| I just entered a person into the Family Forest who
sometime this century will most probably become an ancestor of kings.
His name is Francis Coote, Esq., of Eaton, in Norfolk, England.
According to Burke’s, Francis was a servant to Queen Elizabeth I.
A number of centuries later, one of his descendants, Diana Frances Spencer,
would marry a prince and become the mother of two sons who are in line to
become king.
Over hundreds of years, surprising things can happen that would be almost
impossible to imagine. When one of Princess Diana’s sons becomes king, who
would have been more surprised, Queen Elizabeth I, or Francis?
Queen Elizabeth I was never, and will never be, an ancestor of kings. Would
it ever have crossed her mind that someone who was a servant to her was
destined to become an ancestor of kings of her kingdom?
On a trying day of complying with royal wishes, would Francis have ever
grumbled to himself “One day my descendants will be in charge here!”?
