It’s no secret, especially to fans of my channel, that European royal families have been intermarrying for centuries. All 10 of these modern monarchs are related to each other. There are 4 sets of first cousins, meaning they share two grandparents. Today we’ll take a look at the family trees which connect each of the 10 modern monarchs of Europe and rank them from least to most closely related to the other 9. Each monarch will be scored by what degree of cousin they are from each of the others. First cousins get 1 point, second 2 points third 3 and so on. The lower the score the more closely related they are:
King Philippe of Belgium
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
King Willem-Alexander The Netherlands
King Harald V of Norway
King Felipe VI of Spain
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
King Charles III of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realms
Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg
Sovereign Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein
Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco
