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.
