Tuppence Middleton hit our screens on Monday night in brand new ITV drama Our House, starring alongside Scottish superstar Martin Compston - and has been talk of the town.
The four-part series tells the tale of an estranged husband and wife called Fiona (played by Tuppence Middleton) and Bram Lawson (Martin Compston).
With her role in the show set to catapult Tuppence to new stardom, is there already a potential royal link between the actress and the Duchess of Cambridge?

As reported by the Express, the 35-year-old is perhaps best known for her role as Lucy Smith in the Downton Abbey film, as she lines up a second role in the sequel.
Speaking on her role in Our House, Tuppence said: "You have this present-day thriller, which just kind of unravels and becomes more and more incredible as it goes along.
“And then you have this tragic love story, and you’re sort of charting the breakdown of this relationship.
“And really, for me, it was about making the differences between those [timelines] clear and also charting the journey in a way that felt like you were keeping the momentum going without giving the game away too soon.”
So, with this thriller under her belt, is Tuppence about to shock the audience with a relation to the Duchess? Sadly not, despite sharing a unique surname.
The actress has said: “Since Kate Middleton came around, some people think I’m related to her, but unfortunately, there’s no connection.”
While they may not be related, many fans believe she would be an ideal fit for playing the future queen in a film or series about her life.
Our House continues tonight at 9pm on ITV, with the final episode airing on Thursday.
