I wouldn't worry about that, Brother Alvin. As you will see from that article

(he) is the second cousin of Andrew Farquharson, Express reported. Andrew had a lengthy career of working alongside the Queen, first as her courtier and then as her Assistant Master of the Household at Buckingham Palace.

A second cousin would be the child of his father's cousin, so pretty much no relation at all. I wouldn't know my second cousins from - well, from any other stranger.
Plus, if I hired a "courtier" (what
is that exactly - some sort of junior professional groveler, presumably - so several paces ahead, walking backwards, rather than "alongside" the Queen) or assistant housekeeper, I certainly wouldn't expect their second cousins to start claiming "connections" to my family. The absolute effrontery of it!
