How is Winston Churchill related to Princess Diana?
Princess Diana was related to a lot of prominent people in history.
However, looking at the Spencer family tree, the Princess was also related to Winston Churchill.
The former Prime minister and the late princess were distant cousins and shared some relatives.
The two were allegedly related to a man named Charles Spencer (1675-1722), who was the third Earl of Sunderland and his wife, Lady Anne Spencer, whose maiden name was Churchill.
The couple were Winston Churchill’s great-great-great-great-great-grandparents and Princess Diana’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents.
Who Did Winston Churchill marry?
Winston Churchill met his wife-to-be, Clementine Ogilvy Hozier, in 1904 at a ball in Crewe House.
In 1908, they met again at a dinner party hosted by Lady St Helier, who was a distant relative of Clementine’s.
After five months of meeting each other at social events, as well as frequent correspondence, Winston proposed to Clementine during a house party at Blenheim Place in August 1908.
The couple married on September, 12, 1908 and went on to have five children together.
