I popped over to WeAreTheRangersBoys to see what there take was on Beale and stumbled on what looks like a definitive list of famous R's fans"
Right then, I only went and done it! Below is the list of names that have been mentioned above. Certain names mentioned were patently ridiculous and debunked in subsequent posts, eg Hugh Grant. Some are stretching the definition of "famous" but I left them in. Others were too imprecise eg "the one out of Eternal" so I left them out too. The list was compiled over 6 years so some are now dead or their fame has waned but irrespective of that I think they count as Famous Rs. SEVEN esteemed posters separately answered with "Me" so maybe Michael Gove is actually a regular on here? Lastly, Take any queries to Google - I really have no idea who half of them are. I've just listed 'em from above.

The Duke of Westminster - Where were you when we were skint? Tommy Steele, Tim Peake, Richard Stilgoe, Mary Nightingale, Vanessa Redgrave, Konnie Huq, all new to me.
Alan Devonshire’s family were season ticket holders down the bush as I remember.. From Southall I believe.
Hmmm not sure… his mum and dad lived on Ribchester Avenue in Perivale. I assume they were West Ham fans as my Nan lived opposite them, I would go round there as a kid.

Alan and his wife movd into Welland Gardens, no.4 around 1979. My Nan and Aunt lived next door at no.3. Alan was on the Rangers books up to the age of around 14 but was jettisoned as being too small. Trialled at Palace before ending up at Wham. Never gave us any indications on who he supported as a kid.
Vanessa Redgrave LOL - I doubt she even knows where we play. Toby Young is missing from that list, as is the gorgeous Xylo - there was a whole thread on her here recently.
I thought Sarah Cracknell of St Etienne follows us. Sure I have seen her with her boys in the stadium.
I saw an interview where she said the only time her sons accepted that she might ever have been famous was when she was approached by QPR fans at Loftus Road.
Just remembered another one: Leslie Cavendish, the Beatles hairdresser. In his autobiography 'The Cutting Edge' he mentions going to see the Rs several times. Big fan.
