How many famous people are related to the Bush family? Well, as it turns out, many, and some of them aren’t just stars but royalties. When they looked at different genealogy charts, different experts concluded that Bush was the 11th cousin of beloved Princess Diana Spencer, twice removed.
What they discovered is that the two of them were linked to Bush’s 11th great-grandfather, a man named Thomas Mitchell, who was born many centuries ago, in 1566.
