The following teaser is from an article posted in the August 6, 2015 dailymail.co.uk:
A blue-collar American is getting the royal treatment after a search for his family ancestry online revealed that he is the heir to the throne of the British Isle of Man.
In the new TLC reality series Suddenly Royal, David Drew Howe, 45, an auto-repair specialist from Maryland, embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, taking his wife Pam and their 12-year-old daughter Grace 3,000 away to learn what it really means to look and act like royalty.
And while David’s noble lineage, which he claims makes him a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, may have scored his family invites to the Prince William’s royal wedding to Kate Middleton, it proves to be far more difficult to earn the respect and acceptance of locals, who are less than thrilled that an American is taking the throne.
His journey has been documented for the TLC reality series Suddenly Royal which premiers September 9 at 10pm.
I am so jealous!!!
As comedy – entertaining.
As genealogy – exactly where is this magical pedigree?
As royal succession – ridiculous.
