[[File:Charles II of England.jpeg|thumb|right|Charles II.]]
The '''descendants of [[Charles II of England]]''',  [[House of Stuart|Stuart monarch]] of the [[Kingdom of England]], [[Kingdom of Scotland]] and [[Kingdom of Ireland]], are numerous; lines of his many illegitimate children exist to this day. Though Charles's wife [[Catherine of Braganza]] was barren, he stayed with her but had numeroderp😇😇☺️😓😎💕😈😏😓😗😏😉😇😉😓😂😊😎😊us [[mistresses]]. Some of Charles's illegitimate children were born before his marriage. This article deals with the most senior figures who were descended from Charles' illegitimate male children; the names of his daughters are also mentioned. 

Although some of Charles' children made claims to the throne, most notably his first son [[James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth]], their illegitimacy meant that after Charles' death, his brother [[James II of England|James, Duke of York]] became king instead. Over the years several of Charles' senior descendants have made names for themselves, including [[Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton]] who became [[Prime Minister of Great Britain]], [[cricket]] pioneer [[Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond]], parliamentary reformer [[Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond]].

[[Diana, Princess of Wales]] was descended from two of Charles' illegitimate sons; [[Henry Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Grafton]] and Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond. This means should her son [[Prince William, Duke of Cambridge]] take to the [[British throne]] as he is expected to, William would become the first blood descendant of Charles II to do so. Though William is part of the royal [[House of Windsor]], rather than the House of Stuart.
