This novelist could be a candidate for inclusion if future editions of
the book were expanded to include Mexico ...

Michael K. Schuessler, _Elena Poniatowska: An Intimate Biography_
(Univ. of Arizona Press, 2007), p. xii:

Far from belonging to this world at so fascinates her, Poniatowska is
descended from the last king of Poland, Stanislaus Augusto
Poniatowski, and from the marshal of France, Prince Josef Ciolek
Poniatowski. Her family includes among its illustrious ancestors an
archbishop, a musician, and several writers, including her Aunt Pita--
Guadalupe Amor--the infamous and extraordinary poet who baptized
herself "the absolute Queen of Hell." Given her royal pedigree and
strong leftist inclinations, her European relatives, who treasure
their royal past, dubbed Elena "La Princesse Rouge"--"The Red
Princess."
Elena Poniatowska was born in Paris in 1932 and immigrated to
Mexico when she was ten years old, along with her mother and sister,
Kitzia, all three fleeing the dangers of Western Europe, wheich was at
that time int he throes of the Second World War. ...

Ah, if wishes were horses, then beggars could fly.

She is not descended from King Stanislaus; her great-great-great-great
grandfather was his brother; nor is she descended from Marshal
Poniatowski (d 1813) - he was the first cousin of her great-great-
great grandfather. This appears to be rather uninspiring
"scholarship".

Her family includes among its illustrious ancestors an
archbishop, a musician, and several writers, including her Aunt Pita--
Guadalupe Amor--the infamous and extraordinary poet who baptized
herself "the absolute Queen of Hell." Given her royal pedigree and

But do you have anything mediaeval to contribute?

Who was that actress supposedly descended from a Polish King? Was it
Leelee Sobieski? She might be a candidate as well.
