I saw that today is the birthday of Queen Victoria. Born in 1819, I think it was.
I am descended from Edward I and so was she, and so is the current queen, of course. Elizabeth II, in fact, is my 22nd cousin. We both have Edward I and Eleanor of Castille as 21st-great-grandparents.
That would make Queen Victoria, who is QEII's great-great-grandmother, something like my 17th cousin removed five times.
Happy birthday, Cuz.
