Princess Kate’s Ancestry – Are you a cousin too?

A new book is out on the subject of Princess Kate. While this book does not contain any of the usual gossip, it is interesting in its own way: The Ancestry of Catherine Middleton describes the Princess’ family tree in great detail.

Were you one of the unfortunate few who did not receive an invitation to the royal wedding?  Fear not!  You may just be a cousin of Princess Kate, and thus entitled to visiting privileges at Buckingham Palace on a regular basis!

Kate has been found to be related to many famous people, and you never know, there just might be royal blood in your family tree!

Here are some tidbits you don’t want to miss:

Ellen DeGeneres and Kate are 14th cousins twice removed.

The truly romantic family tie:  Princess Kate and Prince William are actually 14th cousins one removed!
