David Cameron's Royal Ancestry

I have tried to post this update several times.

Francois R. Velde...

Yes indeed, seven times in just about an hour. Seems quite sufficient.

David Cameron's great grandparents, Stephanie Agnes Cooper and her
husband Arthur Francis Levita appear on page 682 of "Ruvigny's
Plantagenet Roll", Exeter Volume (1905), with their eldest daughter,
Violet, born 1904. Stephanie Agnes Cooper was a niece of the 1st Duke
of Fife, husband of Princess Louise, the Princess Royal, grandmother of

the current (3rd) Duke of Fife, who is therefore a second cousin once
removed of David Cameron. David Cameron is also, of course, a
great-great nephew of 1st Viscount Norwich (Alfred Duff Cooper, brother

of his great grandmother), whose wife was the famous socialite Lady
Diana Cooper, who is therefore David Cameron's great-great aunt by
marriage. Hard to believe David Cameron he did not know that he was a
nephew of such a well know personage as Lady Diana Cooper, who died in
1986, when David was 20. Best Regards"

HERE IS MY UPDATE:

Of course, David Cameron is the second cousin TWICE removed (not once
removed as I indicated above). If the current Duke of Fife were to
invite all his second cousins and their descendants to a party, the
group would include Queen Elizabeth II, the King of Norway, and David
Cameron, Leader of the Opposition!

David Cameron's maternal great grandmother, Hilda Lucy Adelaide Low,
wife of Sir William Arthur Mount, 1st Bt, was the 4602nd in line to the
British thrown in 1903 per the Marquis de Ruvigny's "The Blood Royal of
Britain; Tudor Roll." The is from Princess Mary Tudor, daughter of
King Henry VII, through her daughter Lady Frances Brandon, Duchess of
Suffork, and her daughter, Lady Katherine Grey (sister of Queen Jane
Grey) and wife of Edward Seymour. The line goes through the Seymour,
Wyndham, Herbert, Moreton, and Fielding families to Low, Mount, and
Cameron.

Hilda Lucy Adelaide's father, William Malcolm Low, appears in Ruvigny's
Exeter Roll. His maternal grandfather, John Talbot Shakspear
(1783-1825), Chief of Police in Calcutta, married Amelia "Emily"
Thackeray of the notable Anglo-Indian family and aunt of William
Makepease Thackeray, the famous author of "Vanity Fair". David Cameron
is therefore first cousin five times removed to the famous author. See
"Burke's Family Record" (1897), pages 593-594. Presumably the
Shakspear family is connected somehow to playwright William Shakespear.
