From Hollywood.com:

His autobiography, "Royalty" (1997), revealed the results of more than 15 years of research into his lineage, perhaps explaining the regal bearing he brings to his roles. Not only is he the Crown Prince of the Royal Bell family of the Doualla region of West Africa's Cameroon, he also uncovered proof that he is the great-great-great-grandson of Britain's Queen Victoria. According to Kotto, the queen's son Prince Albert Edward VII had an illicit affair with Princess Nakande, daughter of King Doualla Manga Bell, producing the light-skinned Alexander Bell, Kotto's great-grandfather, but the deputy press secretary to Queen Elizabeth categorically refuted the story claiming, " . . . Edward VII never visited Cameroon."

I know this isn't quite as looney as Curd Jurgens claiming he had died after his first heart attack and went to hell, but Kotto's story still sounds a bit wacky. What does everyone think?

Hmmm... if he's not a Catholic, he could well be part of the royal line of succession.

Me thinks Mr Kotto should consult Sir Hilary Bray for some genealogy research...

I thought I was related to King Arthur once, then I found out it was Friar Tuck.

Doesn't sound too far fetched to me.

I've heard it a number of times; not that this makes it true, but at least he's consistent.

Regardless of Edward VII never visiting Cameroon, whasserface could have visited England. And visited Edward VII accordingly.

Well Edward VII did like his women on the side....however considering the racial views of the time, and the credibility of this little tale....I can say with absolute confidence that is complete *censored*
