Answer 1

Yes Edward VII had many illigitamate children and for obvious reasons could not say he did,most Kings have a string of them, maybe not in the light of todays media though lol, he used to have trusted people who's job it was to make sure these children were looked after from a distance, usualy through a solicitors, who in those days could be trusted to keep there silence, I can trace back to Royalty also,

Answer 4

Edward VII did not father 150 children. He had nothing like that number of mistresses and most of them did not produce children. One thing all his mistresses had in common was that they were married. He would not sleep with an unmarried woman. The reason being that any children that were produced could be attributed to the woman's husband and not Edward. If your great grandmother was sleeping with the King, she would have been married to your great grandfather at the time. Edward VII made no exceptions to this rule. The birth certificate would have named your great grandmother's husband as the father of any children. If she was unmarried, the father was not Edward.

Answer 5

My husband's Grandfather was the son of old King Edward. What's in it? Bad hearing, lazy eye, baldness, bleeding problems yet tall and rather good looking.

Join a semi-exclusive club.

------Rumor has it that Edward VII fathered Sonia Keppell, born in May 1900, who was Camilla Parker Bowles' grandmother.

------Harriet Mordant claimed that Edward fathered her child, and she was subsequently declared "insane".

Of course, Edward never acknowledged any illegitimate sons or daughters, although Edward certainly didn't confine his affairs to the gentry. Along with the titled--Lady Randolph Churchill (Jennie Jerome) and Daisy Grenville, the Countess of Warwick--Edward bedded actresses Lillie Langtry and Sarah Bernhardt as well as dancer La Belle Otero. Louis Battenburg (Mountbatten) later fathered an illegitimate daughter of Lillie Langtry. Edward also frequented the brothel Le Chabanais in Paris.

Even if you can't verify your lineage, it makes an interesting subject for speculation at family reunions.

Answer 7

Being related to a King of England is quite common. I do not mean that in any disrespectful way, but it is true to say that it is estimated that about 50% of the Common English are directly related to an English King of the Middle Ages and into more recent times.

Fact is the English like their Kings to be virile and that they have certainly proved to be.

One sure fire way for an English King of the Middl Age to ensure loyalty from his subjects, was to be a father to as many of them as possible. Likewise the English aristocracy were encouraged to have babies with their sefts, servants and whoever else they fancied. By this method loyalty was ensured.

You'd be just amazed how well this worked. While the French chopped off the heads of most of their own aristocracy, the English Commoners surrounded their own true sires and protected them.

I have it on good authority from my late grandfather of World War One and the Boer War, that the English Aristocracy were the most feared in battle - the Germans were frightened to death of them. Can't imagine why, could be all those tough game at Eton and Harrow etc.

Like myself, my grandfather was Welsh and like the Welsh remained very largely untouched by the English. He always had a fondness for them, specally the toffs who liked to drink rather a lot. Drunk as a Lord, etc.

The most famous English lover King was HM King Charles II - very popular with the people and also with the ladies. I think he had in total about 19 girlfriends, all of whom bore him children. Possibly the most famous is Nell Gwynn - her descendant today is Lord Gwynn. So Chas must have taken care of her and ensured a title at least of the rank of Lady.

Nell's house is in Pallmall [Pel Mell] not far from St. James's Palace.

Answer 8

I have the output of DNA analysis from someone who was alleged to be the direct male descendant, and great grandson of Edward VII. The mother was allegedly a young servant, whose history I have. How can I find out if the DNA data supports the link to Edward?

Answer 9

I highly doubt the legitimacy of your claims, but would they even matter? Edward VII never acknowledged any legitimate children (the most prominent being perhaps the grand mother of Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of the current Prince of Wales, Charles). I would have to agree that most likely, Edward would not have dallied with a kitchen maid, though.. knowing men, if she did strike his fancy, I doubt he would have resisted too much. However, if your great-grandmother was willing to diddle with the King, being unmarried and all at the time, then she was probably willing to do the same with any Tom, Dick, and Harry as well. But, if you are especially confident of your claim, then all the power to you. I know someone who is a descendant of Nell Gwyn/Charles II.

Answer 10

Well people are entitled to their opinions aren't they, but I see from the article that Edward did dally with an unmarried woman so somebody who answered obviously didn't read the article properly. It wouldn't surprise me at all though as illegitimate children were rife throughout the history of our Kings.
