Thought this was sort of interesting: The second duke of Cambridge, Prince Adolphus Frederick, was the seventh son of King George III. Defying the Royal Marriage Act, he married his mistress, Sarah Louisa Fairbrother, an actress and a commoner, in 1847. Since the marriage wasn't legal, his children were all illegitimate.
And also: Kate Middleton (Now the Duchess of Cambridge and also referred by her name of Catherine) is the first "commoner" to marry a prince in close proximity to the throne in more than 350 years.
