Unlike many rumors that spread in the wake of the queen’s passing, the claim that Elizabeth II had ties to Muhammad is more than a simple hoax or misconception.
POUNDBURY, DORSET - OCTOBER 27: Queen Elizabeth II tours Queen Mother Square on October 27, 2016 in Poundbury, Dorset. Queen Elizabeth II died on Sept. 8, 2022, reigniting a long-standing rumor that the monarch had familial ties to the Prophet Muhammad, the founding figure of the Islamic faith:that spread in the wake of the queen's passing, the claim that Elizabeth II has ties to Muhammad is more than a simple hoax or misconception.
The idea that the British royals, vis-a-vis Queen Elizabeth II, are descendants of the Prophet Muhammad doesn't exactly have the murky origins of an unfounded, sketchy internet rumor. It is certainly plausible.that the revelation about her likely noble Islamic lineage came from a letter sent by Harold Brooks-Baker, genealogist and publishing director for Burke's Peerage, an authority on British royalty.
But the mystery deepened when we reached out to Burke's Peerage for comment on the matter. The organization told us that reports that Burke's was the original source of the claim are false.
