No, Princess Diana and Elvis Presley are not closely related, but genealogists have found they share very distant common ancestors, making them distant cousins (like 11th or 12th cousins) through various lines, connecting through British aristocracy and early American families, but this is a common outcome when tracing lineage far back in time.
