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).

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.

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).

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.

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".

@@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.

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.

Can you do Queen Elizabeth's dynasty? I followed her patrilineal ancestors on wikipedia and they go a thousand years back to Italy. That's just wikipedia and me clicking links. I wonder what one can come up with using actual sources and knowledge of genealogy.

So many generations ago, she has at least a billion other ancesters.

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’.

Fancy doing my family tree and showing how I'm related to King Edward I

All of the current Royal Family is Stuart descended. Elizabeth Stuart - Sophia of Hanover - George I of Britain

I thought Diana's brother, the current Earl Spencer is called Charles, not John

I'm related to Sir Winston Churchill mother Jennie. You should do something on how the Washington (as in George) is related to the Spencer family.

I recently saw a movie called Jenny about Winston Churchill’s mother-She was unconventional indeed and it was great!

So Winston Churchill and Diana Spencer were sixth cousins once removed.

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.

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.

Thank you, amazing clues.

I remember learning that they were related and thinking it makes sense in a weird way

I think Winston's grandkid was one of Diana and Charlie's flower girls.I never knew Diana's sister was married to a family member of Fergie.

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.

Enjoyed this video!

Thank you for the information. Greetings from Canada.

Pretty sure Edmund Spenser is linked with the Spencer family, even though there is a slight spelling difference. His book "The Faerie Queene", an epic poem written for Elizabeth the first, is one of the greatest works of English literature. Book 2 canto 10 is a genealogy of the ancient kings of Britain. He takes the Brutus narrative (probably from Geoffrey of Monmouth), and puts it into his famous poetic metre. Well worth a read

Until this video, I've never been semantically satiated with my own name before. I'm having an identity crisis halp

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.

Queen Mary of Scots is one of her ancestors through her grandmother Lady Cynthia Hamilton. So she was also descended from James VI/I through her.
