Benedict Cumberbatch Is Related To Richard III, Claims Genealogist Ahead Of ‘The Hollow Crown' Series
by Guest Tue Jan 06, 2015 8:32 pm
Benedict Cumberbatch is currently filming scenes for ‘The Hollow Crown’, in which he plays Richard III, and now a genealogist has made a startling discovery. Professor Kevin Schurer, of Leeds University, has found that the ‘Sherlock’ star is as closely related to Richard III as the Queen
The Professor traced Richard’s descendants, all the way to Benedict and while it is estimated that between 1 and 17 million people in the UK are connected to the monarch, Kevin has explained to the Daily Mail why Benedict’s relationship with him is “more direct”.
“He [Benedict] is more direct because he is a third cousin,” he explains. “Most other relatives would be much lower order cousins.
“I think the Queen would be a third cousin several times removed as well.”
