NEW YORK -- Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is distantly related to the late Princess Diana and late U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, genealogy experts said on Wednesday.

The Governor of all our hearts (to (mis)quote Princess Di).  :-)

Di was an idiot (GRHS).  A stupid and vain woman.  Her death changes those not a whit.

I am not sure Palin wants to be associated with her.

10th cousin is almost as distantly related as someone can be and still be part of the same species, so that's not like they grew up together
