Reminds me of a story - which may or not be true:
Sir Thomas Beecham, famed British conductor, encounters elegantly dressed matron in a book store.
The woman greets him warmly and he racks his brain trying to remember who she is.
After several minutes of conversation the woman mentions her brother.
Aha, a clue, Sir Thomas thinks:
"What's your brother doing these days?"
The woman responds:
"He's still king."
