“For many years we thought that there were today no living female line descendants of the princes’ family, but just 18 months ago I succeeded in locating the 16 times great-granddaughter of their maternal grandmother, Jacquette of Luxembourg – and that has allowed us to obtain a modern sample of the mitochondrial DNA that the princes would have almost certainly also had,” said Glen Moran, the academic who carried out the crucial genealogical research.
That 16 times great-granddaughter of the Princes in the Tower’s maternal grandmother is the British opera singer Elizabeth Roberts, who was the soprano soloist during the lighting of the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
She told The Independent: “My family’s connection to this fascinating story from medieval English history has come as a complete surprise.”
