As are Bush Sr and Jr
This is a list of presidents of royal descent. Note that since all of these Presidents are related to English or Scottish monarchs, they are also all related to each other, though very distantly.
- George Washington (descendant of Edward III of England)
- Thomas Jefferson (descendant of Henry I of England)
- James Madison (descendant of Edward I of England)
- John Quincy Adams (descendant of Edward III of England)
- William Henry Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison (descendants of Edward I of England)
- Zachary Taylor (descendant of Edward I of England)
- Franklin Pierce (descendant of Henry I of England and William I of England)
- Rutherford Hayes (descendant of David I of Scotland)
- Grover Cleveland (descendant of Edward I of England)
- Theodore Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
- William Taft (descendant of Edward I of England)
- Warren Harding (descendant of Ethelred II of England)
- Calvin Coolidge (descendant of Henry II of England)
- Herbert Hoover (descendant of John of England)
- Franklin Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
- Richard Nixon (descendant of Edward I of England)
- Gerald Ford (descendant of Edward I of England)
- George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush (descendants of Edward I of England)
- Barack Obama (descendant of Edward I of England)
As a result, all but one (Thomas Jefferson) of the listed people are direct descendants of Alfred the Great. (All English Kings from Henry II on and all Scottish Kings from Edgar on are descended from Alfred.)
