Some of Meghan Markle's distant family members were shocked to learn of their relation to the Duchess of Sussex.

Inside Edition spoke to Markle's cousins on her mother's side, the Raglands, from Georgia. 

"You all found out — just before the wedding?" asked Inside Edition Senior Correspondent Les Trent.

"Yes," they said.

They watched the wedding together and hope to one day welcome Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, to Georgia. 

"We would love to have you at our reunion ... and Harry — and the queen!" one relative said. 

Tune in to Inside Edition Wednesday to learn more about Meghan's connection to famous sports heroes.
