Before she left the airwaves after a series of controversies, DeGeneres filled in fans on her connection to Kate.

Apparently she received a letter from the New England Genealogical Society. The letter indicated that the group was “working to trace Kate Middleton’s ancestry.”

According to The List, DeGeneres read part of the letter on the air: “As we were doing the research, we discovered that you’re related to Kate via a man named Sir Thomas Fairfax and his wife, Agnes Gascoigne. You are distant cousins. You’re 15th, but cousins still the same.'”

Royal Family News – Why Is Kate Middleton In The Hospital?

Last week the palace announced that Kate was in the hospital following an “abdominal surgery.” No other details were given except that she would remain there for 10-14 days.

It was also reported that the mother of three will not return to public engagements until the springtime. The same day it was reported that King Charles will soon have prostate surgery.

The news was concerning for royal fans, especially given the fact that two senior royals will be out of commission due to health issues.

Kate was last seen in public on Christmas day when she attended a church service with her family.
