through his mother's grandmothers Sophia of Prussia and Victoria Luise of Prussia he is related to that house.
Sophia and her brother Wilhelm II (Victoria Luise's father) were grandchildren of Victoria and Albert on their maternal side. Their father Frederick was the son of Wilhelm of Prussia and Germany and his wife Augusta of Saxonay-Weimar-Eisenach.
Wilhelm's parents were Federick Wilhelm III of Prussia and Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (niece of Queen Charlotte of Great-Britain and Hanover).
Augusta's mother Maria Pavlovna was one the daughters of Paul Petrovich of Russia (son of Catherine II the Great and Peter III) and his second wife Sofia Dorothea of Wurtemberg.
Through queen Olga of Greece herself a granddaughter of Nicholas I of Russia he has another link to the Romanov dynasty.
I'm interested in learning about the connections the King of Spain has with other royal families in Europe. Since he is a Bourbon, I imagine that there is a connection with Bourbons of France and perhaps those of the Two Sicily's? Through grandmother Ena, he descends from the English royals and probably has a cousin connection with those descendants of Kaiser William and the Hohenzollerns. Is there a connection with any descendants of Dagmar, the Empress of Russia and mother of Nicholas II? Through his Greek mother, he is related to both the royal houses in Denmark as well as Norway. Are there others, please?
