DNA and the Peerage

The Special Correspondent has sent me the link to the following and very interesting article from The Tatler about the implications for Peerage inheritance cases of a decision by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council concerning the admissability of DNA evidence to establish paternity. It can be read  here

Amongst the cases it discusses is the Russell of Ampthill one from the inter-war period about which I read an account many years ago.
