These young starlets might be acting royalty in the Hollywood community, but it actually runs pretty deep into the family, too! The Fanning girls are the 22nd great-granddaughters of King Edward III of England. According to the site Ancestry, this means they are distant relatives of the British Royal Family.

Interestingly, the same site has also claimed that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is related to King Edward III. This means that Middleton and the Fannings are 21st cousins – but who’s counting?
