After generations of inbreeding, Britain’s Royal Family appears to finally be getting serious about adding photogenic depth to the family gene pool.

Prince Harry's new GF looks familiar to those who pay attention to ads.
Curiously, Prince Harry is taking a stab at it by dating his lingerie modelling cousin.
Fortunately for any pending mingling of chromosomes, she’s a distant cousin — eight times removed, according to The Telegraph.
Florence Brudenell-Bruce, a blonde like the prince’s mother, will give future queen Kate Middleton a run for her money in the looks department. The British media is already following her every move — one headline alerted the world the young lady wore THREE outfits in one day. And her face appears on a curling iron box.
According to people who keep up with such things, Brudenell-Bruce is a descendant of the seventh Earl of Cardigan, Lieutenant General James Thomas Brudenell, who famously led the Charge of the Light Brigade against the Russians during the Crimean War.
Harry, 26, began dating Brudenell-Bruce, 25, after ending his relationship with Zimbabwean-born Chelsy Davy, according to The Telegraph.
Being a prince has its advantages, it seems.

Samantha, I’m pretty sure “eight times removed” means that they have one great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents in common.
The Queen and Prince Phillip share one great-great grandparent: Queen Victoria.

I had sex with my distant cousin when I was in high school. She went through a very promiscuous period. I took advantage of it. No regrets.

8 times removed means that one of them is 8 generations higher or lower on the family tree than the other. This seems unlikely.
8th cousins would mean that you have to go up 9 generations to find the exact couple from whom both are descended.
