Everybody refers to Beyoncé Carter Knowles as the Queen B. And she is actually a relation of The Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. Her royal roots can be traced through Louisiana, Acadia right back to the French.

This makes her the 25th cousin to the English royalty, once removed. Per FindMyPast.com, Beyoncé and Queen Elizabeth have one ancestor in common, King Henry II, believed to be the Queen’s 24th great-grandfather.
