Fact: the Queen and her husband are in fact cousins.
Enough said in my opinion. The Heirs are thus the product of said closed gene pool....
Interesting fact.
Most if not all nobility are the product of hundreds of generations of interbreeding. You cant find one case where this aristocrat didnt marry another
aristocrat from their own house or from another. This is the case with the elite in Portugal, Spain, france, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Lichetenstein, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Serbia, Russia. The main
concentration of the ruling noble houses are from here; and the big houses are the house of Savoy, house of bourbon (probably the most powerful),
house of orange, house of loraine-habsburg, etc

And this is especially remarkable, the Massimo family of Rome trace their ancestory back to Fabius Maximus (280 BCE) who himself was of the maximi
(massimo and maximo mean the same thing) family of ancient Rome, who were themselves an offshoot of the Fabia Family. Marcus Fabius Ambustus was the
great great grandfather of Fabius Maximus and pontifex Maximus in rome in 390 BCE... Beyond the fabia family, you move into the realm of myth. Their
ancestor was 'hercules' according to their legend. Of course this is to be understood in a mystical sense. In all likelyhood their biological
ancestors before this came from the near east. - Greece, Macedonia, Turkey, Cyprus etc.
Camillo Massimo was a 17th century cardinal who was of the prominent 'massimo' family in Rome.
Its absurd that this has always gone on. Imagine the arrogance, the sheer sense of entitlement that transcends our own 'primitive' understanding of
egotism that these particular individuals who are from these noble families possess. And we wonder why our world is so unbelievably screwed up. Its
because of these people. Who in turn have controlled western culture and civilization sicnes its beginnings. It philosophy is as much apart of their
genes, unconscious, language as it is a staple of their culture. Its a principle of the hellenistic/babylonian/egyptian/indo-european philosophy that
hasnt changed for 5000 years.
This is about the massimo family of today. Sounds like theyre the fulcrum of the entire elitist structure. Theyre so noble theyre hardly even known,
staying permanently behind the scenes in the 'eternal city' with im sure sufficient representation in the Vatican, and other power structures.
"Many of the Massimo princesses who married into the family were from the most important Royal families of Europe. These included HRH Princess
Cristina of Saxony, who married Prince Camillo Massimiliano in 1796; HRH Princess Maria-Gabriella of Savoy, who married Prince Camillo Vittorio in
1827; HRH Princess Beatrice of Borbon, daughter of HRH Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid, the pretender to the Spanish throne who married Prince Fabrizio in
1897; and HRH Princess Maria-Adelaide of Savoy-Genoa, daughter of the Duke of Genoa and niece of King Victor Emmanuel III[6], who married Prince Leone
in 1935.
The family all bear the Princely title (see original Almanach de Gotha, 1922 edition linked below) [7]. The Princely family is represented by Prince
Fabrizio Massimo-Brancaccio, Prince of Arsoli and Prince of Triggiano (b. 1963), whose heir Prince Fabrizio has requested not be cited, and Prince
Stefano Massimo, Prince of Roccasecca dei Volsci (b. 1955), whose heir is Prince Valerio Massimo (b. 1973) [8]. On the 21 May 2009 Prince Valerio
reached the summit of Mount Everest"
