Even though the current Royal Family are descendants of the Kings and Queens of history, the Spencer family has aristocratic ties which directly stretch back even further
If you subscribe to the idea of the Six Degrees of Separation, you will believe that we are all only six of fewer social links away from each other. That number will certainly become smaller when you take the Royal Family into consideration.

It was founded in the 15th century and can count links to monarchs such as Henry VIII and King George III. But why is Diana, Princess of Wales considered to be more aristocratic than the Royal Family?
