King jaypeabey
My wife has a distant rello ...

Given a few King Ralph moments I could be the next in line for the throne of some far away land.

EDIT: Had the inlaws over this afternoon, so took the opportunity to ask some questions.

The "distant rello" is my mother-in-law's cousin. Met some prince while on holiday, married him, had a daughter. He's from Austria, not Africa.

Doesn't look like he's in line for any throne though.

Here's his Dad's Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_von_Hohenberg

And here' m-i-l-c's entry in some peerage reference: www.thepeerage.com/p3941.htm#i39407

Apparently, they're now divorced or separated or something, so it's even less likely I'm going to end up king. Even if he did have a claim to the throne and a dodgy photographer.

My apologies to all those who sucked up looking for future favours, er, voted for me.

On the upside, his granddad was Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who not only has a decent band named after him, but whose asassination just happened to start a little tiff known as World War One. So, that's nice then.
