    In the UK, a small island nation, here is virtually everyone is related to everyone else, unles They Are recent immigrants. Middleton can-trace her ancestry back to King Edward III, who had a lot of children and grandchildren. William, too, of course, is a descendant of Edward III. I can not tell you how many British People Can Make That claim. However, the specific “cousin” ship claim to Which You Are referencing involves Sir Thomas Leighton, who married Elizabeth Knollys, a granddaughter of Mary Boleyn (sister of the notorious Anne). See the sites below:

    Yes They Are, and it’s not at all surprise. Think about it this way – you have 2 parents, 4 grand parents, 8 great-grand parents, and if you keep doubling up it’s not long – about 700 years or so – before the number of your Ancestors alive at the time Becomes Bigger Than the Entire British population. Just about everytime white British person HAS at least one “royal” In Their Family Tree, and The Same goes for Americans who come from British families. It’s just a matter of beingable to prove it. It just so happens That Prince William and Kate Middleton CAN prove it.

    Almost everyone in the UK is distantly related.

    They certainly are 15th cousins, but They May Be 12th cousins ??once removed. Technically the Latter relationship is unproven, but many news articles have Declared it a fact. The common ancestor is a little more interesting since he was a despot. The relationship is not surprise. Prince William’s 7th cousins ??With His father’s second wife, Camille. He is more Closely related to her Than Prince Charles. Prince Charles and Barack Obama are 17th cousins. While France had a population of 5 million in 50 BC, Britain did not reach 5 million “Until the late 17th century. In the present day France and Britain have similar Populations. However, since Britain Came from a much smaller stock more They Are Closely related. In reality it is statistically Nearly impossible to be English and not be descended from a medieval monarch (William the Conqueror through Richard III). However, many people do not have the documentation to Prove this relationship. Although Edward III Sometimes called the father of the British upper class, May he have as many as 100 million descendants. It’s just thats the upper class knows Their bloodline. Not only is Prince William descended from William the Conqueror, but we know or 2. 3 million differential bloodlines leading from William I to the present day William That are from 26 to 41 generations. The British have spread Their bloodline throughout much of North America and the world. Probably the European ethnic group with more descendants Would be the Spanish who had children with a large number of the indigenous group, then Wiped out the natives must or with a combination of disease, slavery, and general destruction.
