Does Richard III's DNA question the Queen's right to the throne?

#askaroundnow

He is one of the nation’s most notorious monarchs and Richard III is still creating controversy more than 500 years after his death.

Genetic analysis of a battle-scarred skeleton - discovered under a council car park in Leicester three years ago - has confirmed that it did indeed belong to the last Plantagenet king.

But it may have also exposed skeletons in the closet of the British aristocracy - undermining the Tudor dynasty - and could even raise a question mark over the current Queen’s royal heritage. 

 

 Researchers considered genetic material from two female-line descendants of Richard's sister Anne of York - a woman named Wendy Duldig and a man named Michael Ibsen (both pictured)

DNA analysis has revealed a break in the male line of Richard’s family tree. It means one of Richard III’s male relatives was cuckolded – leading to his wife to give birth to another man’s child.

Researchers also considered genetic material from two female-line descendants of Richard's sister Anne of York - a man named Michael Ibsen and a woman, Wendy Duldig.
