No, anyone who is in line of succession to the British throne must also be a descendant of Electress Sophia since the 1701 Act of Settlement restricted the line of succession to her Protestant descendants alone. However, this fact no longer guarantees UK citizenship to any of her non-British descendants unless they were born before 1949 when the Sophia Naturalisation Act was repealed.
