The Royal Family is on the mind of the British public right now, with the nation preparing for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on Monday, September 19.
King Charles III is the country’s new King, with him and Prime Minister Liz Truss travelling across the UK during the national period of mourning.
Every royal is coming together for this time of grief, but there are more members of the family that some realise.
In fact, some have spotted Sophie Winkleman , who plays Big Suze on Peep Show, at events, shocking fans of the cult classic Channel 4 comedy series.
The last thing viewers would expect is for her to be a royal, but the actress married into the family years ago.
