An interesting thought. My astronomy software says this about the
star Regulus:
Alpha Leonis, "Regulus," is the 21st brightest star in the sky. For
thousands of years Regulus has been associated with royalty and
kings.
Called "the Kingly One" by the Arabs, "The King" by the Babylonians,
Regulus is a double star with an orange 7.9 magnitude companion 177"
distant.
And yes, it is the brightest star in the constellation Leo.
I'm not sure if there's more connection than that.
