Queen's DNA demanded in 'biggest royal scandal'

An elderly man who bears a striking resemblance to the Queen's uncle and former monarch, Edward VIII, is demanding that members of the royal family undergo DNA testing in order to prove his royal ancestry or face being sued.

Francois Graftieaux, 73, claims that he is the grandson of Edward VIII - as he says that his father, Pierre-Edouard, was born due to an illicit affair between his grandmother Marie-Leonie and the royal.

Scandal surrounded Edward VIII when he abdicated from the throne in order to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson. However, if François Graftieaux's claims are to be believed, his actions could cause even more trouble for the Windsors.

Even if it were proved that François, who is now based in Portugal, is the grandson of Edward, he would have no claim to the throne as any of the Duke of Windsor's descendants lost their birth-right when he abdicated.
