King Charles and King Felipe have Queen Victoria, King George I of Greece and Prince Alexander of Hesse as common ancestors. Probably King Felipe is the closest related reigning monarch of King Charles .
It's better known that Sofia had a long time relationship with the British royals, from the Greek connection, but I just remembered that the count of Barcelona had served in the British navy and that his mother's English (and Battenberg) background also made him a close relation.
Lord Mountbatten never let the Battenberg connections fall by the wayside.
