- Davina McCall makes some intriguing and shocking discoveries as she delves into her family's past. As a child of divorced parents, Davina, who is half-French, was brought up by her paternal grandmother in England and knows very little about her maternal French heritage. She also wants to find out if there is any truth behind the story that has been passed down for generations, claiming that the English side of her family is descended illegitimately from royal blood.
Davina's grandmother reveals that she believes Davina's great great, great, great-grandfather, James Thomas Bedborough, is the illegitimate son of George IV. The trail does indeed lead to Windsor but not quite in the way Davina expected.
On her French side, Davina wants to find out more about her great-grandfather Celestin Hennion. Her starting point is a medal that was given to Hennion by George V in gratitude for organising security for the monarch's trip to France in 1914. Davina knows her great grandfather was Head of the French police at the time, and decides to head to Paris to find out more.
In Paris, Davina is amazed to discover that her ancestor was famous throughout France and responsible for revolutionising the French police service. She also finds out that he was at the centre of a case that rocked France politically and divided the nation bitterly.

Why can’t we watch the whole shows???
Davina is lovely
I would very much like to learn more about the estimated number of people who used to have aristocratic or even royal ancestors…Does modern history know about those family lines until today? Somehow hard how people dropped out of high social standards at some point and ended even in poverty and misery…
Every time 'Upton Park' is mentioned, I keep thinking of east London and the District Line station there...
"...he rogered" 😂😂😂
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today????
She can still be related to the king, her ancestor worked there, and around, long days, maybe his wife wasn't around always..? If so, the wouldn't write it out of course..!
They had nice banter. Love Davina
More please!
Love Davina.

I am a peasant.
I never knew that John Favreau did genealogy
My last name is Babauta, and the results gave me people whose surname were "babat" or something like that, then when I checked the census linked to some people with the last name, it was clearly "Babauta"
Last names change in spelling due to immigration and traveling and illiteracy. People just wrote whatever they heard. My moms last name is Cantu but on different records it's spelled different ways
I think that maybe if she really wanted to find out about the history of Upton Park, she should have gone and seen West Ham play Football 😂💯
Hey! Her Dad looks like Neil Diamond!!
they used to post the whole episode but now you just get snippets. :(
And isn't it just so d - - - -d irritating!
@@judithharper7967 i believe they've snipped them all, so we don't wait for them to appear on UA-cam instead of watching it on TV. 🙂
@@placesweborn646 I believe you're right. My problem is that the series isn't shown here in New Zealand so the only way to view it is in bits and pieces like this and its hard to get them in the right order.
This is something to do with BBC copyright that we don’t get to see the whole show… It’s absolutely pathetic of the BBC
@@judithharper7967 Yep its the same here for me in Canada. Both the BBC and American versions only have snippets on here any more. And don't show on tv. So frustrating!
Seriously, no horrible histories references? Not a single one? I am dissapointed
Dna?
THC?
Lie back and think of England lol 😂
She has the annoying habit of interrupting people while they talk and of cutting them off.
She's definitely got an aristocratic nose 🙂
If you are mostly Caucasian, you are all related to some Royalty down the line somewhere
….and yet those that say they are descendants of royalty can’t even name their great grandparents.
It’s all very well saying that you are descended from royalty,the hard part is proving it.
I don't think that's true. Royals kept very closed breeding circles 😅 I'm Polish and highly doubt we descend from any royals.
Well i dont mean to sound nasty but she has got the same nose as great times grandad haha
What's wrong with her nose? It's unique and interesting.
@@joanna0988 she has the same nose as her ancestor that’s what I said
@Jenna Sanders Yes but why did you preface it with "i don't mean to sound nasty..."
Is she related to the worst king England ever had? Yeah probably
Davina is a puppet
