Celebrities you didn’t know were royal

Beyoncé

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 25^th 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 24^th great-grandfather.
