Baby Archie became the seventh in line to the throne when he was born this week but he is in fact the second royal of mixed race behind the children of Lady Davina Windsor and Gary Lewis. Davina is the daughter of the Her Majesty’s first cousin Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
Davina shares two children with her now ex-husband who is of New Zealand Maori descent.
Her wedding to Mr Lewis made history asher then husband became the first known person of Maori heritage to marry into the Royal Family.
The couple went on to have two children, Senna Kowhai in 2010 and Tane Mahuta in 2012 before their eventual divorce last year.
Senna and Tane are currently 32nd and 33rd in line to the throne behind their mother who is 31st.
