Ok, but you made a "loop" on my previous assert: It is most possible
that today Queens or King or simple nobles have some commoner ancestors
in there tree .... instead of the opposite!

It's not a *possibility*, is a quite frequent event.
So frequent in fact, that most lines, taken in one direction, peter-out
pretty quickly.
We *just* had an example posted where Queen Elizabeth herself has this
problem in a very short time period. She had commoner ancestors as well
as royal
ones. How do you explain this?
Choose any royal person you like and look at their ancestors 6
generations before. I'd say in the majority of cases, at least one was
a commoner. Or
at best, has a suspicious and probably spurious link backward.
