Diana's mother's name was Francis Shand-Kydd. Camilla's birth family name was Shand. Are they related? Camilla and Charles are ninth cousins. Were Charles and Diana related -- something like 3rd or 4th cousins? Are Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip cousins?

Diana's mother divorced Diana'a father and married a South American man with the last name of Shand-Kydd. So if they were related, it was only by marriage through her mother.

She may be a very nice person and make Charles happy but his actions were spineless and then entirely selfish. If he loved Camilla that much he should have married her and not Diana. Like most Brits I couldnt have cared less if she had been married before. He used Diana to provide him with two sons and then fed her to the wolves. I hope he either dies before his mother does, or stands aside and lets William take the throne. Either works for me.

No, they are not related. Sorry, its just a weird occurrence and means nothing. Diana and Camilla's history has been gone over with a fine tooth comb and any "relationship" would have been tabloid fodder!
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth were 2nd cousins once removed (3rd cousins). Philips mother was "Princess Alice of Greece and Denmark" a 2nd cousin of Queen Elizabeth (she was German) despite being a Greek and Danish Princess! Princess Alice's father-in-law was King of Greece and a Prince of Denmark, and the Greeks were so impressed they asked him to take the job as their king.
Her Serene Highness Princess Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie of Battenberg was born in the Tapestry Room at Windsor Castle in Berkshire in the presence of her great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.
After she married Prince Andrew of Greece, she was known as Princess Andrew.
Later in life she became a Greek Orthodox Nun and did charity work.

TITLES

Her Royal Highness Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark (1903-1969)
PS There is no such thing as 9th cousins.

The Royal family is heavily in bred. The Czar was related to the King of England. They marry each other. That's why they look like people from the Ozarks who sleep with their sisters. This has been a habit for centuries because they want to hold power and control the Monarchy.

No,I hope not!!!! but...who knows... Many of the European Monarchs are distantly related in some way. I hate Camilla and Charles and I wish them the worst! They ruined Diana's Life, they can't be relatives!!

Yes! I believe somewhere along the Royal family tree in the distant past, there is a weak link.
As for the Queen and Prince Phillip, no.

I hope not, Diana was beautiful. Camilla looks like a grown up horse. And Charles need some bi-focals if he cheated on Diana with Camilla.

Probably they are related. And Diana and Charles were cousins to some degree.
