Research compiled in 1997 by historians including Markle's great-uncle, Mike Markle,(ancestry.com...$99.00??!!:O:) found that her paternal great-great-great-grandmother was New Hampshire landowner Mary Hussey Smith (1823–1908), a descendant of nobleman John Hussey, 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford, who was beheaded in 1537 at the order of King Henry VIII.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...rs_in_1537.jpg Through Lord Hussey, Markle is a descendant of King John. Markle is also a descendant of Captain Christopher Hussey, Esquire (d.1686) who was appointed in 1679 by King Charles II to govern the Royal Province of Hampton, New Hampshire. He was a Founding Father of Nantucket.
Markle is a distant relation of Prince Harry. Their common ancestors are Elizabeth Bowes (1505–c.1572) and her husband, Richard Bowes, son of Sir Ralph Bowes of Streatlam Castle and High Sheriff of County Durham—ancestors of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (née Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon).

As President Reagan once put it: "I don't understand how anyone can be president who has not been an actor" Her theater and international studies studies at Northwestern U and acting skills will serve her well in the media fish-bowel and travails of hungry paparazzi that hounded her late mother-in-law... Her trendy shredded-knee jeans notwithstanding, she is a 'brazen Hussy!:shucks: ...and a 'bit of a Guinevere'!:haha: Best to the couple!

..and, aside from the vast improvement to the Royal Family, they won't notice the difference... :03::D

Just want to point out that Liz and Phil are going to celebrate 70 years of marriage. That's pretty good these days.

May there be many more years.
