It's a trait that the royals are notorious for, and it's not something that people are too proud of in this day and age.

It has been revealed that, just like Harry & Meghan, Princess Eugenie and her new fiance are related.

Now, when everyone said that Harry and Meghan were related, it was quite a stretch considering you had to go all the way back to the 15th century to find the connection.

Eugenie & Jack are a little more closely related though, third cousins once removed to be precise.

If you want to find their connection, you only have to look back to the 19th century.

The common connection is an aristocrat by the name Thomas William Coke, the 2nd Earl of Leicester.

Coke is Eugenie's great-grandfather on her mother's side, and is also Jack's great-grandfather via his second marriage.
