James BluntJames Blunt - more than a bit poshIs there no end to James Blunt's list of posh credentials?

Now the Beautiful singer tells us that he's related to Danish royalty.

And don't think it ends there.
 
"I'm related to King Gorm the Old," he told The Sun, "and my ancestors left Denmark in 1066 to fight in the Battle of Hastings. Our family name was Blond."

So, it's possible that James' rellies appear on the Bayeux Tapestry.

How's that for a page in the family album?

It also turns out that Old Gorm's son Harald later ruled England.

'Bluetooth', as he was known to friends thanks to a penchant for blueberries, united the nation... 

And thus inspired the name of modern mobile technology (which 'unites' gadgets in case you didn't know).

We hope you're keeping up with the history lesson?

Old Harrow boy James certainly kept up family traditions by joining the Army before he conquered the charts.

Despite his award-winning success, the posh totty claims to be too poor to afford a house at the moment.

Regal ancestry, clipped vowels and penniless. That really is posh.
