Who is willing to tell her she is not lol.

My first thought was "divine right," but then I thought that David may be like Charlemagne and most people can probably claim him as a grandfather or at least that is a theory. The trick is, what is the path? Not likely known or verifiable.

Statistically speaking, everyone in the world is a descendant of King David.

There's several claimed paths that seem feasible, even if they cannot be proven.

For one thing, it was common in many European countries in the Middle Ages for Jewish converts to Christianity to be formally adopted into noble families. Many of those conversos went on to marry other nobles. There's some indication from records that various kings of Spain were aware of having some Jewish ancestry, and were particularly sensitive about that topic.

Queen Elizabeth II is one of the few persons in the world that has her own family archive and her own staff to research her familytree full time. She really knows who is family and who is not. In the end the complete royal families in Europe are married with eachother and so. The whole point is if she will as the head of the church of England will accept King David.

It is wise not to open that can of worms.

Looks like the line goes through Paloma ha-Leví Benveniste I am not seeing any strong evidence for this connection. Looks like it was cut in the past but someone added it back in. The connection to Paloma's parents comes from the works of David Hughes and Jaim Harlow, both known genealogical frauds, so ill go ahead and cut the connection again and lock it down.

The "Paloma" thing is not new, but it is based on speculation. She was apparently historical, but was probably not Jewish.

I do not know how she worked it out but anything is feasible.

King David's son King Salomon had 70 wives from all over the world, his idea of having peace.

I doubt the genealogy of all his offspring has ever been done.

Though it doesn't say for me about Queen Elizabeth II (no blood relationship was found), it does have David as Catherine the Great's 94th great grandfather, and she still has direct descendants that are alive today.

Paloma is my second great grandfather's wife's father's wife's 12th great grandmother.

Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom is my15th cousin.

Could someone confirm any other sources for Paloma? She is my 18th great grandmother & I want to learn more about her!
