Is Queen Elizabeth II Descended From The Prophet Muhammad?
— The New Arab Staff. Sept. 9, 2022.
“In 1986, a concerned letter was penned by a royal genealogist to then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, urging the British leader to better protect Queen Elizabeth II.
‘The royal family's direct descent from the Prophet Mohammed cannot be relied upon to protect the royal family forever from Moslem terrorists,’ wrote Harold Brooks-Baker of genealogical authority Burke’s Peerage.
‘It is little known by the British people that the blood of Mohammed flows in the veins of the queen. However, all Moslem religious leaders are proud of this fact,’ Brooks-Baker added.
Although the genealogist's worst fears did not come true, his letter likely popularised a rumour that has persisted — is Queen Elizabeth II a descendant of the Islamic prophet?
According to Brooks-Baker's theory, the late British monarch was linked to the Prophet Muhammad through the 14th century Earl of Cambridge, who had ancestry going back to medieval Muslim Spain. The link to Spain — 11th century Muslim Princess Zaida of Seville — is said to have converted to Christianity and become a concubine of King Alfonso VI of Castile.”
“In 1996, the grand mufti of Cyprus, shockingly, accused Charles III — the new British king — of secretly being a Muslim.
"Did you know that Prince Charles has converted to Islam. Yes, yes. He is a Muslim. I can't say more. But it happened in Turkey. Oh, yes, he converted all right,” the late Nazim Al-Haqqani said.
“When you get home check on how often he travels to Turkey. You'll find that your future king is a Muslim.”
Buckingham Palace simply replied: ‘Nonsense.’”
