<h3 align="center"><i>Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal</i></h3>
Our favorite Hollywood siblings can trace their family's lineage back to royalty as descendants of Edward III, King of England from 1327 through 1377, making them the Queen's 19th cousins.
Behind Hilary Duff and Brooke Shields, these two have the most royal blood of any celebrity in America.

<h3 align="center"><i>Paris Hilton</i></h3>
Hilton may act like a princess, and maybe that's because she has a royal connection herself!
The socialite is the Queen's 20th cousin through Henry II on her father Richard Hilton's side of the family. That's hot.

<h3 align="center"><i>Céline Dion</i></h3>
Like Madonna, Dion is a ninth cousin once removed of Camilla Parker Bowles, making Dion and Madonna 10th cousins twice removed through Jean Guyon,
one of Quebec’s earliest settlers, and 10th cousins once removed through another ancestor, Zacharie Cloutier.

<h3 align="center"><i>Angelina Jolie</i></h3>
Jolie is descended from French royalty through her mother, Marie Betrand. We can trace her lineage all the way back to the 12th century French king, Phillip II, the son of Louis VII.
That makes Jolie also related to Marie of France, an influential French royal of the time and Phillip's half-sister. Plus, Jolie and Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II are 26th cousins.
She's pretty buddy-buddy with the Windsors now, too.

<h3 align="center"><i>Brad Pitt</i></h3>
Jolie's ex Brad Pitt has some royal lineage as well! Pitt's roots go back to the 12th century, with King Henry II of England, which makes him the Queen's 25th cousin, twice removed.
Henry II was the husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine, the first wife of Louis VII, Philip II's father. Pitt's ex, Angelina Jolie, is a descendant of Prince Philip II. Isn't it funny how things like that just happen?

<h3 align="center"><i>Dakota and Elle Fanning</i></h3>
Elle Fanning may have played Princess Aurora in Maleficent, but she and older sister, Dakota are actual princesses (kinda). They're the 22nd great-granddaughters of King Edward III, who ruled England from 1327 to 1377.
They're also are the 21st cousins of the Duchess of Cambridge, as Middleton’s mother, Carole Goldsmith, is a distant granddaughter of King Edward III.

<h3 align="center"><i>Michael Douglas</i></h3>
Michael Douglas comes from a famous family, but did you know he has royal blood? The Douglas family is actually related to King Edward III, making Michael the Queen's 19th cousin, once removed.

<h3 align="center"><i>Kit Harington</i></h3>
Kit Harington has something in common with his Game of Thrones character Jon Snow: they're both descended from royalty, though Harington's lineage doesn't make him a secret king.
(Spoiler alert!) Turns out, Harington is descended from Charles II of England through his grandmother, Lavender Cecilia Denny (quite possibly the most British name ever).
Denny married Richard Harington, who had the title of the 12th Baronet Harington, a title that has existed since the 1400s. “My parents didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up,”
Harrington told the London Evening Standard newspaper. “We were comfortable, but I didn’t go to Oxbridge, and yet every American interviewer I get says to me, ‘You’re related to Charles II! Your grandfather was a baronet!’”

<h3 align="center"><i>Bill Hader</i></h3>
Funnyman Hader is related to both King Edward I of England and Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne is his 40th great-great grandfather. Upon discovering this on an episode of the TV show Finding Your Roots,
Hader said "I mean, the conqueror of Europe? I couldn't even get the coffeemaker to work this morning."

<h3 align="center"><i>Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis</i></h3>
Okay, this one's a doozy. The man behind This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Might Wind, and For Your Consideration and his superstar actress wife are Hollywood legends,
but did you know that Guest not only holds duel-citizenship in England and the US, but is also a member of British nobility? Guest's formal title is 5th Baron Haden-Guest,
and at one point, his family had a seat in the House of Lords. That means Jamie Lee Curtis's full name is Jamie Lee Haden-Guest, Baroness Haden-Guest, and she is a baroness herself.
Note: while Guest is on this list of royalty, technically, he's not actually royalty, but part of the peerage. To be considered royalty, you must be related to the royal family somehow,
while peers are people who've had noble title bestowed upon them by royalty, but aren't royal themselves. To make it simple, Downton Abbey is about the peerage, The Crown is about royalty.

<h3 align="center"><i>Benedict Cumberbatch</i></h3>
A legendary actor in his own right, it's no surprise he comes from a royal lineage. Cumberbatch is a descendant of King Richard III of England.
Cumberbatch played his ancestor in a series for the BBC, and read a poem at the reburial of Richard III in Leicester Cathedral in 2015.

<h3 align="center"><i>Tom Hanks</i></h3>

<h3 align="center"><i>Alec Baldwin</i></h3>
The actor is a descendant of Æthelred the Unready, who was the King of England from 978 until his death in 1016, which also makes Baldwin Queen Elizabeth's 29th cousin, twice removed.

<h3 align="center"><i>Richard Gere</i></h3>
Richard Gere is more than just Hollywood royalty–he's also got a good deal of royal blood in him. The New York native is related to Queen Elizabeth as her 22nd cousin, twice removed, through Edward I.
