Angelina Jolie
In 2014, Queen Elizabeth officially distinguished actress Angelina Jolie for her work at the United Nations. Angelina was named honorary lady. Although that day was all about the ceremony, it was actually also a family visit. Angelina Jolie and Queen Elizabeth are both relatives of the French King Philip II. This makes the ladies cousins of each other in the 26th degree.
Brad Pitt
The ex-husband of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, is also a distant relative of the British royals. Brad Pitt would be a cousin of Queen Elizabeth in the 25th degree. Moreover, Brad Pitt is also a distant relative of Barack Obama. Brad and Barack both have the same ancestor from Virginia, making them nephews of each other in the ninth grade.
Madonna
Madonna is distant family of Camilla, the duchess of Cornwall. Prince Charles and Madonna’s wife have the same Canadian ancestors. This makes the ladies distant cousins.
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie
The King of the North in Game of Thrones is also a royal in real life. Well, almost. The actor’s grandfather was a baronet who descended from Charles II. Kit Harington’s wife, Rose Leslie, is also a descendant of Charles II. This makes Rose a distant cousin of the British royal family and her husband.
