Rose Leslie

Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie doesn’t need to rely on her real-life husband Kit Harington to be part of the Royal Family. In fact, she has royal blood on both parts of her family tree. Her father is a chieftain of the Aberdeenshire clan, while her mother is a direct descendant of King Charles II!

Technically, this means that Rose and Kit are both descendants of the same person (King Charles II), making them distant cousins. How very Targaryen of them!
