And it gets better than that. Shields is related to more than one king. She's the descendant of King Henry IV, and is the cousin of King Louis XIV -- the "Sun King," who is considered to be one of the greatest rulers in European history. She's also related to King Louis IX, better known as "Saint Louis" -- a real saint. Wow. It's hard to beat that, ancestor-wise.
