Inspired by this, I decided to compile a similar list of marriages between descendants of Christian IX - and as I suspected, this yielded more results. I have found 12 all in all - but if anyone sees that I have left something out, please let me know.
The 12 marriages that I found are as follows (with the groom listed first, and in parentheses, which of Christian IX's children each person is descended from):
- 1896: Carl of Denmark, later Haakon VII of Norway (Frederik VIII) and Maud of the United Kingdom (Alexandra)
- 1919: Axel of Denmark (Valdemar) and Margaretha of Sweden (Frederik VIII)
- 1929: Olav V of Norway (Frederik VIII AND Alexandra) and Märtha of Sweden (Frederik VIII)
- 1931: Berthold of Baden (Thyra) and Theodora of Greece (Georgios I)
- 1933: Knud of Denmark (Frederik VIII) and Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark (Frederik VIII)
- 1934: George of the United Kingdom, Duke of Kent (Alexandra) and Marina of Greece (Georgios I)
- 1937: Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe (Frederik VIII) and Feodora of Denmark (Frederik VIII)
- 1938: Pavlos I of Greece (Georgios I) and Friederike of Hannover (Thyra)
- 1946: Georg Wilhelm of Hannover (Thyra) and Sophia of Greece (Georgios I)
- 1947: Philip Mountbatten/Philip of Greece (Georgios I) and Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (Alexandra)
- 1948: Mihai I of Romania (Georgios I) and Anne of Bourbon-Parma (Valdemar)
- 1964: Konstantinos II of Greece (Georgios I) and Anne-Marie of Denmark (Frederik VIII)
Any other marriages between the descendants of "the father-in-law of Europe"...?
