Relation to royal family
I noticed someone just added info to the article that posits a direct relation between George Bowes and the current Royal Family. I considered reverting this or adding citation needed tag(s), but then I realized, I can check this claim for myself using FamilySearch. So I did, and I was able to verify the claim -- so I am documenting the bloodline as I found it, for anyone interested. Here's a link to the family tree over there. (It looks like Wikipedia has sufficient information to connect all these dots as well.)
