DNA test proves real father of Archbishop of Canterbury was Churchill's Secretary

In what has turned out to be a shocking development, the result of a DNA test recently carried out reveals the true identity of the father of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Describing it as a complete surprise the Most Reverend Justin Welby, 60, said it is shocking to discovered he is the son of Sir Winston Churchill’s last private secretary, the late Sir Anthony Montague Browne.

Untill now, Most Reverend Justin Welby had believed his father was whisky salesman Gavin Welby, who died in 1977.

Confirming the development, Reverend Justin’s mother , Lady Williams of Elvel, confirmed she had a “liaison” with Sir Anthony just before she wed in 1955.

She said the news had come as an “almost unbelievable shock”, and although her memory of the time was patchy, she recalled sleeping with former colleague Sir Anthony after “a large amount of alcohol on both sides”.
