I know that the Duke of Edinburgh (who actually had more blue blood than his wife) was related to all ten reigning monarchs of Europe today. Eight of them (the seven kingdoms and one grand duchy) are obvious.
Can anybody tell me his relationships to the sovereigns of the two principalities? I know that he would have been at least distantly related to both Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein and Albert II of Monaco. The latter, I assume, would be through the German grand ducal house of Baden -- the only main genealogical tie between the Grimaldis and the established dynasties of Europe.
