EDITORS PLEASE NOTE - CONTAINS MILD NUDITY<br/> <br />Twenty two-year old Katrina Darling is on her way to work.<br/> <br />The England native is firing up the crowd at New York's "Demi Monde" with her burlesque show titled 'God Save The Queen.'<br/> <br />But off stage, the dark haired beauty has real royal ties - she is a distant cousin of Kate Middleton, future queen of the U.K.<br/> <br />It was April last year when Darling got a phone call from a reporter who told her about her royal connection.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: KATRINA DARLING, KATE MIDDLETON'S DISTANT COUSIN, SAYING (English)<br/> <br />"It was pretty crazy because it was April Fool's Day so I was like, 'no, this is like not happening at all.' But I called my mother and she was like, 'yeah, I didn't want to get in touch because obviously you were doing your show and things, but some reporters came around asking."<br/> <br />Recently the brunette bared it all in Playboy's September issue.<br/> <br />And while already a professional model and dancer, Darling says she is still exploring her future options.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: KATRINA DARLING, KATE MIDDLETON'S DISTANT COUSIN, SAYING (English)<br/> <br />"I am 22, so I guess I'm just going to continue to stick my fingers in pies and see which ones taste good I suppose."<br/> <br />In the meantime she is raising money with her show for Amnesty International to support the jailed Russian rock band Pussy Riot.
