Brooke Shields’ family photos were shown during her appearance on Who Do You Think You Are? – a US show where celebrities trace their family tree.
Shields, 44, looked shocked as she discovered a great uncle had drowned at just 13 and that her grandmother had been just 10 when her great-grandmother died.
“Loss after loss after loss. It takes a toll on your soul,” she said.
“I don’t think she could have coped with all these wounds one after another.”
But the Lipstick Jungle star also found out that she is directly related to King Henry IV and that Louis XIV is her first cousin, many generations removed.
