Ancestors Of England's New Prince Include Famous Kings And A Mr. Smith
London—(UP)—The rosy mite in Princess Elizabeth's arms has a line almost frightening in its grandeur.
Most people would be satisfied if they could honestly boast about ancestors on the Mayflower. Or even in the Revolutionary War.
There is the Black Prince, the mighty warrior, who brought back from Spain in the 14th Century the fabulous ruby which adorns the imperial state crown. And his fairy tale wife, Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent.
But the little prince has in his veins the blood of Alfred the Great, of Charlemagne, of St. Louis and the ♦ great Barbarossa
He can speak familiarly of his direct ancestor, Richard the Lion Hearted, or of The Cid. In his family tree, which is minutely charted back to 1066, the year William the Conqueror crossed from Normandy, there is the romance and the triumph of Europe's royalty.
In the vast halls of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and the other royal homes, when he grows old enough, the prince will see the portraits of his noble forebears.
There are the kings of England and the fierce kings of Scotland—Henry VII, hero of many a martial fray, Mary, the tragic Queen of Scots, and Charles I, who also died under the executor's axe.
The cold beauties of the mediaeval
There are many other kings in the collateral lines—Ferdinand of Romania, Czar Nicholas I of Russia, Frederick the Great of Germany, Alfonso of Spain, alliances by marriages with the crowned heads of Denmark and Norway and the royal lines of every other ruling house.
And—astoundingly—a fellow named Smith! Queen Elizabeth's grandfather, the 13th Earl of Strathmore, married Frances Dora Smith, whose father was plain Oswald Smith. So duly recorded in Burke's peerage among the kings and princes is the name most associated with the common man.
courts are there—Berengaria of Navarra, Eleanor of Castile, Phillipa of Portugal, Blanche of Bavaria and Sophie-Charlotte of Prussia and the beautiful Grand Duchess Marie of Russia.
From Charlemagne to a Smith.
The little prince will be tough to top when it comes to boasting about family with his playmates.
