How are the Modern Monarchs of Europe Related? 

Hey, can you please go further down the generations of Queen Victoria's descendants, i.e. g-grandchildren, then g-g-grandchildren.

I am thoroughly enjoying your history lesson ❤️

She was working those charts really hard in this video, flying around these different branches of the family tree.

I was thinking the exact same thing bro, I love both of the channels

Exactly

Facts!

My 2 favourite channels

Yeah, it'll take time to get used to.

Yes! I immediately thought that.

right?? Gonna take some serious getting used to

Me too 😭 in 🇨🇦

Especially when it’s so casual.

This video made me think so I did some figuring. Charles III is 5th cousin to himself. If I figure right.

double cousins means you and another person share all 4 of the same grandparents (I actually have one lol)

Yes, like Charles is descended from Christian IX both through Christian’s son George and his daughter Alexandra, it’s just that Charles has a slightly closer degree of kinship to Christian through George than Alix. Christian - George - Andrew - Philip - Charles versus Christian - Alix - George - George - Elizabeth - Charles

@@piratesswoop725 Charles is also descended from queen Victoria on both sides

@@valeriehopkins644 his parents are his cousins too so really what’s new. I think his dad and mom are also his 3rd cousin once removed and 3rd cousin.

Hahaha

I like to see footage of them meeting up to see who bows/curtsies to whom. Interesting custom to bow to other humans.

I think it’s been a really long time since all 10 crowned heads of Europe were gathered in one place. It would’ve happened at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral but Liechtenstein sent their heir rather than the reigning Prince. I need to double check but I think the last time all the crowned heads of Europe were together was at the funeral of King Baudoin of Belgium.

@@creature57 I don’t think monarchs bow to each other. Henri, Albert and Hans Adam might bow to the others as they are grand duke/princes compared to kings and queens, but the kings and queens don’t bow to each other.

All the other royals have to bow to Queen Margrethe as she is from the highest ranked royal house, because it is the oldest of them all, even Queen Elizabeth had to curtsey to her.

@@piratesswoop725 Actually they all do have to bow to the highest ranking Royal in the room.

There is more of a" paper trail" on royalty.

The royals had better records kept of them

@Hamuel I imagine they do. Otherwise it would be impossible to keep track of everyone lol 😂! I'm already pretty damned lost by the end of the video. But it was still very informative nonetheless 😁👍!

Every family has lineage, othervise you wouldt be here.

They’re all related

But John William Friso is still the most recent common ancestor to all current _and defunct_ European monarchs.

But first It was the Love Story and Wedding of Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov and Victoria Beteranni.

the most recent relative who was related to every single monarchy in europe was king george the 2 of great britain

@@alksy342 Thats not true

@@bertbert4960 that is

I believe they were informed who their relations were starting at a young age. The King of Sweden, for example, is only 2 years older than the King of the United Kingdom. Both were acquainted at an early age and were playmates during their youth. Carl XVI Gustaf’s step-grandmother Louise was great aunt to Charles III, being the younger sister of Charles’ grandmother Princess Andrew (Alice) of Greece and Denmark.

It's more enchanting for me. And luckily the monarchs are all good allies which make this more crucial.

Paternally, the UK as well as Prince Philip was a Danish descendant of Greek royal family. Charles is a second cousin to King Constantine II of Greece (and his sister Queen Sofia of Spain) who was deposed of the throne in 1973.

@@EAlyahya had the late Duke of Edinburgh not “renounce” (still a topic of debate) his Greek and Danish princely titles, maybe Charles III would have had “Prince of Greece and Denmark” as his secondary titles (if British law allows) the way Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands is also a “Princess of Lippe-Biesterfeld” from her father Prince Bernhard.

@@AviationAddict69 ironically, the current pretender to the throne of Hanover (Prince Ernst August) and his descendants are still styled as Prince/Princess of Great Britain and Ireland in Germany

@@AviationAddict69 Unfortunately no. In 1953 the Danish Constitution was changed, only making descendants of King Christian the X of Denmark, Prince Phillip’s cousin, eligible for Danish titles and a place in the line of succession. The fact that the Greek royals still are Princes and Princesses of Denmark is honorary. The former King of Greece is also married to the Danish Queen’s sister, so they are just a little closer related than Prince Phillip.

@@EAlyahya The cheeky buggers.. They have no right whatsoever. the Prince/Princess title *only* applies to children and grandchildren of the Sovereign (and not even all the grandchildren) and does not, nor ever has been able to be passed down to further generations beyond that

Christian IX of Denmark's sobriquet was the Father-in-law of Europe.

Charlotte is not a princess

Charlotte was not a princess, She was a hereditary princess for some time but not a princess

@@andypham1636 Charlotte was never a hereditary princess. It was her mother Caroline, before Albert married, she was briefly his heir.

@@jcruby2328 I meant her lol the duchess of valentinois

Maybe better use a British English speaker as known names, cities and countries in Europe are mispronounced totally....

​@@landry2125 Completely agree

Look into her Hapsburg videos. I don't know if she's done a British version

I believe she did a video explaining how Charles & Diana are related, along with Diana's connection to Winston Churchill. Although when it comes to Charles & Camilla: they're not necessarily related {that I'm aware of anyway}, but his great-great-grandfather (Edward VII) & her great-great-grandmother (Alice Keppel) had an affair.

Since royals no longer marry other royals, those family trees would likely be very difficult to compare, especially royals who married foreigners like Carl Gustaf, Willem Alexander, Albert and Margrethe.

@@piratesswoop725 difficult, but not impossible. Carl XVI Gustaf has some German heritage, and his wife is from Germany. And while the connection might be *very* remote, UsefulCharts has posited a claim that anyone with European ancestry can claim ancestry from Charlemagne as well…so there’s that.

We can try for the UK, Denmark, Belgium and Liechtenstein. But no for the other royal families. The monarchs of Sweden, Norway, Spain, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Monaco married commoner with no relation to royalty. The monarchs of the UK, Denmark, Liechtenstein and Belgium married people from nobility (meaning they are distantly related to royalty). Only the heir of Liechtenstein who is still married to royalty. We need to back to many generations to see their common ancestors. Sometimes, it is impossible because the commoner spouses have no records of their ancestry.

The "double cousin" thing should be considered in the scoring.

That's right, I was looking for someone to point that out. I think the scoring system is based on the nearest link or the nearest correlation.

I'd be curious to see a Victoria count for all of them. As in, how many times does Queen Victoria appear in their family tree.

​@@tjs114 You mean how many paths can be traced from a current monarch or pretender to Queen Victoria? *Charles III of the UK:* 2 paths through Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark (his parents are third cousins through Queen Victoria) *Harald V of Norway:* 1 path *Frederik X of Denmark:* 1 path *Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden:* 2 paths through Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (his parents are second cousins through Queen Victoria) *Felipe VI of Spain:* 3 paths through Juan Carlos I, Sophia, Frederica of Hanover, and Paul of the Hellenes (his maternal grandparents are first cousins once removed through Princess Victoria, Princess Royal of the UK) (Pretender) *Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece:* 2 paths through Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark and Constantine II of Greece (his parents are third cousins through Queen Victoria) (Pretender) *Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia:* 2 paths through Peter II of Yugoslavia and Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark (his parents are third cousins through Queen Victoria) (Pretender) *Margareta, Custodian of the Crown of Romania:* 2 paths through Carol II of Romania and Helen of Greece and Denmark (her paternal grandparents are second cousins through Queen Victoria)

I laughed!

Persian crown jewels would be nice

Yes that would be interesting.

@@DT2007 Are there anything left.. And where?

The Scots Crown Jewels would be lovely. I just found out about them due to her Majesty’s laying in state in Edinburgh.

There is in Yutube already a video about Swedish jewellery.

you*

@@bird5954 Hit the three dots to the right of your post, select Edit and you can make any changes to typos.

I thought she did a video on Queen Mary already. She was from a poor family that had to go live abroad in Italy to save money, I think, before she married well.

@@CallieMasters5000 I think she's talked about her in segments of other videos, but not a full in depth video of just her

Queen Mary is very interesting to look into. I think she saved the British Royal family.

How are you descended? From William IV?

@@bonhamcarter4488 through Queen Victoria.

@@bonhamcarter4488 are you Helena?

@@tomcat4765 That's an absolute lie. Queen Victoria has no descendant with your name. All of her descendants are accounted for. Don't try to pretend, it's disgusting.

Can u elaborate more on ur ancestry?

a Wittelsbach is the Jacobite pretender

​@@andypham1636 He can claim English throne?Stuart dinasty?

@@ivansaric4752 what

@@ivansaric4752 Yes, Duke Franz of Bavaria is the Jacobite pretender, but has no interest in pursuing the claim. His heir is his younger brother Max-Emmanuel, then the eldest daughter Sophie who is Hereditary Princess of Liechtenstein. She attended the Coronation of Charles III and the recent Jordanian royal wedfing where she was seated next to the Prince of Wales (William).

A qualified guess is that several royals actually had an other biological father than history claims.. Wasn't very unusual.

or you could just add in Prince Phillippe

And Charlemagne!

yes to this pls!

Maximilian, Margrave of Baden is a first cousin of King Charles III (Prince Philip and Maximilian’s mother; Princess Theodora are siblings).

Yes a Baden princess provided the much-needed royal blood to the Monegasque princess some generations ago. Her mother was from the aristocratic Hamilton family of UK.

I think they only can tell some more interesting connection they already know.

There was another one: King Willem - Alexander of the Netherlands and Prince Carlos, Duke of Parma

@@bertbert4960 They were first cousins.

Regarding the video of Princess Anne, she curtsied to a foreign king/queen because in theory, they outrank her. She wouldn’t have to curtsey to a prince who has the same title as her. This also explains why everybody except foreign monarchs bowed in front of Queen Elizabeth; it’s all about their rank and titles.

It's likely the Spanish royals, specifically Felipe, referred to Prince Philip as "uncle" rather than cousin because of the age difference between them. I've noticed it being common in families from different cultures to refer to their older cousins as "aunt" or "uncle". I actually had a friend who called her mom's first cousin (her cousin as well) as her aunt

Prince Philip was the cousin of Queen Sofia of Spain, the mother of current King Felipe VI

@@syria0110 Germans do this…

@@MitjaC Monarchs of other countries are equally ranked as Elizabeth II of the UK. They either shake hands with her or if they are cousins, they kiss her on the cheek.

Lol. Yeah. Loved the transition to the sponsor. It was one of the more creative ones that I've seen.

How is Charles III related to Ludwig IX?

@@putalaweamala7191 Both of Prince Philip's parents were descendants of Ludwig IX, first of all the Battenbergs (anglicised Mountbatten, the family Prince Philip’s mother is from) is a morganatic branch of the Hesse-Darmstadt family (meaning they were results of marriage between two people of unequal rank and therefore do not have rights to succeed to the Hessian Grand Ducal titles). And Prince Andreas of Greece and Denmark, father of the Duke of Edinburgh, was a descendant of Ludwig IX through his daughter Friederike Luise who became Queen of Prussia by marriage to Friedrich Wilhelm II, their granddaughter Charlotte of Prussia married Tsar Nicholas I of Russia who had a granddaughter Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna of Russia who married Georgios I King of the Hellenes. Georgios I of Greece and Queen Olga were the parents of Prince Andreas

@@putalaweamala7191 Charles’ great-great-grandfather Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse (husband of Princess Alice) was a great-great-grandson of Louis IX.

But John William Friso is still the most recent common ancestor to all current _and defunct_ European monarchs.

@@RaymondHng if by defunct monarchs you mean former monarchs who are still alive then the only two extra people would be Simeon II of the Bulgarians and Constantine II of the Hellenes and both of them are descendants of Landgrave Louis IX. If by defunct monarchs you mean heads of all formerly reigning families then not even John William Friso has that distinction. For example the Duke of Anhalt, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the Schwarzburg principalities etc.
