbreds?  One normal one isnt going to change much is he?

Answer 14

It seems the only person who actually knows anything about the Royals is Rachelle.  The Queen & Duke of Edinburgh are distantly, very very distantly, related. Charles married 'fresh' blood, so did Anne, Andrew & Edward. With the abolishment of the Act dictating Royalty to marry foreign Royalty before the marriage of George VII and the Dowager became the Duke & Duchess of York, the danger of inbreeding, inadvertently, became annulled, unlike what happened with the Romanovs and the Czarevich's haemmophelia condition.

As yet, all the Windsor offspring since George VII are 'fresh' blood, as no one since them married family, not even distant.

Answer 15

Victor, thanks for asking this question - I`ve taken a note of some of the names and am currently sharpening my axe.

You will be delighted to know that you are first in line.
