Queen Elizabeth II and Johnny Depp

We are big fans of Johnny Depp and know quite a lot about the A-list star. He was the storied Willy Wonka, Captain Sparrow, and the adored Scissorhands in some of our favorite movies. We also know that Depp earned a total of $75 million in 2011, making him the highest-paid actor in the Guinness Book of World Records. His most financially successful film, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” helped him make that significant sum of money.

But his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II is another intriguing detail that few people are aware of. They are both twentieth cousins and descend from King Edward III, often known as Edward of Windsor.
