Welcome to the family girl

[@piffpaff9674]

Brook is such a class act in every way (she even had that quality to her as Avery young girl) - one could tell she has such a blood line. She could time-jump right into her own past ItalianFrench family life and she would fit perfectly with her incredible beauty and grace. There is no substitute for old blood… it shines through anyway.

[@roseg1333]

Brookes looks very French to me it makes sense and I too feel a real connection to France 🇫🇷 most of my life. turns out I’m French on both sides of my family and I am mainly Hispanic

Supposedly I have a very distant connection to Brooke Shields through The Dukes of Sermonetta.

[@theunspoke815]

He was born the same year as King Louis XVI. I bet he had something to do with the higher courts and disappeared b4 he was killed!!!

[@bootstrapstylerich]

I am related to King Louie the XVI of France as evidenced by a marker on my Y chromosome. = making Brooke Shields and I distant cousins...."WE" are also related to Marie Antoinette - a second cousin from Austria (and a descendant of the Hapsburg Line) and wife of King Louie XVI: the DNA of King Louie the XVI was taken from the blood of his beheaded head, with a handkerchief, at the time of his execution by one of his cousins - AN ITALIAN NOBLEMAN - and that handkerchief was sealed in a gourd for over 400 years! Can't make this stuff up lol!
