A new family genealogy website has revealed the unlikely blood connections between some pretty famous people - including Prince and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.
As the Daily Mail reports, website Geni.com allows you to check your family tree of up to 5,000 blood relatives for $119.40 (£72) for a year’s membership.
Through using the website, it has been found that the Purple One Prince is a 20th cousin, three times removed, of the Yellow One Nick Clegg - connected through shared blood with John of Gaunt, Edward III’s son and a great powerbroker in 14th-century England. We'd love to be around that family gathering at Christma - maybe he calls him 'Darling Nikki?'
It also claims that professional 'socialite' and abysmal DJ Paris Hilton is an 11th cousin, four times removed, of The Queen. Not only that, but apparently PM David Cameron and Kim Kardashian share ancestor Sir Edward Mansel. We'd love to see Kanye visit No.10.
Any way - back to Prince. This week, he revealed details of not one, but two forthcoming albums. The first, Plectrum Electrum, has been in the pipeline since the start of the year when the singer held a press conference at Lianna La Havas' house and performed a series of guerilla-style surprise gigs in London.
Prince has now revealed that not only will Plectrum Electrum be out in September, but it will be released alongside another full-length album, Art Official Age - this one without the help of his band 3RDEYEGIRL.
The album will feature 13 songs, one of which, 'Breakdown', has already been revealed, and is available to pre-order already.
Both Plectrum Electrum and Art Official Age are set for release on 29 September.
