As such, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and her namesake, the future Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians, are agnates.
It's rather eerie to think of the British sovereign's children, grandchildren through sons, and great-grandchildren through William and Harry as being male-line descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark, since we're all so accustomed to thinking of them as members of the House of Windsor. But that's what they technically are: agnates of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
Male lines of descent from Christian IX can be seen by doing a simple query at the Genealogics site.
