Her Majesty The Queen, (Queen Elizabeth II) is my 18th cousin. I sent her a letter through "snail mail" back in 2013 to tell her that I had found the connection and to congratulate her on the birth of her great grandson, George.
I received a letter back from Buckingham Palace, which I must say surprised me!
In the letter, (which came from the Buckingham Palace Deputy Correspondents Coordinator) it said that the Queen gets a great number of letters like that and was not surprised about the connection. It said, "When researched back far enough, the number of people very distantly related to the British Royal Family (or indeed to any other family) will always be very substantial. Now I have to say, that I did not think I would even get a repose at all from the letter, but at least I know the letter got to Buckingham Palace.
@Queen Elizabeth II is my 12th cousin once removed!

I thought I'd check with a famous person alive today. Surely I wouldn't be connected to the Queen, right? I got 18th cousin 2x removed. We share one of my noble ancestors... who is my 17th great grandfather. Is it just that if you go 300 years back we're all connected? Hmm...
