It has been revealed by British genealogists that the 85-year old monarch and the Hollywood heartthrob are 20th cousins. However, the claim relies heavily on an undocumented but well known marriage between Yorkshireman Richard Denton and Helen Windebank in the 1600s and so cannot be verified 100 per cent.
