what other royal houses are sweden related to ?thanks
The King or his relatives too? Reigning or non-reigning? If the former, all of them (assuming you're referring to relatives by marriage and not only direct descendants).Originally posted by sexyswede@Jan 23rd, 2004 - 6:34 pm

I would suggest you try an Almanach de Gotha, as it would be far too much work to show how the RF is related to the other houses of Europe.Originally posted by sexyswede@Jan 24th, 2004 - 6:35 pm
All of it!by marriage and blood the king, and relatives please thank you so much
So, as Josephine Charlotte of Belgium, that was Queen Astrid's daughter and obviously King Albert's sister, married Jean of Luxembourg and became Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, the Sweden Royals are related to the Royal family of Luxembourg tooThey are also related to the Begian Royals, through Queen Astrid, King Albert's mother. She was born Princess of Sweden.
Yes, and Princess Astrid's sister, Märtha, also a princess of Sweden, is King Harald of Norway's mother.They are also related to the Begian Royals, through Queen Astrid, King Albert's mother. She was born Princess of Sweden.
Not a close connection but I believe the Swedes are closest related to the Dutch by the Kings mother, Princess Sibilla. Sibilla´s paternal grandmother (Helen of Waldeck-Pyrmont) and Juliana´s maternal grandmother (Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont) were sisters.
Carl XVI Gustaf is also somewhat related to Elisabeth II, as they are both great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria and her husband Albert. Carl XVI Gustaf's paternal grandmother, our crown princess Margareta, was born as a Brittish princess with the name Margareth of Connaught, and her father was prince Arthur, one of Victoria's and Albert's sons. I believe Carl XVI Gustaf and Elisabeth II are third cousins.

This closely relation has paid of, it is probably not a coincidence that the Luxembourg/belgian houses knights swedish royals that have lost their title.
Does anyone know the connection Carl XVI Gustaf has with King Simeon II of bulgaria?
Simeon II is from the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha as the belgian royalhouse. Are they cousins or what? Simeon II is always invited to weddings, birthdays and so on. They seem to have a close relation.
Actually, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Margarethe are first cousins.
All the reigning and non-reigning royal houses are related in some way.
Norway
Oscar II of Sweden - Haakon VII (Norway) - Olav V - Harald V - Haakon - Ingrid Alexandra
Oscar II. is no ancestor of Haakon VII.
It would go
Carl XV. - Louise - Haakon VII.
