Yes, Prime Minister: they are all related to the Duchess

-

CAMILLA counts three British Prime Ministers among her relatives.

First, George Canning, right, the shortest-serving Premier, who lasted just 119 days in Downing Street before his sudden death from pneumonia at the age of 57 in 1827. The second, Alec Douglas-Home, also had a short career at No10 – a mere 363 days, ending in 1964.

Henry, Lord Palmerston, left, was twice Prime Minister, holding positions of state almost continuous­ly from 1807 to his death in 1865.

Camilla is also related to Sir Allan MacNab, who was Prime Minister of Canada from 1854 to 1856.
