Both Charles and Mr. Trudeau are descendants of husband and wife Roger and Joan Boyle who lived in the 16th century.

The King is a descendant of his son, Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, and Mr Trudeau is a descendant of his daughter, Lady Mary Smith.

The 1st Earl of Cork was Treasurer of the Kingdom of Ireland when it was a client state of England.

The 4th Earl of Cork, also known as Richard, was the great-great-grandfather of the king’s great-grandmother, Cecilia Bowes Lyon.

Her daughter was the Queen Mother, Charles’s grandmother.

Trudeau’s legacy includes eight generations of the Bernard family. Thomas Patrick Bernard was his maternal great-grandfather.

“The connections discovered between Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, and Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, and the King, perhaps unknown to them, show the beauty of genealogy research. It perfectly illustrates the broader view of family ties that transcend borders and borders.
