No, he was not.
His mother, Jennie Jerome, American born and a famous beauty was a political mover and shaker as well as huge favorite of the Prince of Wales. She was married to Randolph Churchill who later became Prime Minister and who died in his late 40's of syphilis.
She gave birth to Winston in a guest room at his parents, The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough's estate. They claimed he was premature as he was born 7 and a half months after the wedding. For a preemie he was rather robust at over 8 pounds,

You can read the book "Jennie" Volume one for more info.
She was fascinating!! :victory: :victory:
