The Republican George W Bush will be elected US president on November 7 because he has more royal blood than his opponent, it was claimed today.

The Texas governor has twice as many ties with aristocrats than his Democrat rival Al Gore, according to Burke's Peerage.

The company, which publishes books on ancestry, aristocracy and history, has predicted the outcome of the presidential race for almost 200 years. It says the candidate with the most royal blood has always been the victor.

Mr Bush has direct descents from William the Conqueror, Henry II and Charles II, according to Burke's Peerage.
