Prince Harry dating lingerie model cousin
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.

My bet is on Pippa; she is confident, strong, private, professional, layed back, respectful, relaxed in front of the camera, secretive and will never disrespect him in the public. Oh, I forgot she seems to be mature or grown up plus beautiful.
This girl looks spoil and will not adjust well to the line of authority she will subjected too. Plus she is a camera hog, immature and most of all his cousin. Never know when the crazies are going to show up in the lineage.

Hey, England and Alabama are about the same in square mileage area. After awhile, one runs out of un-DNA-related suitable mates. Is it not unreasonable to state that neither place is chock full of noteworthy brainiacs within a short amount of time? Will and Kate need not worry. Their kids are safe and Will at least, dodged a bullett.

If a couple from Alabama get married in Montgomery, then move to New York City and subsequently divorce are they then still legally brother and sister?
