I'm a descendant of a cousin of Lady Jane Grey (Queen of England for 9 days then beheaded in 1554). Therefore I'm probably about 40,000th in line for the throne!
A few years ago I was working in Switzerland and showed a scruffy old guy with a beard how to work a coffee machine. Found out afterwards he was Harrison Ford.
