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.

Famous quotes containing the word issue:
“For Banquo’s issue have I filed my mind;
For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered;
Put rancors in the vessel of my peace
Only for them; and mine eternal jewel
Given to the common enemy of man,
To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The issue is privacy. Why is the decision by a woman to sleep with a man she has just met in a bar a private one, and the decision to sleep with the same man for $100 subject to criminal penalties?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Your child...may not call you or other people names.... Don’t be tempted to gloss over this issue. You may be able to talk to yourself into not minding being called names, but this decision may come back to haunt you in later years. If you let a preschooler speak disrespectfully to you now, you’ll have a much harder time of it when your child is a preteen and the issue resurfaces, which it is likely to do then.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
