Judith Keppel won £1 million last night in "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"
(UK). Her final question was to identify the husband of Eleanor of
Aquitaine.

Anyone know whether by any chance Ms Keppel, who is said to be related to
Camilla Parker-Bowles, is one of the many, many descendants of Eleanor and
Henry II?

If she's a descendant of Alice, she may have a much closer royal connection
:-)

If she's not descended form Edward VII, she is at least descended from
Charles II via Charles Lennox. See

Not sure, but maybe. ISTR that Edward VII, when Prince of Wales, had a
mistress by the name of Alice Keppel.
But is Judith a Keppel by birth or by marriage?

She's a Keppel by birth - her father was a younger son of the 9th Earl of
Albemarle.

Alice Keppel had only 2 daughters, Violet who married Major Denys Trefusis, and
Sonia who married Hon Roland Cubitt (parents of Camilla).

I suspect this may be Judith Cynthia Aline Keppel, born 1942, dau of Walter
Keppel and Aline Harrington. The father of Walter was Walter Keppel, 9th Earl
of Albermarle, who was brother to George Keppel, husband of Alice. (This
Judith's brother is heir to the earldom of Albermarle.) The 2nd Earl of
Albermarle married Anne, dau of Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Buckingham.

I saw this win reported in a West Australian newspaper, the report seemed to
be lifted from a British newspaper and had some obvious errors. They
maintained that Judtih Cythia Aline Keppel was a descendant of Alice Keppel.
Alice only had two daughters and no sons to continue the Keppel line.

Judtih is a granddaughter of the 9th Earl of Albemarle and is a first cousin
of Sonia Keppel (daughter of Alice) who is the grandmother
of Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Now to your question. Judith (and Camilla) are descendants of Charles
Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond an illegitimate son of King Charles II and,
yes, thy are definitely descendants of King Henry II and Eleanor of
Aquitaine.
Best wishes

Far, far more than just one million.

Hmmmmmmmm.

So, that would seem to make Judith Keppel a 1st cousin, once removed, of Alice
Keppel and a 1st cousin, twice removed, of Camilla [Shand] Parker-Bowles.

Judith Keppel would also appear to be a first cousin of the current 10th Earl of
Albermarle, who is also a grandchild of the 9th Earl.

Is that the way you see it, Leo?
