Notes & Asides

Dear Mr. Buckley:

Mr. Bruce Allerdice’s celebration (“Notes & Asides,” April 6) of the vindication of your statement that Prince Charles is “the descendant of Henry VIII” is, I’m afraid, somewhat premature. He offers as fact a speculative theory by Anthony Hoskins in the March 1997 Genealogist magazine (“Mary Boleyn’s Carey Children: Offspring of King Henry VIII?”).
