I'm related to the royal family as well. I'm a direct descendant of King Alfred the Great. I am also a Spencer descendant. Princess Diana was my first cousin 13 times removed which makes Harry and William my cousins through both their parents.

Another famous one is Cristiano Ronaldo. He descends from a scottish noble family (Drummond), and through that family he goes all the way to William the Conqueror and other english and scottish kings. Cristiano Ronaldo is from the island of Madeira in Portugal, and one of the first settlers of the island was John Drummond. Since Madeira is quite a small island, basically everyone who is from there is a descendant of him. So in theory, Cristiano Ronaldo is also a descendant of him. Last year, this assumption was confirmed, due to a genealogic investigation done by some respected professionals of the area, who ended up finding John Drummond on his family tree, just as was expected.

Apparently Vlad the Impaler is Queen Elizabeth the II's 15x great grand uncle. I guess while she sips on tea, her many times great grand uncle supposedly ate bread dipped in blood

We all are related in some way, yes, but how close or distantly you relate to someone is how I measure how awesome it is

Most people can be related to royalty, especially when its 400 or so years ago there would be 16 generations between the king and the people today.. which means there would be thousands of people
