Just watched this fascinating program about whether there was a marriage and possibly a child between John Brown and the Queen. Try it if you enjoy anything royal or historical 😊

Just imagine if social media had existed then!

There was another thread recently on this topic:

www.gransnet.com/forums/news_and_politics/1350294-King-s-Distant-cousin-says-Historian

I saw a brief interview with the historian, she made it sound plausible..." he had a bedroom next to Queen Vic, the child was given to his brother and wife to raise". She stressed it is early in the research and DNA was mentioned.

John Brown was my dad's great uncle...I can assure you it is a load of rubbish ! My great aunt had a locket with a lock of Queen Victoria's hair in it..

It might well be tosh but how on earth do you know what John Brown did or didn’t do, all those years back just because he is an ancestor of yours Mojack none of us know what our ancestors got up to We don’t even know what our parents did before we were born (or even after)

Well i thought the letters written in Victoria's hand to John Brown were most convincing of a love affair I'm not sure if they have been verified as authentic but that could done easily
