Minor royal by day, Russian hologram science officer at night

In the autumn, the royal family will get a new addition when Lord Frederick Windsor marries actress Sophie Winkleman. But Sophie isn't just any future minor royal. Not only has she played a scheming princess and appeared in a risque love scene, she now has a guest starring role as a hologram with an H on her forehead in the spaceship adventure Red Dwarf: Back to Earth. What other Royal house can say they have a resurrected Russian hologram science officer in their family tree?

And people thought Lord Freddy's mother, Princess Michael of Kent was a controversial addition to the family.
