You think you are being funny about my name, Herr Schutzstaffel: but, in fact, Louis B Mayer, despite difference in spelling the Californian branch of my family uses, was my first cousin twice removed, i.e. my paternal grandfather's first cousin. So, as Private Eye wouldn't say ~~ Yes relation.
I am not an out-and-out royalist BTW, e.g. I think HM's sister Margaret was a snobbish spiteful obnoxious person. But I am a great believer in the principles of "Ain't broke, don't fix"; "Baby'n'bathwater"; Unintended Consequences...
