Recent DNA tests indicate Ms. Forbes Crombie is the fourth Great Grandmother of Princes William and Harry of England.[2][3]
A recent article excerpt: "William’s genetic link to India was proven by saliva samples from relatives who share his direct maternal lineage to Eliza Kewark. She lived at the start of the 19th century in western India, “without benefit of matrimony”, with his Scottish ancestor Theodore Forbes, an East India Company merchant."
It is hoped that further research on the matter will be forthcoming.
