Might come as a great surprise to them that her own family heritage is actually more illustrious than their supposed privileged backgrounds. To put the facts straight, being a descendant of "Harry Hotspur", Kate actually has a greater claim to the throne than William actually does. Ultimately, Kate is descendant of Edward III via Elizabeth de Mortimer (Harry's wife), whose mother, Phillipa Plantagenet (Phillipa of Clarence), is the daughter and heir of Lionel of Antwerp, who was Edwards oldest surviving son, after Edward the Black Prince. In fact, given that Edward's line died out, Lionel's line is the senior line of descent. The Queen's line, mostly via John of Gaunt's descent, is illegitimate to begin with as his descendants (along the line of eventual descent) derive from illegitimate children of his marriage to Catherine Swyneford (de Roet). What makes it even funnier is that they married into Edward IV's line, and he was an illegitimate child of Cecily Neville (another relative, from the Percy/Mortimer/Neville line) and Richard of York. Richard wasn't even his father!!!. Even so, the fact that John knew that Lionel's line was the senior line, and was recognised as such, made John, and his immediate descendants, treachery to their family even more disagreeable. They were just too ambitious for their own good, and look where it got the family. York would never have been able to make claim to the throne either, if it hadn't been for Anne Mortimer marrying her cousin Richard (York's father). By all laws of legal claim, the Queen and her entire line has no rightful claim to the throne, but what could you do now. It's all water under the bridge. Several lines could claim the throne...the line via George Plantagenet, of whom Michael Abney-Hastings is the present head, Anne's eldest child Isabel and her descendants (the Bouvier family) or the present Duke of Northumberland. It still might make Kate 10000th in line, but that's closer than what the Queen and her closer relatives should be. However, it's not going to happen. However, the irony of it all is if Kate and William do marry, it means that one of the scions of the true senior line of royal descent will have managed to finally get a hold of their line's birthright...no matter the distance of blood ties. Criticising a "commoner" like Kate, in this snobbish "background" way that some have, can get you into a spot of bother, when you don't know their background.
