With the recent accession of Charles III as king of Great Britain, Europe once again has three male-line descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark sitting on European thrones as reigning monarchs today. I believe this was basically the case from 1905-1973, when the Greek monarchy (despite undergoing interregnum periods) was enthroned. What other royals have simultaneously had three sovereigns descended in the male line, within the last 200 years?
