It has emerged that Prince Harry's new girlfriend is a distant cousin of his.
Harry, 26, is dating blonde Florence Brudenell-Bruce, 25, and a family tree revealed that she is his eighth cousin, and a seventh cousin once removed of both Diana and Prince Charles' second wife Camilla.
The common factor in the aristocratic web is the Honourable Sir Edward Walpole, the son of Britain's first Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole, and it can be traced back to the 18th Century.
Edward, who died in 1784, had a daughter, Maria, who married into the Royal Family.
"Florence is surrounded by so much blue blood that she's tinged with royalty even without the close attentions of Prince Harry," the Sun quoted a Royal source as saying.
The links mean that if Harry ever walks her down the aisle he would complete a Royal daisy chain.
