I thought the same thing!
She is more beautiful without makeup!
It's so weird, seeing her back on Oxford Road. Her old family home is about 140 metres away from me. Her sister lived there, when everyone else left and she was always lovely.
Very nice Kate Winslet, he was a drummer boy ! 👌😎
That's amazing ....that's why she is such a great actress it's in the genes.
I've got Colquhouns way back in my tree, too!
Exactly like her grandmother wow
She's got the performer gene!
Amazing woman makes all women proud 😢❤of being woman
love her
Slight correction on the name Colquhoun, it’s of Scottish origin not Irish.

So Kate Winsletts Ancestor and mine were BOTH in the Queens own guard...Mine was in the band. Just found this out 3 weeks ago...🤣
One of her 32 three times great grandparents.
Colquhoun is a Scottish surname.
Nineteenth-century drummer boys (Army) and powder monkeys (Navy) were often very young, and lowest-rank officers often in their mid-teens. The British military still has officers and other ranks that are younger than their counterparts in other countries. Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence was a midshipman at 17, and I believe that 16 year-olds can enlist.
I'm a genealogist so have a tip: the easiest way to display the relevance of an ancestor is through abbreviation so Kate Winslet's ancestor here is her Gx3 GF shorter than Great Great Great Grandfather. BTW if he was an Uncle he would be her Gx3 GU or Great Great Great Granduncle. It's "Grand Uncle" not Great Uncle because the generation is the same as a GRANDfather or mother.

By your logic, nobody should be calling their grandparents' siblings to be their great aunts/uncles. So what you're saying makes no sense given that that is how we tend to do it in the English language. Never in my life have I ever heard anyone refer to a sibling of their grandparent as their grand-aunt or grand-uncle.

@@PercivalC It's not MY logic. I used to use the word Great Uncle but then with the latest release of Family Tree maker it showed Grand Uncle. When I asked professionals they said, Since my GRANDfather's brother is the same generation he is called a Grand Uncle. I hear both Grand and Great from people so it's not a law. Jeez, lighten up.

@Nicky L No it's not. Your Grand Uncle is the same generation as your GRANDfather or GRANDmother. That is the correct way according to logical genealogy terms. However because of many online websites saying Great Uncle the incorrect term gained popularity so many people say that.
Colquhon is slightly different spelling is Calhoun in the US
Is this a reupload? I swear I've seen this exact video already

I have a feeling that guard was doing more than walking the grounds....

TL Mitchell : haha Do you think Kate Winslet's father really looks a lot like the late British actor and director Sir Richard Attenbrough ???? haha
An interesting aside : there is, or was a dialect of Scotland, which pronounced wh, as in what, as Quhat, closer ( I think ) to the Anglo-Saxon pronunciation
