I suppose at least he could address every royal as 'cousin' without being more specific. :)Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-15570656644400090452012-02-23T17:07:29.435+00:002012-02-23T17:07:29.435+00:00Edward seems to have been related to just about ev...Edward seems to have been related to just about everyone who was anyone in Europe :-) How you keep track of it all is amazing.
