Royal Cousins
Can we get a thread going about how closely related the current reigning royals are?
Example -- isn't Queen Margrethe the 1st cousin of King Carl Gustav??? (Wasn't Queen Ingrid the sister of Carl Gustav's dad???)

Queen Sofia of Spain is sister of King Kostantite of Greece. So, the prince felipe and the infantas are cousins to price pablos, alexia, nicholas, theodora and phillipos.
Also, because Anne- Marie is from greece price pablos, alexia, nicholas, theodora and phillipos are cousins to prince frederick and joachim of denmark.

Note: I'm talking monarchs here...
 And I'm using Harald V of Norway as my starting point for this post. Harald of Norway and Albert of Belgium are first cousins - their mothers (Crown Princess Märtha and Queen Astrid were sisters). Harald and Margrethe are second cousins - their grandfathers Haakon VII and Christian X were brothers. In addition, they're also second cousins another way, as Harald's grandmother, Princess Ingeborg of Sweden, was a sister to Haakon and Christian. This also means that Albert of Belgium also is a second cousin to the Danish monarch, as he and Harald share Ingeborg as a mutual grandmother. Harald and Elizabeth II are also second cousins as Harald's grandmother, Maud, was a sister to Elizabeth's grandfather, George. Harald and Constantine (and therefore also Sofia), are third cousins by way of Christian X, and also by way of Queen Victoria. I'm doing a genealogy project, and without being nearly half way done or anything, Harald and Constantine are related in at least seven different ways. Mutual ancestors include Christian X (3rd cousins), Queen Victoria (3rd cousins), Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia (4th cousins once removed), Christian Albrecht of Gottorp (8th cousins once removed), Friedrich II of Hesse (6th cousins), Frederik 5 of Denmark (half 6th cousins), and Frederik 2 of Denmark (11th cousins once removed) Harald and Ernst August of Hannover are also 3rd cousins. As are Harald and Juan Carlos of Spain. Harald and Carl Gustaf of Sweden are 2. cousins once removed (Oscar II of Sweden), 3rd cousins (Queen Victoria), 4th cousins (Wilhelm of Schleswig Holstein Beck Glucksburg) 5th cousins (Friederich Wilhelm III of Prussia), 10th cousins (Frederik 3 of Denmark) and 12 cousins once removed (Christian 3 of Denmark) Harald and Beatrix are 4th cousins once removed.

Carl Gustaf is cousins with Queen Margrethe and therefore Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne-Marie. Then that means Victoria, Carl Philip, and Madeleine are second cousins of Frederick and Joachim plus all the Greek offspring of King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie.
Aren't Queen Margrethe and Queen Elizabeth first cousins? I was watching a documentary on Queen Elizabeth and Margrethe was on it and I'm pretty sure the caption said that they were cousins. If they are, through what royal are they related?

Now, this is a must have and must print out for everyone here! I just found one of the most complete PDF genealogical trees on the British Royals. If you view it with the browser you have to use the zoom in because I'm afraid it lists everybody. Enjoy:

King Albert II of Belgium and Victor Emmanuel of Italy are first cousins (Alberts dad King Leopold and Victor's Mom Queen Marie Jose were brother and sister.)
And yes Tdarlene, Sofia and Ernst August are first cousins as well.

It makes me dizzy trying to figure out the family lineage of some of these royals. I wonder if the royals themselves know exactly how they're all related to one another. Do they know that this royal is their third cousin twice removed by this royal? It just gets confusing after awhile.

I mean, most of them are related in one way or another, near or distant. Philippe of Belgium and Albert of Monaco are sixth cousins... if not even closer, but that's not something you go around remembering.

Six modern monarchies have descendents from Queen Victoria: Great Britain of course, and Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Luxembourg. And Belgium is descended from the same family as Queen V, the Coburgs.

I don't believe the Luxembourg RF descends from Queen Victoria. Only Princess Sybilla (nee Weiller) and her children do, through Princess Beatrice and her daughter Queen Ena.
