I love it that we get the Aussies and Canadians to DNA our 500 year old kings I really do as it means we are closer associated.

mr james pfft..and English think us Australians are convicts!! 😂😂😂😂 This is the second time I have heard they have tracked an Aussie down because of their royal heritage, and I am sure it won't be the last...

Thats the problem Australians think we think you are a bunch of convicts. There is some history there of course but no I dont think ozzies are convicts. I think they are a strong nation which we could take an example from in many ways. There are no ozzie jokes, every UK student puts Australia as a first visit when traveling they dont choose the U.S or anything. No we love you guys. We would come running if OZ was in the shit..Best

The rightful king lived in Australia, don't know if he is still alive! Elisabeth should not be on the throne!

There are no Aussie descendants of Richard III. Richard the III's children all died young and childless. You mean relatives, not descendants.
