Diana, Princess of Wales was a descendant of Muhammad

We have previously explored the family tree of Queen Elizabeth II and her relationship to the Prophet Muhammad. But what is less widely known is Princess Diana  (1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) was also descended from Muhammad.

 

Muhammad was Diana’s forty-three-times-great-grandfather! The probable family tree from the Prophet Muhammad to Diana, Princes of Wales is outlined below.
