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.

She is not pretty. Models are not pretty. They are so skinny that a they often resemble a skeleton covered in a thin layer of skin. Their faces are very generic, no hint of any ethnicity or anything that makes someone “attractive.” And blonde? Ha-ha-ha I can see dark roots in the curling iron box photo. Real women are infinitely more interesting in and out of bed, just ask any of my boyfriends.

Thank you James for your comment and explanation. I’m sure it’s still misunderstood. People are so ignorant… a cousin 8 times removed really isn’t even a relative. If a lot of us traced our family history, especially those from smaller cities or towns, you would find the same instance. Probably closer (less removed).

Why does anyone care about these inbred Nazis, anyway(look up Prince Philip, TOTAL nazi)? Their family murdered their mother so they wouldn’t have a Muslim be stepfather to the British Crown, and these 2 young guys act like they’re entitled to the world. Now Darcy, she’s hot. The whole “models are ugly, real women are pretty” argument is nice, she is nevertheles quite attractive. With an unsustainable airbrushed body, but pretty nonetheless. But why do Americans care? We fought a revolution against these rubes. Somebody should finish the job Guy Fawkes started. And yea, JTA, most husbands and wives probably are eighth cousins. Every American President but one descended from King John who signed the Magna Carta. We’re all related. But most of family trees don’t look like a vine like these puds’.

Not that I care, but didn’t Harry tell some chick at the wedding that she was next? I guess he was just working on a sleepover after party.
And they not only do that in Alabama, hail, they do that in West Virginny, Georgia, Mississippi, and so on

Typical internet. The genetic probability of 2nd or even 3rd cousins producing offspring with defects is so low that it doesn’t even make a difference, but here we are trolling along with a humorously written article (if you can even call it that) about cousins who probably don’t have enough genetic similarities to be considered related anymore.

Susan McGuire-Yours was the post of the day for me. It brought a ton of laughter (still laughing) to my rather-boring life LOL. Even thought I don’t think William is so hot either. They should have gotten those huge buck teeth fixed when he was little. Would have made a hell of a big difference. But at least he’s not a big dufus like Harry (Ralph Malph ROFL).
