According to genealogists working with a documentary team from Britain's Channel Four, Australian forklift operator Mike Hastings is the rightful heir to the British throne.

The documentary's historian found documents in Rouen Cathedral he believes show that Edward IV was illegitimate because when he was conceived his parents were 124 miles apart. If true, the claim means the crown should have passed on to Richard's second son George, Hastings' direct ancestor.
