#35: Prestigious Genes
Even though it is customary for all members of the British royal family to have English roots, there are some people that have connections to many parts of the world, not just England. And the Duchess of Cambridge is one of those people…
The Duchess of Cambridge is actually a distant relative of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America. They are eight cousins, eight times removed. And as it turns out, Kate’s ancestry can be traced back to her b=hisbands, William. The married couple is 15th cousins, making the Duchess far less common than we thought.
