Dakota Fanning and the Duchess of Cambridge

With the invention of genetics and ancestry software, you realize you could be related to literally anyone. This was the case for Twilight actress Dakota Fanning when she found out that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was her cousin.

The two are both distant relatives of King Edward I, which makes Dakota related to both historical and modern day royalty. Interestingly, Kate Middleton appeared to already have royal heritage before she married Prince William.
