1. A lot of us are from the wrong side of the blanket in royal families…

2. I’m a Tudor. My ancestor was William Todd, High Sherrif of York.

3. He was already royalty, now he has papers

4. Are there any teeth to this claim?

5. As someone in Oceania and Asia I’m related to Mongolian royalty… doesn’t quite ring as good tho

6. Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers!

7. Meanwhile that hairline is ascending 🫣

8. My people were lords of the isles until John MacDonald fucked around and found out.

9. Irish Person here! Fuck off Walton Goggins!

10. He is so awesome in fall out

11. Whatever you think of his politics, I always liked the PJ O’Rourke like on this.

    It seems we were kings in the olden days. But who wasn’t? It must have been interesting, the Ireland of Zero A.D.: “I’m the king–from this rock down to the creek and from that cow to the tree. And this is my wife, the Queen, and our dog, Prince.” And it must have been every bit as peaceful as it is today, with a million or two kings on one island…

12. 1) my man is forever a king.
    2) that picture does things.

13. Me, him, and 86% of the United States

14. Hey that means I’m a distant relative of Walton Goggins since that is also part of my family tree according to the ancestry thing I did.

15. Yeah I am also according to 23andMe.

16. Wow a celebrity descended from royalty and/or wealth.

    Who knew?

17. I don’t buy it. Walton Goggins was waiting at Plymouth when the English arrived.

18. Ancestry said I am 60% Scottish and decent from a king. Don’t we all? lol

19. Niall of the nine hostages is the second most fecund historical character I think. First is genghis khan maybe.

20. Aren’t basically all Irish people descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages?

    That’s what I was told in school anyway.
