Author Digs Into Scandalous Royal Connection Kept Secret by Shuswap Grandmother

Jeremy Edwardson says DNA tests and historical records support a family tale that a hidden royal sibling was concealed to protect the monarchy.

  • Jeremy Edwardson released his novel detailing his family's claim that Ann Thomas was the hidden sister of Queen Victoria, blending 19th-century history with a genetic thread linking his family to the British Crown.
  • According to family lore, Thomas was smuggled to Wales to protect the monarchy from a 19th-century scandal involving a radical reformer and a duchess, concealing her existence to safeguard the Government of England.
  • Edwardson based his narrative on oral histories from his grandmother Joyce Hearn and great-grandmother Evelyn Codd, alongside DNA tests that revealed matches official records denied, fueling his year-long search.
  • During his investigation, Edwardson encountered fear from his 91-year-old grandmother Joyce, who warned him, "What you are doing is dangerous," claiming her life had been threatened.
  • Now self-published and available at Amazon Canada, the story explores the lives of two women subjected to the power of the Freemasons, positioning the secret as a truth that could have rocked the 19th-century British monarchy.
