来头太大!梅根竟是莎士比亚和丘吉尔的远亲!
Prince Harry's American bride-to-be Meghan Markle is distantly related to both Churchill and Shakespeare, research by genealogists has shown. Meghan, 36, who was born in Los Angeles, is William Shakespeare's fifth cousin 13 times removed, the researchers said. The actress and wartime prime minister Sir Winston Churchill are sixth cousin five times removed, connected through Zachariah Howe, who came from a family of British settlers that originated from Essex. Aaron Godfrey, MyHeritage spokesman, said: "When we heard the wonderful news about Harry and Meghan's engagement, we wanted to help Meghan discover some English roots of her own. "I'm sure she will be delighted to know that she comes from such prestigious British stock." Meghan and Harry, 33, announced on Monday they were getting married in May 2018. The couple met on a blind date in July 2016 and said their relationship had blossomed "incredibly quickly." |
