The current second in line to the throne of the United Kingdom, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is descended from Marie through his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales's, descent from four illegitimate children of King Charles II of England and an illegitimate daughter of King James II of England. Both Charles II and James II were grandsons of Marie de Medici by her daughter Henrietta Maria. Through the marriage of her granddaughter Princess Henrietta Anne of England to her other grandson Phillipe Duc d'Orleans, Marie de Medici is the ancestress of most of the crowned and deposed royalty in Europe today. Princess Michael of Kent, born Baroness Marie Christine, is also a descendant by Marie's daughter, Christine. See also Descendants of Marie de' Medici which maps how the Medici became part of the European Royal families.
