William and Kate - Cousins

Artwork: Gregory Chapin Joens

I once heard that nearly 75% of the population of England is related to the royal family. According to the connections I've searched on Geni.com, I am a 13th cousin of Prince William and a 15th cousin of Kate (through my Chapin line). Normally, I don't tend to follow royal weddings, but the cousin connection made it easier for me to find the time to read about and watch the celebration.
