The world of celebrities and public figures often seems like a small one.
Marriages connect famous families, sometimes in ironic and not so obvious ways.
Lisa Marie Presley’s heartbreaking deathoccurred in January 2023.
She is survived by daughters Riley Keough and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood.
The twins were born during Presley’s marriage to musician Michael Lockwood.
The couple divorced in 2016.
However, this marriage gave Presley a link to the British royal family, albeit one riddled with rumors.
According to theExpress, Lockwood’s great-great-great-great-great grandfather was Henry Lockwood.
Henry’s brother Ephraim Lockwood is the great-grandfather of Colonel William P. Thompson.
Prince George’s older brothers were King Edward VIII and King George VI.
Upon the death of King George VI, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, took the throne.
Her death in 2022 marked the beginning of her son’s reign as King Charles III.
All of this makes Presley a possible distant cousin to King Charles III.
While living with Lockwood in England, she became close friends with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Ferguson is the ex-wife of King Charles III’scontroversial brother Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
Her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are cousins of Prince William and Prince Harry.
She also extended her support to Presley’s family.
“We march forward in support of you,” Ferguson added (perEntertainment Tonight).
“All of us are with you.”
