In almost every century, there have been allegations concerning the parentage of an heir to the throne, based upon the physical appearance of said heir. Genetic links have become tenuous over time, often to the point of being difficult to sustain a realistic connection. Possibly only the Hanoverians have retained the longest successive inheritance. Which is almost a joke, as their connection to the previous line is almost invisible. The Plantagenets may be said to have a longer true inheritance, but there are far too many skeletons in that particular cupboard.
Centuries of an inherited monarchy, is just BS. I recall a TV programme some years ago, in connection with the discovery of Richard III’s remains. The programme set out to find genetic links to the last of the Plantagenets. They found a British immigrant to Australia, who had been there many years, made a good life, but was still called a ‘Pom’ by his Aussie mates. Iirc, he said that he would not swap his present life for being King.
