The Royal Family is Hiding This DNA Test

In the summer of 1483, two young boys walked into the Tower of London and were never seen again. Edward V was twelve. His brother Richard was nine. For 543 years, nobody has been able to prove what happened to them (or who was responsible). But here's what most people don't know. In 2018, scientists identified the exact DNA profile needed to test the bones believed to be the princes, currently sitting in a marble urn inside Westminster Abbey. The methodology is proven; it's the same team and technique that identified Richard III from beneath a Leicester car park. The comparison sample is ready. The researchers are willing. The only thing missing is permission from the Crown. In this video we go through the full story. The disappearance, the three suspects, the catastrophic 1933 bone examination, and the explosive scientific findings that could not only identify the princes but potentially rewrite the legitimacy of the entire Yorkist claim to the English throne.
