"You are directly descended from royalty"
Danny.exe has stopped working
Yep the MM side
This is the best argument against hereditary privilege and monarchy I've ever seen.
time to file your claim the throne! or at least a cut of the royal possesions
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Not at all - if danny would have been born the heir he would have prepared all his life to take the throne so im 100% certain even this buffon would be a better leader than any elected official
' I KNEW I WAS A PRINCESS!!!'
100% my reaction 😂😂
I'm pretty sure, if you'd take your family-line back to the stone-age, it's pretty unlikely that none of your ancestors were any royalty.
In that sense, every girl can consider herself a princess and every boy can consider himself a prince.
@@liquidminds Fantastic! Now, where's my crown?!
@@liquidminds Wishful thinking (from a Brit)!
@@nikki2970 love that
Haha I love that his wife is basically a female Danny dyer 😂 she’s hilarious
That music is actually in Danny's head
I rewatched it after reading this... I was not disappointed
Amazing😂😂
😂😂😂
Surely it would be echoing more in the void?
I was thinking about the Champions League Hymn or the Ode to the Joy from Beethoven
This is still the most incredible thing that's ever happened on this show.
Blair, have you watched Boris Johnson's episode? Very interesting .
Total f*ckin nonsense, if you go back that number of generations to 1320 (about 30) then you would have (2^30) 1,073,741,824 ancestors. Start at 2 and double 30 times and you will reach 1,073,741,824. Most inter breading of course. Very bad broadcasting by the BBC for not telling the truth.
barb rarick proof?
@@1KingCharlesSpaniel There is but one problem: just 200 years ago the population of the world was just over 1 billion...so how can we have over 1 billion ancestors 700 years ago? That's not how ancestry works 😂
You go back that far and most of our trees are pretty straight lines 😂
Wonder why they didn't take it to the other natural conclusion: that through Edward III's mother, Isabella of France he is also descended from medieval French royalty
They mentioned this in another series.
All hail Danny Dyer King of England and France eh
he was shown an extended royal family tree here: ruclips.net/video/CkvnkNFZzNI/видео.html
They are BRITISH. They have never acknowledged any greatness beyond their island.
Adam Dalziel I have the same ancestor Edward iii and we looked into it there’s British, Scottish, Spain, French and israean kings in the family too
"Edward the fird." Ha, love it. Best guest ever on this show!
His disbelief was so relatable !!!!!!!!!!!
wow
Charlie PB I thought he was going to faibt!
@@PamelaTaylor I had the same disbelieve when I ended up in the same place doing my tree and Im Irish. Means I must also be realted to Danny :-):
His face when he was told Henry build the abbey 👌😂😂😂
Not really. The abbey has been “rebuilt” many times (meaning drastic reforms to the new styles) but the builder was King St. Edward the Confessor, who’s also an ancestor of Edward III.
i know. absolutely broke me. in tears of laughter.
Absolutely priceless
💙💖
Not just any Henry, but the third one! Henry the 3rd. 😂
His reaction to being told his relative, King Henry III, built the Abbey he was stood in, is just perfect haha
What’s really crazy is to think.. he actually has a claim to the throne of England.
Nothing has changed in the Laws of how the Monarchy works. He straight up.. Danny Geeeezer Dyer.. has a claim to the Throne of England..
Madness
someone should make a movie
Theres more hiers(claims) to the throne of england then royals in the family currently. Thats mad in itself
From humble beginnings Edward III bloodline has manifested itself the polished gentleman that is Danny Dyer
And France
He really doesn't.
Anyone else notice he's also related to Thomas Cromwell, former Chancellor of England to Henry VIII? Before he fell on Henry's bad side and was beheaded for treason.
They covered this in the show as well
that's a rather strange commentary. no need to question about noticing it considering 10-11 mins was entirely devoted to the thomas cromwell connection (which then led to the seymour line).
danny was told of thomas's humble beginnings, becoming 2nd only to the King, and then dying as a commoner after being accused of treason and having his head set on a spike on the London Bridge. have a look at it here: ruclips.net/video/G8IwexYpD3M/видео.html
Funny, until tonight, I never heard of Thomas Cromwell and I just finished reading about his execution in the book “City of Sin: London and it’s vices”.
Wait so then King Thomas Cromwell first of his name
Thomas Cromwell or Thomas Moore?
'I'm gonna treat myself to a ruff'. Brilliant, ledgend =)
What's a ruff? Drunken stooper?
@@pricea3030 Ha! A fashionable accessory in Tudor times.
That was pretty damn good
Hehee!
I'd have a full roast pig with a jester playing to me
I do family tree research as part of my job and I wish more folks were as down to earth and engaged with the history as Danny Dyer. Most folks who use our services are incredibly posh and entitled . You would not believe the number of people who yelled at me when I told them they aren't descended from aristocracy :(
If you ever wanna do my family tree hmu lol
Obviously, it's the posh and entitled who can afford the services of a professional researcher. No surprise there. But keep it up! Love that family tree research can teach us so much about history in general! Amazing stories!
@@jadeh2699 Learning history is the best part of doing genealogy!
@@jkell2888
Where are you from? You can do a lot of it online yourself if you're in UK or Europe
@@fishinwidow35
Yes I agree, history is fascinating, it gives you wisdom and knowledge the deeper you dig, I was surprised to find my surname goes back to the Anglos, of west the Midlands, in staffordshire, it was once a kingdom called Mercia, apparently i would have been royalty of that house according to geneology but wessex and its allies in france were politically stronger and we became subjects of foreign rule, (Britain) according to history,
Best ending haha. It really can change how people value themselves, once they learn their history.
You're right; knowing your history can change how people value themselves; so...if your history, your genealogy, and your name were taken from you...how do you learn to value yourself?
An interesting comment imogen begins. I know firsthand what it is like, being from the Caribbean.
"Get out of my manor!" - Lord Daniel of Dyreshire

Until his mum confesses about the milkman
😂
lol😀😁😂😅
hahaha
All that lovely list coming from a milkman? lol - i think most people that have more than 4 generations in England will have some shared DNA to all those on the tree.
Jordan Ault this coment had me in bloody stitches.... falling off my bed with laughter at 4 am early morning...

Danny's accent juxtaposed against the other guys...and Danny is the one related to King Edward...is extra hilarious. lol
I was thinking the same.
When Danny was told Henry III built the abbey. His face was priceless.
Teacher: What do you think of when somebody says “Edward III”
Me: Danny Dyer.
I actually think it's his genuine disbelief that makes the truth all the more spectacular!
We need a Doctor Who episode where Danny Dyer goes back to see him and save his kingdom
With Danny as the Doctor.
@@scsutton1 "fackin ell its wanna those dalek geezas:
Not Doctor Who more like Doctor You What ?
@@davedogge2280 U wot m8? U wana 'av a-go?
🤣🤣
Us Australians get this excited when we find out were related directly to a real convict sent from England bhahahahahhahahahhahahha
Well, if u are, then u too are related to Edward III. It was proven several years ago, that every single person with just 1 drop of British blood is in some way or another descended from Edward III. Its been proven impossible for any person of British blood to NOT be descended from Edward III. The only revelation here is them constructing the family tree.
LOL
Haaa yep, second fleet!
This is the single best episode of who do you think you are
Definitely the best! His reaction to Henry the 3rd who built the abby he was standing in was priceless lol
@@coletteleroux4636 😳 what does that even mean?
The Royal family 🤣🤣
She always knew she was a princess 🤔🤣
Who else was waiting on him saying king Edward the 111... bollocks!
Lol! Her saying “I’m a Princess!!” is the best😂😂❤️
Imagine what Edward 111 would have thought about being responsible for Danny Dyer.
5:14 I like how the kid points up at it. It's like he knows
1:27 - 1:40
"Why the f%$k am I here? I used to be a hard man in movies but now I'm Malcolm the fourth sons cousin of the sultan of Brunei"
I had the same reaction when i found out I was related to Scottish royalty. LOL this is the best story from this series I have watched
My mom studies our families genealogy and she suspects that Im distantly related to Robert the Bruce. I think through my paternal side. I am part Scottish.
Danny Dyer is brilliant. He’s grown on me over the years, haha.
I love his WIFE! That is so funny! I am still laughing!
4:00 THE CHAMPIOOOONNNSSS
I've been researching my family tree recently and found out that I'm a 24 times great granddaughter to Edward the 1st through his daughter Joan of Acre. Just like Danny I couldn't believe it so I went through my family tree again checking my work to see if it was wrong and it wasn't. They say if you go back far enough most of us is a descendant of royalty.
Woah! So would that mean you're distantly related to Danny?
@@aryastargirl5593 yes, a very very distant cousin.
I found out a few years ago that my 11th cousin is Princess Diana Spencer
@@jasonalexanderrenwick1657 You are more connected to her than what I am. My 13 times great grandparents are Robert Sackville and Margaret Howard. After Margaret died Robert went on to marry Ann Spencer of Althorp who is a ancestor of Lady Diana.
What's crazy I just thought this but back in those times what about the people alive then. Like the people then wouldn't of been related or descendants to Edward the 1st . So how could so many now then . Danny could of went back to those times and been a descendant of no royalty but went back further and then might of been .
"Oh, my GOOODDD!! I knew I was a princess!!!!"
I like that woman....
Interesting reaction. It is estimated that over 1 million Britons are descended from William the Conquerer (that’s 1 in 60 ish) so it’s not that unusual especially if you exclude people that know their family arrived to the UK later via immigration. The hardest part is making the connection into a documented line as royal heritage is quickly forgotten after just a few generations. It would also appear that I am related to Danny as Edward III is my 16th great grandfather!
You look like his daughter Danny, so yeah I can see the connection
Very true, it's the same in certain parts of Wales people being descended from Prince's and warlord's. My ancestor was Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur (Sir Owen Tudor)
Agreed
Literraly no one cares
How can Edward the III be your 16x grand father and danny's 22x grandfather? That's 8 generations of difference there how can you and Danny be 8 generations apart and still be living at the same time? How old are you 328?
Anyone who hasn't watched the full episode needs to remedy that as soon as possible, it's absolute TV gold!
Total f*ckin nonsense, if you go back that number of generations to 1320 (about 30) then you would have (2^30) 1,073,741,824 ancestors. Start at 2 and double 30 times and you will reach 1,073,741,824. Most inter breading of course. Very bad broadcasting by the BBC for not telling the truth.

There must be hundreds of people today who are descendants of Edward III. Each generation of descendants is larger than the last.
@Mean Biters its actually millions.
Direct descendant? Whats an inderect descendant? What hés says is actually right. U have 2 parents 4grandparent 8 great grandparents and so on minus some overlap further down the line.
@Mean Biters you don't know what a direct descendant is, do you? Lol
@@robbiemoraes8511 in not native english speaking so thats what im asking... Its nicer to elaborate when someone asks something than make fun of them?
@@RaMMeRaaR That answer was not to you. It was to Mean Biters. A direct descendant is someone who is a son, grandson, etc of someone. That's all :)
@@robbiemoraes8511 ahh, nvm then. But is an normal descendant not the same?
I see Danny Dyer actually presenting a history show as well now, now who said television has been dumbed down far too much, i wont believe it!
Moral of the story... Never downgrade yourself for where you think you came from or who you think you really are. Always keep the mindset that you came from royalty, because in the end we all did! We are all Worthy of God's love, peace and glory! And you can't get any more Kingly than that...lol! 👑😊 Blessings All!🌹🌹
Salam. (Peace be upon u ). a nice and wise coment. We should look at ourself. Who we are why here who created us where is the end. We need reflect and love god
How could we all. What about the royalty back then and all the people alive back then and not connected to royalty.if everyone dome a family tree to back then wouldn't so many be related to peasants etc .what I'm saying is this is a big thing for Danny because not everyone will be related to royalty. Like if say normal people back then were they descendants to royalty .
As soon as he read out plantagent i knew. I love our british history!
Same. I was like DEAR LORD HE'S ROYALTY.
Why ?
Same!
@@noway2434 Because Plantagenet was the first English Royal house in 1066
@@mysteryegg340 Sorry but that's not true, the first English royal house would have been the House of Wessex, followed by the House of Normandy, the Angevins, and then the Plantagenets
I would like to see a BBC series of the life of Henry III, starring Danny Dyer.
This is sooo good.... how good you must feel to know all that history stays in your blood!!!!
in tears. that was so sso funny. his face. his expressions. Absolutely crack me up.
All hail Danny I, the true King of England.
“I’m going to have to wear a ruff”
This is literally the Holy Grail of genealogical exploration!
It's nice to know that almost every European alive today can trace their lineage back to royalty but to actually have the proof is on another level entirely.
It’s like that bit from Star Wars
This was when having a TV license was worth it! Beautiful 🇬🇧
Kid had me rolling up in the end "get out of it" hahahah
3:56 Love his reaction of disbelief... Have watched it multitudes of times.
Danny just oozes class great actor! Great Personality
Thank you to #whoDoYouThinkYouAre? I too have done my familytree like Danny has I am not related to any Royals . This episode is very interesting indeed.
My favourite moment ever when he laughs I love it lol
'Yes, you are related to Sir Henry (Hotspur) Percy'.
'But I'm West Ham!'
The UK would be the best it’s ever been if Danny becomes king
Love Danny.. says it how it is think always the best people
I know exactly how he feels. I have done and redone my family tree, found every piece of information possible to make sure it was correct. Every time it comes up like his. I still can't believe it.
This series on Danny is one of my all time favorites on this channel! I felt like I was right there with him. What a lucky guy! What a lot to mull over.
My father has been doing my family tree and we are descendants of William the conqueror, Edward the 1st ect. there was also a king of Spain, a king of France and loads or knights in there. Was fascinating to see it all
What really happened:
Danny: "I'm related to King Edward III"
Showrunner: "Well we'll see, stranger things have happened"
Danny: "Listen mate, I'm not asking, I'm related to him"
Showrunner: "..........Okay, we'll write something up for you"
Danny: "You'll write it on a scroll"
Showrunner: "Of course, your majesty"
I recognized some of the people in that family tree from my time doing genealogical research. It's entirely possible that it's accurate.
@@lightyagami3492 I don't doubt that it is, I was attempting to make a joke.
SOOO, That means that Courtney Cox and Danny Dyer are also related, because both are descendants of William the Conquerer!! I just saw Courtney Cox ancestry show yesterday! I reacted to the last name Mortimer, which was her relative also. Wow, we all are related in this world somehow... 🤩
His wife os so funny , running while saying "I'm a Princess"!
⭐I bloody loved this ⭐
CONGRATULATIONS your lordship👏
Wow how exciting to have this bloodline and history behind you
You must be so PROUD of your ancestors
I can't help after watching this feel so included 🤭
Wow how lucky you are
Australia 💕 Christina
The wife reaction 😩😂😂🤣💞
This was the best episode by far
Danny: “I think I’m going to purchase a ruff”
😂
I so want to come on this program
3:58 is such a great moment
I am one of Edward lll great granddaughters and when this was found out I also found I'm related to Danny Dyer, small world.
Powerful video this
No way he is literally a descendant of Hotspur 😂 When he now reads or watches Henry VI part 1 by ShakeSpeare the antagonist is his grandfather
A lot of the royal were pretty evil tbh. Don't forget the tyrant queen Vic
Studying the play Rn and I feel like I actually learned something
I found out that I was directly related to Charlemagne by way of my English ancestors who came to Virginia in the 1620s. From there, I traced my family through several English nobility, then French nobility, and eventually Charlemagne. He would be my (a large number of greats) great grandfather.
My Fleets/Fleet family are defended from Plantagenets too. My Fleets are a Virginia family based in King & Queen County.
I'm directly related to God
@@featherfleet-dunwoody5080 Which king are you descended from? Im related to Edward III like Danny is bit not through Lionel Plantagenet but through his more famous son John of Gaunt.
That's amazing mate!
“Ah fink ah’m gunna treat meself to a ruff!” 😂😂😂
I can't be .....I can't be.. the best part 😂
His reaction is better than when Hague’s told Harry he was a wizard.
3:55 that smile says it all
So Dunny Diya has royalty in his blood?
God help us all 😂
Yip Danny definitely reminds me of a Edward the third. Especially with his Cockney rhyming slang.
Danny Dyer is such an underrated actor. I love his performance in GTA: San Andreas as Kent Paul.
Dude that was awesome.
Danny Dyer HDYTUR is the best one by far. 💚
Danny you are a descendant of king Edward III ... Danny : No i am Danny , just Danny lol !!!
What a wonderful thing to find out!, congratulations
The Look On His Face When He Finally Realises Who His Royal Descendants Are👑 .Brilliant Lol
Wow that would be awesome to be related to kings and queen's
Danny dyer is related to me through the Seymour family
We Are All Royalty At The End Of The Day!!!🥰💖💕👑☺️💘
"I think I’m going to treat myself to a ruff" 😂😂😂
Danny is essentially Gendry
"Ok ad' mar moment narw lets go"
From the US...welcome to the family! I am related to Edward III through John of Gaunt. By Sir Dudley Digges, whose son Edward Digges became the first of the Royal Governors of Virginia. Via my Neville and St. Leger lines. Just another humble, working Plantagenet heir and loving life!!!
nice one bruvaaa
I found out i'm related to my dad
Don't even know him 😂
He is destined to be a Spurs fan
I love it makes me smile his in Enthusiasm about the blue plate
the ending was the best!
Would that mean he is related to Rollo the Vikingbwho was given Normandy?
ziggy2009 yes
So he has some distant, ok very distant relatives in Iceland, as Rollo' s half-brother Hrollaugur Rögnvaldsson settled large parts of SE Iceland. is.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hrollaugur_R%C3%B6gnvaldsson
