Well not really a "current event" but another proof, if needed, that the D...Mail is a very serious newspaper....with serious articles.
And some people are paid to do that....

What does the Prince of Wales and his Duchess have to do with the electoral campaign in a foreign country's endeavours to find a future President?

Please keep on topic.

Nothing! Why shoudn´t they?

The story with the family tree starts in very american election campaign. It´s nothing but a joke to look for prominent relatives, i think.
Some time before we had an article that Camilla is a cousin of Madonna ( the singer)...( very very distantly related).

Noboday will take it seriously, i hope...and Charles and Camilla are not involved at all!

I think this story is hilarious, but have to wonder why they feel the need to suggest they are distantly related in the first place!

If they are all blue-eyed, new research has proven that they are all related indeed - with all other blue-eyed people as well. Probably the source of this article.

I wonder if I'm related to the other people too! I know I'm related to Camilla and Madonna (the un-Virgin) through ancestors in Quebec.

Thank you for the articles milla Ca. I think he summed Camilla up perfectly - Camilla really was a delight to be with - and I wouldn't say no to a bag of Tyrrells Slightly Salted myself!

It looks like the Duchess is winning over a lot of people.
