Then, as
they say in some parts of the world, "Bob's your uncle," what ever

"Bob" is Robert Peel, British Prime Minister during Victoria's
reign, and thus the most powerful man in the world at that
time. Having him as an uncle would obviously make your life
easier :-)

Peel also invented the idea of a police force, which is why
British police are called "bobbies".
