Except for the dude who gave me my last name (he was some sort of celebrated war chief/general, and lived a few centuries ago.) I don't think there's anyone famous I'm related to.
As for the British, well. Actually very nice as long as you don't ruffle their feathers, but far too obsessed with tea. (I frequent a British forum that's about a British author and her books, and the most popular thread in the 'general natter' section is 'Your favourite brand of tea'. Extra points for the spelling of favorite.).
Have some very sexy accents sprinkled in with a few extremely annoying ones (the Scouse accent comes to mind.)
Pronounce Z in a weird way. Also popularized that pronunciation in India and made my kindergarten brain very confused.
Beautiful country, and countrymen and women with just the right amount of national pride.
The only time I've really had anything bad to say about you guys is during the 2018 World Cup. Every single English supporter, with their 'IT'S COMING HOMEEEEE BOYS' made me want to lob a gigantic scone at their head. I may or may not have run round the entire house euphorically screaming when Croatia beat you.
All that being said, I may have British ancestry, as my great grandfather, who lived in pre-independence India, basically looked white (really light brown hair, blue eyes, pale skin) enough to ride in the British only carriages on trains and stuff. Me thinks someone before his time had been canoodling with the enemy. So I'm not dissing y'all.

The word bed actually looks like a bed.
