LONDON: Prince William, second-in-line to the throne, will be first British king with proven Indian ancestry, DNA analysis has revealed.
The DNA analysis of saliva samples taken from the Duke of Cambridge’s relatives have established a direct lineage between the 30-year-old prince and an Indian housekeeper on his mother Princess Diana’s side.
It is his only non-European DNA and means he will become the first head of the Commonwealth with a clear genetic link to its most populous nation – India.
The DNA tests will prove that many a prominent people in Europe have their ancestral heritage in India. It should not surprise my friends that many a words spoken in European languages come directly from Punjabi. With the same meanings and very much resembling pronunciation. Names of many European cities and villages also come from Punjab. Here in France, I have found even the names of streets against the names of some Punjabi tribes and clans. I have found Punjabi words even in Russian. They are spoken with the same pronunciation and meanings even in Moscow. Orthography of different languages has caused a bit of difference in pronunciation. It has got a historical background, which Europeans admit, may not admire. Punjabi is a born traveler who have been moving to different lands for centuries.
Some more details ? which ‘housekeeper’ ?
