Gabriel Attal, heir to the throne in the United Kingdom? We’re not there yet. However, the former Minister of Education appointed Prime Minister by Emmanuel Macron on January 9, 2024, would indeed be related to the current King of the United Kingdom, Charles III. In any case, this is what our colleagues atRoyal Stories
who carried out a long investigation into the family tree of the youngest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic.
The opportunity for our colleagues to make a clear observation: Gabriel Attal has noble ancestors. From barons to counts, including princes and princesses, the high nobility would have an important place in their family tree. So much so that the current Prime Minister would have family ties with Charles III, but would also be a distant cousin of King Harald V of Norway and King Felipe VI of Spain as well as all the sovereigns having Christian IX of Danmark as ancestor.
Charles III suffering from cancer, but motivated to manage royal affairs
However, this will not be enough to claim the throne of Great Britain or otherwise. And if the throne of our neighbors across the Channel is causing so much talk, it is because Buckingham Palace announced terrible news on February 5. Indeed, King Charles III is suffering from cancer. An illness discovered during the last operation undergone by Camilla’s companion for benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Despite the discovery of this illness, the monarch wanted to reassure his people. He remains optimistic about his treatment and assured that he would continue to manage certain matters such as receiving the Prime Minister every week.
