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:
“Life’s so short, Katie. You have to make every moment count. It’s not easy to do, you know. I don’t think that a day goes by when I don’t turn my back on some small thing or some issue somewhere. But it’s so short, Katie. If you’re not careful, the days go by and all you have time for is regret.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“If the issue doesn’t matter a whole lot, just drop it. You don’t have to win every fight ... and you will not have lost any of your authority by giving in when it doesn’t matter very much.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“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)
