Prince Michael of Kent is the Queens’s first cousin and his grandfather King George V was the first cousin of Tsar Nicholas.

Prince Michael is not on the Civil List, ie he receives no public funding and, after after an army career, has developed various business interests including a number in Russia.
He speaks fluent Russian and apparently has something of a following over there because of his resemblance to the Tsar.
