This is just like The Princess Diaries!
…except Hilary Duff is already rich. Ha!
According to FindMyPast.com, the bubbly blonde is 18th cousins with Queen Elizabeth II!!
Bloody fascinating!
Genealogist Josh Taylor says of the royal find:
“Both trace their ancestry back to Edward III, a king with many children who died in 1377.”
And GUESS WHAT!! She ain’t the only one!! Nope!!
Apparently Hollywood king and queen Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don’t even have to get married! They’re already related! …kinda-sorta.
Cuz they, along with Jake Gyllenhaal, Ellen DeGeneres, and Beyoncé, also share descent with Queenie through English and French kings.
OoOohh! All this European heritage talk has us wanting to watch The Tudors! And not just for Jonathan Rhys Meyers‘ face!
