The New Murrey and Blue blog

This phrase was (allegedly) used to the erstwhile Prince of Wales at Gordonstoun in the early 1960s.

His younger son, Henry Duke of Sussex, seems not to understand the connections betwen previous Royal family members that well, either. This Express article quotes from his book, where he claims to be DESCENDED from Henry VI. As we know, that King had only one son, Edward of Lancaster, who died at Tewkesbury without issue, although Henry VII CLAIMED, at the behest of the French, to be Henry VI’s other son. It can be said with authority that Henry VI and his line expired within three weeks of the battle.

The article has one or two lesser bloopers as well: Richard, Duke of York‘s heir was Earl of March (not Prince of Wales) and the latter was crowned in 1461 (not 1961). The latter must be true because the event wasn’t televised. The Duke of Sussex might learn something about his maternal family here.
