Who was Thomas Leighton?

Sir Thomas Leighton was an English soldier and politician. He served as the Governor of Guernsey and Jersey from 1570 to 1609. He and his wife may also be common ancestors of the current Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, being possibly 12 great-grandparents of William, and possibly 11 of Kate, which would make them 12th cousins, once removed.
