🤣🤣🤣 “let me get this straight they stabbed him with a trumpet” 😂😂

[@KSUgrad79]

Is there any chance that the entire “Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family” series will be available to stream in its entirety here in the United States?

[@sorscha1308]

🤣 i love that Courtney Cox got a way different experience of basically the same story. She was related to the murderers rather than the victim though.

[@MarkHewitt]

Courtney Cox is directly related to Joan Of Acre, Edward II's sister.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

We all are likely related to both.

[@mstellacrap]

I still can't believe Edward II is his ancestor... Epic!

[@si4632]

id like to thrust my red hot poker into your fundament

[@mizzfit02]

Edward II, king of England is my fifth cousin 21 times removed.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Why not? 720 years ago is 24 generations. 24 generations means at least 8 million forebears. Population of England then was 5 million.

[@jasonbuckley2227]

I have seen so many clips of Danny on this show. Must have been a few episodes. So good.

[@stephaniepetrosky1991]

I fucking love Danny he's so kind!

[@annpulbrook9033]

I’m descended from Edward II, Isabella & Roger Mortimer 😬. They are tangled webs in the family history trees.

[@richierich8334]

[@slowmikespace]

Now that he and Courteney Cox are related to the same royal family can have Christmas dinner together (????)

[@KootFloris]

High chances of all the people who commented on this video, at the least one also are related to this king. ;)

[@Cyberlucy]

LOL Actually Courtney Cox is descended from the guy who killed his ancestor.

[@martinrandall5836]

Danny is related to Courtney because they are both related to King Edward the first of England.

[@martinrandall5836]

We should all get together for dinner, because somewhere along the line we are either descend from Charlemagne, the 9th century ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, or Genghis Khan, or one of many other historical figures with an abundance of descendants. Who’s for starters?

[@freedomscott4551]

I am so jelly of me cousin. LOL We share Great grand daddies. 😄

[@belladonna131]

I REMEMBER READING THIS. THE KING'S WIFE HAD A BOYFRIEND WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS WITH HER. THE KING DIED SEVERAL DAYS LATER FROM INFECTION. IT WAS HORRIBLE. 😢💔

[@sje9305]

With his royal connection, Danny Dyer is now provably related to Courtney Cox, Charles Darwin, Boris Johnson, David Hume and Gwen Stefani, among others.

[@gilbey80]

And Valerie Bertonelli

[@mrbear1302]

He isn't related to Courtney. Courtney's family are the ones who got Edward II imprisoned.

[@sje9305]

@@mrbear1302 Oh you're right I see, but I also see Courtney is descended from William the Conqueror further back meaning there is a provable link, so I was *accidentally* right before lol.

[@mrbear1302]

@@sje9305 well they were all sleeping with each other so, yeah that works too.

[@martinrandall5836]

Danny Dyer is related to Courtney Cox, because Courtney is related to King Edward 1 and so is Danny.

[@givenscommunications6307]

Whoa! Too Graphic! They went mid-evil on him!

[@YamiSphinx]

So Danny Dyer is distantly related to Courtney Cox?

[@Cyberlucy]

No because Courtney Cox's ancestor was old Eddy's jailer. The guy who killed him.

[@martinrandall5836]

Danny and Courtney are both related to King Edward the First of England.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

We all are.

[@jasonhare8540]

Careful Danny . Last time they invited some royals to visit a closed room some brothers disappeared 🤣 *I mean every single thing I learn about court life from the past is just an absolute nightmare . No wonder so many monarchs became so bloody-minded ... When every minute everyone's just waiting for their chance to pounce any of us might find ourselves hollering off with their heads .....

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

So....a red hot poker killed Ed 2....that must have hurt him lots...

[@SARGENTO007A]

They got medieval on him...

[@Philippositivity]

💙 Boris Johnson is related to Danny Dyer. 💙🧩♻️

Edward 111 is my wife’s ancestor as well

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Unlikely. 1540 is only 16 generations ago. She'd be your 14 or 15 times great-grandmother

Y.es

[@stephfoxwell4620]

No. His link is so many generations ago he'd be about 10 millionth in line to the throne .

[@AshleighKnott2891]

How many Danny Dyer videos do you want to throw out back to back to back?! Pretty sure other people have done this show....

[@bossmanviking]

yeh but no ones got his bloodline

[@charlottebruce979]

I think it had such a novelty factor that people are keen to see it. After all he was a cockney from a council estate who turned out to be related to the kings and queens of England.

[@marycontrary2828]

Danny Dyer's show is the best one ever.
