WE'D RATHER BE SUBJECTS OF KING CURT

If you do the maths, it's pretty obvious that nearly all of us will have some royal DNA slopping around in us, whether we're just a distant descendent of a wrong-side-of-the-sheets hooking up of a King, or are simply Prince Edward. So, James Blunt's supposed vague connection to Henry VIII isn't much of a thing to shout about. Even so, if he really believes - like Vera Duckworth - that he's a direct bloodline member of the Royal Family (and it's not that implausible; unfathomably popular and not entirely clear what the point of him is, he's just like a royal) we really would encourage him to march down to Buckingham Palace and demand his birthright.
