Here's an extract:
"AP - Experts say the odds are virtually 100 per cent that every person on Earth is descended from one royal personage or another.
Actress Brooke Shields, for example, has a pretty impressive pedigree - with links to Catherine de Medici and Lucrezia Borgia, Charlemagne and El Cid, William the Conqueror and King Harold, vanquished by William at the Battle of Hastings.
Shields also descends from five popes, many early New England settlers, and the royal houses of virtually every European country. She counts renaissance pundit Niccolo Machiavelli and conquistador Hernando Cortes as ancestors."
