Duchess Camilla reveals startling family tree details

Duchess Camilla
Biograf uncovers her incredibly tragic family tree

Duchess Camilla, 74, descends from families that could hardly be more different: from the king to the slave trader and sex addict, very different ancestors can be found in their family tree. The biographer Christopher Wilson has now uncovered this. But that’s not all. Her family history is peppered with tragic accidents and a failed romance. A striking number of family members of Duchess Camilla died a violent death. Among other things, they were executed, shot or torn in half by a bomb, writes the biographer. Some of the killers have never been found.

Sex addict and slave trader are family

Duchess Camilla’s family tree also includes a slave trader, a henchman and a poor butler who “polished silver cutlery under a staircase,” the biographer writes in the Daily Mail. And there’s another incredible discovery: 18th-century author Marquis de Sade is a distant relative. The frightening thing about it: He was known for his violent pornographic works and spent 32 years of his life in prison. The word sadism is even said to go back to his name.

Camilla is even related to Prince Charles

And then there’s the other side, which has a lot of blue blood running through it. The biographer discovered: Camilla is related to Queen Elizabeth, 95, and Princess Diana, † 36. They each apparently have a common ancestor who lived in the 16th and 18th centuries respectively.

There is also another family connection between the future royal couple. The ancestors of the two are said to have been in love with each other before. Is this fate? According to the “Daily Mail”, Duchess Camilla introduced herself to Prince Charles, 73, with the words: “My great-grandmother and your great-great-grandfather were a couple – so what does it look like?” A child, Sonia, is said to have resulted from the affair of the relatives. If that’s true, Duchess Camilla and Prince Charles are effectively second cousins ​​and second cousins.

Kings of France, Denmark, Norway, Scotland and England as well as dukes, marquesses, British earls, barons and British prime ministers also hide in the Duchess’ family tree. It is even possible that Karl Marx (1818-1883) belonged to Camilla’s family – but this cannot be proven.

In addition to these tragic strokes of fate and the noble side, broken love affairs complete the family tragedy. Camilla’s great-grandfather was engaged to the author Constance Lloyd (1858-1898) – who, however, left him for none other than Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) and later married him. Camilla’s great-grandfather later met and had a child with a shipping heiress – the grandfather of Duchess Camilla, future Queen Consort of England.
