Czar Harry?

The UK Mail quotes a former Kremlin diplomat who suggests that young Prince Harry could become the next Czar.

While there is currently no undisputed claimant to the defunct Romanov throne, Mr Baunov points out that Harry has plenty of royal Russian blood coursing through his veins.

He continued: 'His great great grandmother was the great duchess Olga Konstantinovna Romanov.

'Moreover, King George V [who ruled from 1910-36] was a cousin of our Tsar Nicholas II, so the British princes are his distant nephews.'

Olga, granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I and cousin of Tsar Alexander III, was Queen of Greece, and is the paternal grandmother of Prince Philip.

I was aware of the link, since they used his grandfather's DNA to identify the bodies of the late Czar and his family.

But, as the article notes, Prince Michael of Kent would probably be a better match: he even looks like the late Czar and has an interest in Russia.
