How many cousins does Prince William have?

Question

Homework for girl guides, help needed asap!! This is prince William of England by the way, and how many aunts and uncles does he have? Cheers! On behalf of my daughter :p x

Answer 1

18 first cousins; 6 royal cousins from Prince William's dad's side of the family, and 12 aristocratic Spencer cousins.



Long Explanation: Prince William has six paternal first cousins; two each by uncles Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, who is married to the Countess of Wessex, the former Sophie Rhys-Jones, and Prince Andrew. the Duke of York, who is divorced from Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, as well as the two children of Princess Anne, the Princess Royal. He also has a new second cousin on this side of the family because Peter Philips, the son of the Princess Royal just fathered a daughter.



Lady Diana Spencer had two sisters and one brother that survived childhood: Her sister Lady Sarah Lavinia Spencer McCorquodale, had three children with her husband, Neil Edmond McCorquodale, while her sister, Lady Cynthia Jane Spencer Fellowes, who is the wife of Sir Robert Fellowes, is the mother of three. Earl Spencer, Charles Spencer, fathered four children by his first wife, Catherine Lockwood, and two children by his second wife, Caroline Freud. That makes 12 Spencer first-cousins.





Now for the Aunts and Uncles (with some explanation): Seven aunts and four uncles



---Two Mountbatten-Windsor aunts (by marriage; one is divorced) one Mountbatten-aunt by birth, and two paternal uncles (by marriage, although one is divorced);



---Two maternal aunts by birth and two by marriage (both divorced from Earl Spencer; two material uncles by marriage; That means four Spencer aunts (two by birth and two by marriage) and two Spencer uncles (by marriage, Fellowes and McCorqordale).

Answer 2

Biggest point - he might be Prince William of England but also of Scotland, Wales etc. It would be better to say British Prince. His cousins are the children of his aunt and uncles, just like a commoner.

So Uncle Andrew's two daughters, Beatrice & Eugenie; Uncle Edward's son and daughter, James & Louise and Aunt Anne's son and daughter, Peter & Zara. That makes 6 on his father's side. Don't know about his mother's brothers and sisters and their children.

Answer 3

If you're talking only about first cousins, he has 6 on his father's side and 12 on his mother's.



These 18 people are the offspring of William's 2 paternal uncles, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward; of his paternal aunt, Princess Anne; and of his maternal uncle, Earl Spencer, and his two maternal aunts, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Jane, Baroness Fellowes. Each of these people, with lists of their respective offspring, can be looked up on Wikipedia.



He has plenty of other cousins who are more distantly related to him. For example, the Duke of Kent, who is one of the Queen's first cousins, is William's first cousin twice removed.
