IF like us, you’ve been obsessed with the recent Coronation, the pageantry, the theatrics and the centuries-old history, you found yourself wishing you could be there – at the heart of the action.

Watching on the streets of London is one thing, but one way to get your hands on a royal invitation is to be a royal yourself. 

While it’s too late for Charles’s Coronation, there’s plenty of time to discover whether you can get an invite to Williams’ bash at Westminster Abbey. 

Yes, it’s a stretch; we’ll grant you that, but have you ever looked into your family tree?

What if hiding, there were some royal connections hidden deep in your family tree that you didn’t know about?

Now’s the chance to find them out with Findmypast, a UK-based online genealogy service.

With access to billions of records, Findmypast connects people to their family stories, finds the origin of your surname, and now you can use it to trace your potential royal roots and connections to King Charles.
