Richard III Decendant

Jim Davis and Jo Hayward

Available for over a year

When experts were carrying out DNA tests to confirm whether the bones found in a Leicester Car Park were in fact Richard the Third they used samples from his living descendents in the hope of finding a match. One of those samples belonged to Michael Ibsen - who we have spoken to several times on BBC Radio Leicester. The other test was taken by a woman - whose identity WASN'T revealed. Until now! She is Wendy Duldig, an Australian, now living in London. She's been telling our reporter Bridget Blair just how she felt to discover she was related to a King of England!
