: Some time ago, I saw a website that detailed
: the nearest relationship between any two
: given reigning monarchs of Europe today
: (e.g. as of 2001, that between Belgium and
: Luxembourg was uncle and nephew).
: Unfortunately, not only is it out-of-date
: but also, it seems that the said website is
: down.
:
: So could anybody simply provide that
: information here, if he happens to have an
: expert knowledge of genealogy? The main
: reasons for my asking are the principalities
: of Monaco and Liechtenstein. Otherwise, I'm
: pretty confident about the relationships
: between the various kings, queens, and grand
: duke.
:
: Case in point: Queen Elizabeth II of Great
: Britain is a second cousin to King Harald V
: of Norway, third cousin to Queen Margrethe
: II of Denmark, third cousin to King Carl XVI
: Gustaf of Sweden, and third cousin once
: removed to King Felipe VI of Spain.
:
: She is a more distant cousin to King Willem
: IV of the Netherlands, but I believe their
: closest connection would be through mutual
: descent from King George II.
:
: Nope.
: Their closest relation is via Christian IX
: of Dk.
: All other links below:
Henri and Philippe descend from Christian IX thru Princess Ingeborg. But Willem-Alexander is not a descendant of the father-in-law of Europe.

:
: Although King
: Philippe of the Belgians is also a
: descendant of his, I believe he and the
: current British sovereign are more closely
: connected through the House of
: Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The same could be said
: of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg. It's get
: tricky to count the numbers of generations
: ("great-great-great ..."); but can
: anybody provide the information on the
: Benelux sovereigns? Also (of course) the
: sovereign princes?
:
: I remember that website allowing the user to
: start with any reigning monarch as a focal
: point. One could start, for instance, with
: Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and then go
: through the list of her relationships to
: fellow sovereigns (i.e. Britain, Norway,
: Sweden, the Benelux countries, Spain,
: Monaco, Liechtenstein).
:
:
: Just pick a name and look for the
: relationshipes, with or w/o spouses
