So what’s behind the Hastings’ claim to the crown? Here’s a little history: Way back in the 1400s, Richard of York was Lord Protector of the realm and father of the future King of England, by dint of a hard-won agreement with the childless King Henry VI. Richard was married to the lovely (and possibly unfaithful) Cecily, and while he was off fighting the French, according to some historians, a child was conceived. That child grew up to be King Edward IV. However: if Edward really was illegitimate, the crown should have been passed down to his brother, George. And 500 years of royal geneology later, according to research by Britain’s Channel Four television, the true head beneath the crown should not belong to Queen Elizabeth but to Hastings.

Off with her head? Wait, that's not going to get me a visit from MI-6, or some other much further off the radar British commando group is it? I didn't mean it literally. OK guys?

Apparently some sheep farmer in Australia is the supposed true heir....I read that somewhere...

He should get some stone and walk into the palace like he owns the place.
