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.

Look up the words “Once Removed”. It is a British term and only means
“Back one generation”. So if you have a second cousin whose parent was
back one or two generations, they say Once Removed. It’s not necessary
to say Once Removed – they are your third, fourth, sixth, or eight
cousin. No royality in America or need “follow” upper crust family trees
that the elite Brits have to be connected to. And the lower class Brits
don’t count their family trees. America need not be concerned with that too.

Poor Florence. The relatively nice-looking, intelligent prince is married now…and the only one left is the dumbass one who looks like Ralph Malph from “Happy Days” re-runs.

If a man and woman in Alabama are married, and get a divorce, I realize that they are no longer man and wife, but are they still cousins?

Samantha, get over yourself with thinking that its sick. She’s his 8x removed cousin. basically, with the way the british breed themselves, then give themselves, or get the queen to throw out titles to their leadership, she more than likely is only his cousin in name only, and isnt really related at all, except for a distant way back relative from 8 generations, or approx 480 years, ago. if you can look at it like that, from a purely biological point of view, it isnt sick at all, its just their way of life in the royal family.

Don’t try and justify dating your cousin !
8 times removed, doesn’t remove them from the family tree, or in this case, the family shrub.
All you have to do is ask yourself : If an over ambitious relative set up the family reunion to end all family reunions , would one or two invitations come to your place of resident ???

I don’t see how this is such a big deal. Pakistanis often marry their FIRST cousins in arranged marriages. Jews only have a fixed number of tribes. And blacks regularly give birth to babies with IQ’s below 80 – this is either due to drug use, familial ties, or both. Read “Freakonomics” before you bash the last example.

That you have no values [i’m not talking about the manure put forth by fellow tards in the rep… forget it. Not worthy my time or effort.
This you or your handlers shall understand. I strongly suggest you revise this rubbish before you are out of work. Now isn’t the time to get a pink slip.
…and the collective conscious was that gutter press was the main stay of tabloids like the mirror or daily mail! I really strongly advise you fix this.
Be advised, a copy is made of this notice and shall serve as a record of response.
