I think we would be moving this discussion sideways here by bringing in American film stars. Most or many of them have such a mixed racial ancestry they are bound to look different. Even two races can look spectacular, especially mixed colour,
Halle Berry, Naomi Campbell, Neneh Cherry, Norah Jones, Whitney Houston, Muhammed Ali (part Irish!)
Or white but racially mixed, Joni Mitchell, an extraordinary looking lady, part Sami, as is Renee Zellwegger.
However! the vogue for (rich) American heiresses, the Buccaneers, marrying
British aristocracy did nothing to improve the physical beauty of their descendants.
The beautiful, vivacious Jenny Jerome married stuffy round cheeked Randolph and begat a British Bulldog,
Nancy Astor was a striking looking lady who gave the handsome Lord Astor 5 children, none of whom would pass the MN litmus test.
Hundreds ! of rich American ladies married into the British aristocracy. I’m not sure where this places my argument, probably that, as already been stated many times here, the inbred genes must be dominant for the influx of New World breeding
to be so subsumed.
Diana’s great grandmother was American. In this instance, she did good.
Do aristocrats know they are inbred? Many of them are certainly eccentric, possibly bonkers.
The men are often tall, gangly, etiolated, will marry small petite, pretty women,
produce massive sons and dainty daughters.
Of course they intermarry, these are the upper eschelons of society, intermingle,
interact.
We have the example of Anne, APB, Camilla, Charles to see how that works.
Photographs of a young Philip show a very attractive man, be he Dane or Greek,
of good looking parents, although only Edward favours him, physically.
Goodness knows where they found Charles, considered attractive in his youth. Anne is Hapsburg, with Mark Phillips produced two very good looking children. Andrew is neither.
The dumpy QM also had a question mark over parentage. Her two daughters were petite, pretty girls and women. Thank goodness for Philip, Diana and Catherine.
