In gathering material for his 1995 book Ancestors of American Presidents, Gary Boyd Roberts discovered that Bush is related to no fewer that 16 chief executives, including the three generally regarded as our greatest presidents - George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Bush's illustrious ancestry is not confined to presidents, for royal blood also courses through his veins. He is descended from three kings of England - Henry I, Henry II and Edward I - and two Scottish monarchs, Robert II and William I.
Given those regal connections, it should come as no surprise to learn that Bush is a distant cousin of both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana.

Bush is related to Edward the 1st.
Kerry on his mother's side is related to Queen Elizabeth.
By marriage, I'm related to one of the kings of England, too, mom's side.

depends how far you want to go back. If you go back far enough, we're probably all related to each other!
The Queen is of German decendancy (as are most brits), so if you go back far enough you'll probably find some link, since Bush is of English decendancy.

I don't think so, but even if he was, I'm sure she'd disown him.
