Interesting. I always thought she was the most British American I've ever seen. Her way of being seem like her parents just stepped off an upperclass boatride across the water.

“Makes me feel stronger…”. The way she effortlessly gives weight to a succession of words. She has such a gift for reaching her viewers and leaving them with smiles on their faces. Love you, Glenn.

Genetics are truly insane. Not to say they could not look alike just by coincidence, BUT i have noticed on this show that some people will bear a certain resemblance to ancestors from literally 200 years ago!!! Tina Fey said when looking at her 5 or 6x time great grandfahter, "wow, that looks just like my dad!" etc.

She is my cousin also as I discovered through Genealogy. Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth are my cousins on my mom's side. I have many more.
Oh my good lord. Glen Close actually looks similar to Clint Eastwood when they smile.
I am also in this family tree according to Family Tree genealogy. Joseph Strong was my cousin along with Princess Diana on my mother's side and Queen Elizabeth on my father's side. and many presidents and so many other notable people. Elvis is my 7th cousin, George Harrison and John Lennon one on each side of my family, also Marilyn Monroe and my family came over on the Mayflower and also have very deep roots in England. There are 30 million people alive today and 20 million of them are in the United States who are descendants from the Mayflower. We all have famous relatives. Genealogy is so interesting 😊

I also have Marilyn Monroe, Diana, Queen Elizabeth, 3 US Presidents, Elvis and Helen Keller. I’m in South Africa.
Glenn looks great and it's so nice to see an older woman who hasn't messed her face up with surgery and Botox and fillers.Great actress.
This makes Glen and I related since I am related to Princess Diana as well! And I’m also related to Clint Eastwood!
Call me crazy but I see the resemblance
They really look similar!
Goodness I cannot imagine having so many children. But I'm glad she received such an interesting history. So many things she can now explore.

OMG you put the two of them facing each other and it is so very obvious that they are related, the princess and the queen of the screen. it's true, "breeding will out."
John Strong is also my 10th great grandfather. Depending if I did my research correctly.

Is Strong on Lady Di’s Father or Mother side?
I can see a resemblance with Glenn & Diana. Look back at the photo of when they met in England while Glenn was promoting a movie & she is in a reception line meeting the Princess. Their facial structure is remarkably similar. Their smiles. The hair cut too! Wow! Who would have thought years later Glenn would find out about actually being related! I think it’s cool.

“Religious severity”. A slap with a silk glove.
So basically this episode is about looking for... Close relatives.
I know I’m related to FDR on his mother’s side, I may be related to Glenn, also.
Despite their common ancestor being many generations back, I see the family resemblance in their profiles between her and Princess Diana.
Similar noses
I love this!! Diana is my Papaw 9th cousin.

Wow amazing I think I should check my ancestry roots. Maybe I related to Princess Diana in some strange reason. She’s so close to my heart..
Love Glenn Close.
The Puritans gave us all our troubles too. Their prejudices are still present in our biggest struggles today.
I don’t want to do my DNA. I’m scared something will show that I’m not related to both my sisters. That would be devastating.
Her name has been misspelled in the thumbnail as well as the video's description. ✔ She is *Glenn* Close... not Glen.
How can a family line produce such classic beauty as Glen and Diana.....how many more?
I’m related as well to both Glenn and Diana.
They look quite alike 💜💜

Well, I am glad to hear this because I am a distant cousin to Princess Diana.

I would like to take this test but I feel that being Colombian the most obvious thing is that I will have Spanish ancestors and I assume that not many Colombians have taken the test so my family history may be limited

Man I wish they would do a DNA trace for the host..
Wuauuuuu🥰
Um my great grandmothers maiden name was strong and we have known connections to princess Diana does this mean I’m also related to Glenn close
Glenn Close and Lady Diana have similar profiles. I can see where they have similar genes.
Her roots go to the very beginning ? You mean her ancestors came by the land connection, the Bering straight from Siberia to North America during the last ice age or whatever the theory is, thousands of years ago ?
Why not make a movie with your cousin Clint Eastwood?
