"As well as comparing DNA from the bones with that of Michael Ibsen, a London-based furniture-maker who is a direct descendant of the king’s sister, Anne of York, they have been subject to carbon dating – which can date bones to between 70 and 100 years – and other studies including environmental analysis."

Have I got this right?

They're using the DNA of Richard's mother or they're using the current Queen's DNA (or one of her children's DNA) to see if it's compatible with Richard's?

Somebody with the surname Ibsen (edit - Michael Ibetson) + various people who wanted to remain anonimous.

You're right about the hanky-panky, but they have taken DNA from various descendent lines. Some of them must be 'true'.

Whose DNA are they using to test and ensure it is Richard 3?

You'd have to be pretty sure that no hanky panky went on within the family!
