That is wonderful news, BK. In Christianity, Bible says that the Jew shall come first. :-D |

What's more interesting then will be whether the baby is a girl :-) with the change to order of succession, a girl will be the Queen one day, a Jewish Queen of England, 'Defender of the Faiths plural? or 'secular'? |

Future head of the Church of England. It will be interesting to see how they work that out? |

Not quite true, BK. When a Jewish woman "marries out" as Kate's mum did, her children are not considered Jewish. |

Oh well a quick google rather dispels the likelyhood, but it also leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth, when one sees the anti-semitism of some of the headings ** ( edited to clarify...headings on other sites that came up when I googled the topic) :-( I despair of humanity sometimes ( often actually) I am glad I am not young anymore. |

If that title of Defender of the Faith remains (which Prince Charles has stated he is not happy about) then she will be legally the Queen of England and all her protectorates. So any Jewish blood will not diminish her authority, rather enhance it. |

What a shame-it would surely have re-modeled the Royal Family! |

One thing we can be absolutely certain of is that the Royal College of Arms would have checked Kate's forebears out to the n'th degree. None of these revelations will have been unknown to the main members of the Royal Family. |

Forgive me for c & p from Wiki; "On her accession on 6 February 1952, Queen Elizabeth became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon. " |

You also have you're own Prince of Wales so I'd be grateful if I was you. You may even get you're first Princess of Wales. :-) |

According to fairly definitive online source JewornotJew.com, even if there are Jews in Kate's family tree, at least five generations of the Goldsmith clan have been married in church, so if there was any Jewish link it was lost long ago. Still, it's nice to think that there might possibly be a couple drops of Jewish blood in the royal family for many generations to come - even if they won't exactly be hosting a Seder at Buckingham Palace. |

I think it calls for a party at the palace & we should all attend. :-D |
