Sounds like Coro Street. ;)

These days the royals take up with American divorcees, abdicate, marry a brood mare while at the same time keeping a mistress on the side. The real stars are at one end of the scale, the Party Prince, and at the other, Her Maj.

The thing is, it is stated quite categorically, in the area of the Tower where the bodies were found, that their remains will not be available for DNA, ever.<Snip>

I thought their remains were never found - can you able to provide any detail?

BTW thanks for your PM :)

You mean the half blood prince/party prince.

I did give some serious input on this thread.

And now!

I just checked out Blackadder Series1 episode 1 where it tells the real story of how Richard III died.

Baldrick says it very well.

(And I just got the line in the banquet scene where Richard III says that Edmund will be "arrow fodder")

"Gruesome discovery in the White Tower - The Two Little Princes
In 1674 two skeletons were discovered in the White Tower under the stairs leading to the chapel . The skeletons were subsequently reburied in Westminster Abbey as ordered by King Charles II . The skeletons were believed to be the remains of the bodies of the two tragic Little Princes, Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York . The two little Princes were reputedly killed on the orders of their uncle the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards King Richard III .

Who Murdered the Princes in the Tower?
No one knows who was behind the murder of the Two Little Princes whose bodies were discovered in the White Tower . The Tudors firmly pointed the finger at Richard III but many scholars now name King Henry VII as the real culprit . In 1933 a forensic examination conducted by Mr . Tannery and Professor Wright was unable to confirm whether the bones discovered in the White Tower were those of the Princes in the Tower . . . "

So really, there's still doubt! And I know I read on a plaque, in the Tower, that DNA on the remains will not be an option .
The mystery remains .
