Yvonne Szapary is indeed a 4th cousin of M-C.
That makes Karl of Hesse a 4th cousin by alliance of the princess.

Don't know if the Hesses were that close to the Mountbattens.
Don't know if they are related but Prince Karl of Hesse, the son of his sister Sophie is married to Countess Yvonne Szaparay and her mother is a born Countess Szapary.
Yes, I agree the relation seems a bit distant, but in those circles everyone that counts is cousin to someone .
No matter if they are 1st cousins or 4th grade cousins.
And you are absolutely right. Harold "Bunny" Philipps, as well as his brother Edward (Ted), were both Edwina Mountbatten's lovers.
Would that count as THE double cousins ?
Also Bunny's first wife, Georgina Werhner was a close friend of Elizabeth II.
To close the circle, Nicholas' youngest sister, Natalya Philips, was married to Gerald Grosvenor, duke of Westminster.
Not a family relative of the Mountbattens/M.Havens but close to the BRF
Looking forward for hearing who would be the 2nd cousin related to the Mountbattens, from any fellow poster.
