it's also extremely unlikely that I would date anyone who could count which number in line to the throne they were,

LOL.

Now you inspired me to go look up the british succession. According to Anyone descended from Electress Sophie of Hanover (and of legitimate birth, and not Catholic) is in the line of succession. It tries to list all descendants of her great-grandson Frederick, prince of wales.

The last is Countess Charlotte of Hohenau (b. 1917), great-granddaughter of Prince Albert of Prussia. The one with lowest google ranking is Maria von Pezold (one hit).

And other (including unknown) descendants of Sophie must be many thousands. Of course, the further someone is from the throne, the less reason there is to keep them in the succession, even if there's less problem with genetics and tabloids :)
