Bonnie Prince Charlie’s descendant is next in line to the throne, they played the long game 😅

I was born in the 250th anniversary of Culloden, and being half British, watching the funeral and hearing that song, made me tear up.

because Princess Diana was a descendant of the Bonnie Prince, meaning, when Prince William becomes king, both lineages will become 1 & rule the UK

I mean. Prince Charles is now on the throne and his heir is a descendent of the original Jacobite kings soooo ultimately fitting 😅

The piper that woke her every morning played 'Sleep, Dearie, Sleep' as they laid her to rest. Perfection.

The Queen's mother was Scottish nobility. Scotland was one of her realms.

Her mother was Scottish and I can understand why it was played.

Interesting considering the song is about her dynastic rival who fought against her own ancestors.
