Man, they're 12th cousins, once removed...
Which, in any culture, is basically "no relation"....
The "cousins" angle is a bit misleading....

She is a commoner in that she is not landed gentry nor granted title. her family did NOT have right to bear arms. and so as such was a commoner.
If you want to go back far enough, you will find that so many people are related in one way or another. to suggest this is inbreeding is ludicrous.
I though we were about denying ignorance here,

Exactly you muppet. the house of Windsor were the Hannovarian dynasty, i.e. the Saxe-Koberg.
if you check you little daigram, you will see the very very VERY distant relation through the Spencer line.
Not to mention many branch of matriarchal lineage.
Genealogy is no your strong suit is it
ETA: you never know YOU could be a distant relation of a monarchy, does THAT make you nobility?

You've been watching too much David Icke!!
So which ever way you want to take it, it does not remove the fact thatSir Leighton was NOT of the royal bloodline, although titled. the title of nobility did not pass down the line.
In Williams case this lineage came through his mother. NOT the royal line.
Nobility has to be established in the preceding 4 generations of which on her side they are not.
If you want to be technical about it. The TRUE King currently lives in Australia. and is titled, by default. AN original Plantagenet. is he King? no!. Is he Nobility? yes. why? because the title was passed down.
That is why she is a commoner.
