  How ironic that one of the major Jacobite objections to George I was that he was a German… only for the modern Pretender to end up Bavarian.

  Charles II, James II&apos;s brother, used to walk around London with only a secretary in attendance. &nbsp;Anyone could talk to Charles, making requests or declaring complaints, and Charles would listen while the secretary took notes. &nbsp;James told Charles that was very dangerous, anyone could assassinate Charles. &nbsp;He replied: &quot;Jamie, nobody is going to kill me so you can become king.&quot; &nbsp;Charles died peacefully in his bed.

  Very, very good indeed, However, I think it would be better to say, &quot;Diana is descended from not one, but two illegitimate children of King Charles II of England: Henry Fitzroy and Charles Lennox, via two of her great-grandmothers, Adelaide Seymour and Rosalind Bingham.&quot; But really, an excellent analysis of what can be a very complicated subject.

  Video suggestion, who would be LORD PROTECTOR of Great Britain?<br><br>Cromwell set it up as a hereditary office and passed it down to his son Richard. However Richard failed to maintain it as the monarchy returned, but What if the line of Lord Protectors continued?

  As soon as the Earl Spencer popped up I went “oh shiiiiit” out loud. The idea that Diana could have a claim to Charles’s throne is hilarious.<br><br>Edit: some of y’all are taking this way too seriously holy shit. I know how the actual line of succession goes. I just thought it was a funny twist.

  You forgot to mention that Prince Joseph of Liechtenstein is the first Jacobite claimant since the Old Pretender to be born in Britian.

  When you said Spencer&apos;s name in Plot Twist, I knew right away that Princess Diana was involved lol 😆 and therefore her sons is involved too .

  Would love to see a video about how Louis IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt is the new Nearest Common Ancestor of all reigning European monarchs.

  Funny how part of the Jacobite resistance to King George and his heirs was that they were German... when the current heir to the Jacobite line is also - wait for it - German 😅European royalty really is one giant mish-mash of relatives!
