This is King James VI and I’s genetic heritage. I’ve managed to calculate his genetic heritage. It is not 100% accurate but I managed to fully calculate it. I had to use geni.com more than Wikipedia to find more of his ancestors, whether from the English side or the Scottish side. The English nobility are mostly Norman French with some English, while the Scottish nobility are mostly Scottish with some Norman French. A lot of the percentages of French, English and Scottish are approximate percentages at most, but for a lot of it I managed to find lots of specific ancestors up to the 7th to 8th centuries for this. King James is very British genetically as he had nearly 40% British from his father’s side of the family.

Three generations of Bourbons. On the left, you have Infante Francisco de Paula of Spain (youngest son of King Charles IV of Spain and Maria Luisa of Parma). In the middle, you have Francisco de Asis, Duke of Cadíz (son of Infante Francisco de Paula). On the right, you have Alfonso XII of Spain (son of Francisco de Asis, Duke of Cadíz). Despite rumors that Francisco de Asis wasn’t Alfonso XII’s father, I don’t think the rumors are true. Alfonso resembles his father’s side of the family so much, with so many shared features like the long Bourbon nose, the weak chin (and cleft), slightly curly hair, the lips and the entire facial framework is pretty much the same here (only Alfonso’s eyes resembles his mother Isabella II of Spain, the rest is pretty much Francisco-dominated). Alfonso resembles his paternal grandfather a lot here, you can see the same nose, same chin and same facial framework (except the eyes are different). Even though Francisco de Asis and his wife Queen Isabella II of Spain are double first cousins, their features are very different from each other. Isabella has more heavy robust features from her father Ferdinand VII and mother, and she doesn’t really have a prominent Bourbon nose plus she doesn’t have a structural chin like Alfonso. Francisco de Paula is basically the only child of Charles IV of Spain to have more refined and softer Bourbon features, and Francisco de Asis seems to inherit these features a lot, and Alfonso strongly inherits the more refined (softer) Bourbon features as can be seen above, which is the reason he is extremely good-looking. Francisco de Paula’s kids are also more good-looking compared to their paternal cousins apparently since they generally have more refined Bourbon features. Alfonso XII also strongly resembles his paternal uncle Infante Enrique, Duke of Seville, they have the exact same features including the chin and nose plus entire facial framework (except the eyes). It’s interesting to see the strong facial resemblances to the point that even later descendants like Juan Carlos I and Felipe VI still resemble their ancestors here, both possessing more refined Bourbon features compared to other children of Charles IV of Spain. I compared Alfonso XII’s facial features to his other cousins from other children of Charles IV, the undeniably strongest resemblance is to the family and children of Infante Francisco de Paula, with the same facial framework (weak chin, cleft on the chin, same cheekbones, long Bourbon nose, softer and more refined Bourbon features). The genes are indeed very strong. Juan Carlos looks exactly like Francisco de Paula while Felipe VI looks exactly like Alfonso XII.
