H.H. Asquith is Helena Bonham Carter’s great-grandfather.
Helena Bonham Carter is best known for her off-the-beaten-path roles, like that of Mrs. Lovett in Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. But she comes from illustrious family background. Herbert Henry Asquith, the Prime Minister of the UK from 1908 to 1916, was her paternal great-grandfather. She is also related to Jane Austen, and subsequently to Anna Chancellor.
Personally, I am related to Julius Caesar, Ghandi and Mozart.
I’m probably at worst a 25th cousin of every celeb on this list. (I think I actually am a ninth or tenth cousin of the late Princess Diana.)
We’re both descended ffom William I.
