Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk discovers he’s related to King Charles

Actor, famous for playing Saul Goodman, is told he’s the UK monarch’s 11th cousin on a US television show

There’s very little that’s regal about Saul Goodman, the character Bob Odenkirk is best known for. But despite being famous for playing the slippery, con-loving lawyer in Breaking Bad and its prequel, Better Call Saul, the actor will discover on TV this week that he is related to royalty.

Genealogy-based US television show Finding Your Roots has traced Odenkirk’s family back five generations and found that he is the 11th cousin of King Charles III.
