How are the Modern Monarchs of Europe Related?

Please consider supporting me at / lindsayholiday
It’s no secret, especially to fans of my channel, that European royal families have been intermarrying for centuries. All 10 of these modern monarchs are related to each other. There are 4 sets of first cousins, meaning they share two grandparents.
Today we’ll take a look at the family trees which connect each of the 10 modern monarchs of Europe and rank them from least to most closely related to the other 9. Each monarch will be scored by what degree of cousin they are from each of the others. First cousins get 1 point, second 2 points third 3 and so on. The lower the score the more closely related they are:
King Philippe of Belgium
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
King Willem-Alexander The Netherlands
King Harald V of Norway
King Felipe VI of Spain
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
King Charles III of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realms
Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg
Sovereign Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein
Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco

    The late Prince Philip must be laughing in his grave now that his son is King. When he married the then Princess Elizabeth, all those snotty British courtiers looked down their noses at him because he wasn't rich and they saw him as "foreign" even though he was actually far more royal than his wife (through both his parents, with descent from Queen Victoria, Christian IX and one of the Russian Czars).

    I believe they were informed who their relations were starting at a young age. The King of Sweden, for example, is only 2 years older than the King of the United Kingdom. Both were acquainted at an early age and were playmates during their youth. Carl XVI Gustaf’s step-grandmother Louise was great aunt to Charles III, being the younger sister of Charles’ grandmother Princess Andrew (Alice) of Greece and Denmark.

In 1953 the Danish Constitution was changed, only making descendants of King Christian the X of Denmark, Prince Phillip’s cousin, eligible for Danish titles and a place in the line of succession. The fact that the Greek royals still are Princes and Princesses of Denmark is honorary. The former King of Greece is also married to the Danish Queen’s sister, so they are just a little closer related than Prince Phillip.

Charles III's adjusted score should be 36. 22:12 This correctly states Harald V of Norway's relationship to Charles III of the UK as second cousin once removed.

    We can try for the UK, Denmark, Belgium and Liechtenstein. But no for the other royal families. The monarchs of Sweden, Norway, Spain, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Monaco married commoner with no relation to royalty. The monarchs of the UK, Denmark, Liechtenstein and Belgium married people from nobility (meaning they are distantly related to royalty). Only the heir of Liechtenstein who is still married to royalty. We need to back to many generations to see their common ancestors. Sometimes, it is impossible because the commoner spouses have no records of their ancestry.

    Ive been building some furniture the past few days and playing a lot of Lindsay’s videos. At night I play rain noises from KZread on the tv in my room and in the middle of the night I started dreaming I was hearing Lindsey’s voice and seeing her videos and I was very confused but in my sleep was like that normal I’ve literally watched hours of her videos the past 3 days. Then I started to realize that it wasn’t a dream and that the rain noise video had ended and I had slept through at least 4-5 videos of Lindsay’s and that’s why they were in my dreams.😂

    Small mistakes... Louis-Philippe was indeed the last king France had, but not the last monarch, since the president elected shortly after his fall in 1848, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, became emperor Napoleon III in 1852. Around 15:00, the tree shows Leopold II of Belgium as Albert I's father. They were uncle and nephew. Albert's father was Philip, count of Flanders, while his mother was Mary of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen... which connects the Belgian branch to the whole Baden branch (and not to the Habsburg-Lorraine branch, which was Leopold II wife's, Maria-Henrietta.)

    Great video! One problem though, you have Albert I of Belgium as son of Leopold II and Queen Marie, when he was actually the son of Prince Phillipe and Princess Marie. You wouldn't have to change much though because you gave Queen Marie the same parents as Princess Marie had in real life, so you would just have to replace Leopold II with Prince Philipe and replace Queen Marie with Princess Marie.

    Following on this look at how they're related and interact: 1. There are many videos of royals coming to visit the Queen. Foreign kings and queens kiss her, but lesser titled royals all now/curtsey first, regardless of age. In one video Princess Anne is there with the Queen, and she would curtsey to a younger foreign Queen but not a foreign prince. 2. When Prince Philip died, the Spanish royals sent a message that they were saddened by the death of "Uncle Philip", and I thought it was interesting they specifically called him "uncle". 3. In a video from Monaco, a palace historian showed the formal letter from Queen Elizabeth to Prince Albert that the new British ambassador presented for his first meeting of introduction. The Queen starts the letter "Dear cousin, please accept my new ambassador...". The historian said "they all use this informal "cousin" term in writing, but maybe in this case she was being accurate!

    Regarding the video of Princess Anne, she curtsied to a foreign king/queen because in theory, they outrank her. She wouldn’t have to curtsey to a prince who has the same title as her. This also explains why everybody except foreign monarchs bowed in front of Queen Elizabeth; it’s all about their rank and titles.

    It's likely the Spanish royals, specifically Felipe, referred to Prince Philip as "uncle" rather than cousin because of the age difference between them. I've noticed it being common in families from different cultures to refer to their older cousins as "aunt" or "uncle". I actually had a friend who called her mom's first cousin (her cousin as well) as her aunt
