Technically, director Guy Richie was related to the Royal Family through marriage when he was wedded to his former wife, Madonna. However, the British filmmaker is sixth cousins to Kate Middleton the Duchess of Cambridge.

According to sources, they grew up together and shared quite the bond. He even attended the royal wedding in 2011 as a friend of the family. It would be great if Richie directed a royal biopic one day – maybe he can cameo as the royal cousin!
