Yes, according to the genealogy series \u201cFinding Your Roots,\u201d Better Call Saul actor Bob Odenkirk is indeed related to the newly crowned King Charles III. They are discovered to be eleventh cousins, connected through Odenkirk\u2019s fifth great-grandfather, Friedrich Carl Steinholz, born in Pl\u00f6n, Germany, in 1755. Steinholz\u2019s mother, Maria Catharina Bein, conceived him out of wedlock with the Duke of Pl\u00f6n, who had connections to the royal families of Europe.<\/p>\n
While the relation is distant enough that Odenkirk won\u2019t be attending any royal events, he confirmed his American identity and distanced himself from any monarchist sentiments. Despite the interesting genealogical connection, Odenkirk expressed his preference for democracy, stating that society has \u201cgotten to a better place\u201d with democratic systems. However, he humorously mentioned that exposure to royal life might make him reconsider his monarchy beliefs.<\/p>\n
This discovery on \u201cFinding Your Roots\u201d adds Odenkirk to the list of celebrities, including Michael Strahan, who have found connections to monarchs through their ancestry, blurring the lines between Hollywood royalty and actual royalty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
