I’ll be curious to see that episode because I always thought Henry VIII didn’t have any grandchildren, whether by his “legitimate” son and daughters or otherwise.
I imagine it’s properly through a illegitimate line that Josh is Henry’s descendent. Henry supposedly had a child with Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn’s sister before they got married. So who knows 🤔
Henry VIII is supposed to have had several illegitimate children but only acknowledged one Henry FitzRoy, his son by mistress, Elizabeth Blount. The name FitzRoy meaning illegitimate son of the King.
Well, the trusty Wikipedia says: "and on an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? it was revealed that he is potentially a relative of Henry VIII.[10] His 14th great grandmother was Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne Boleyn,". But this doesn't confirm whether or not Henry VIII is his direct ancestor.
Considering their was standard social, financial and legal institutions established to deal with the illegitimate children of the aristocracy, I can only assume it also dealt with making them ‘discrete’. If you can changed religious practice to allow you to be a serial husband, you can hide the inconvenient legacy of indiscretions

Does this mean that Josh now has a historical link to Danny Dyer.
At the very least he has a connection to Overwatch Coach Jayne.
Basically clones those two are
Could you please post the whole show? We miss it in the US. Thanks so much.
Basically he is descended from King Edward 1stn
I'm glad I watched the episode without seeing this first. It blew my mind!! I love Who Do You Think You?
0:13 That quip deserved more!

Josh and I are related! Henry is my 1st cousin 16x removed.

I'm an illegitimate ancestor of Henry Vlll
It was such an interesting and surprising episode.
That his material sorted for frickin ever !
Goes to prove that Henry VIII definitely put it about a bit - almost everyone is related to big H
So Josh is my distant cousin it would appear (via Edward I).
Just watched the programme on TV .
Wow, Josh! Well done! Do we call you Sir Josh now? 😉
Amazing stuff.
Didn't Adam Hills do "Who Do You Think You Are?" and he was related to a "one legged pirate" ?
Yes & he missed the perfect opportunity to do a leg joke when he found out. When he realised his oversight he was kicking himself for it. 🤣
ALL HAIL PRINCE JOSH!
Mary boleyn related to joss
Fucking hell Josh “a little bit more respect from you lot or it’s not gonna be just your feet that are chopped off, *points at Alex*
Should we refer to Josh as Lord Joshua Widdicombe now?
No, but you could call him Princess Widdicombe ..
@@bradhartliep879 🤣👍
Going on the French side, you can get all the way back to Robert the Strong.
Nice reference to horrible histories there josh
How can josh be a decendant of henry VIII if he only had 3 kids and none of them had children themselves
Pull the other one. Henry VIII had more children than Boris Johnson. Once a shagger, always a shagger.
@müd very true thank you. As a history buff this interests me greatly thank you
Henry had illigegitimate kids
Josh is actually a descendant of Mary Boleyn, the sister of Anne boleyn
You guys are on a freaking island. You are all related, at least the pale ones.
Is it okay that now Josh has to marry the widow next door?
lol
