How to make a girl feel special

You've probably been thinking that the Duchess of Cambridge is one special lady, you don't know how true this is. Not content with marrying the future King of England she also insists on being part of our literary history by being related to Jane Austen.

Of course it's oh so obvious when you think about it. Miss Daily Mail Reporter puts it best;

That's right it's there flowing in her red (not blue - as the papers are keen to tell us she's common is Kate) blood.

Her great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather is the same person as Jane Austin's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather.

This astounding fact is something that she shares with only a handful of people, well a Kenny Everett vicar handful anyway. If we're conservative and imagine that Henry Percy (their mutual descendant) and each of his offspring had a couple of kids she shares her uniqueness with 33,000 people.

So she's not even one in a million. That is common.

Queuing for cake at the
Austen family reunion.
