Question
hi, after a discussion at work, could you help me please, a work pal says the Queen Victoria and Alexander Fleming - who developed Penicilin -- were related
could you say if this is true or not,???
and if true how where they related, ???
please kindess regards carol
Hello Carol.
I've never heard of any family connection between Queen Victoria and Alexander Fleming. It's feasible that if you could trace both their family trees back far enough you would find a link, but the same could be said of almost anyone. On the whole the link, if there is one, would be extremely distant.

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
