According to a documentary on YouTube, she supposedly has 700 years of "royal ancestry". Is this true? I know that she was born to nobility, and therefore must have some royal ancestry. Who are her nearest sovereign ancestors anywhere?
I think that the most recent royal sovereign ancestor is King Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia (1666-1732), through his illegitimate daughter Maria Vittoria who married VA's cousin, the Prince of Carignano.
It does depend on how one defines "sovereign". Marie Christine is descended from numerous princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
