Great video and thanks for the shout out!

And now to the long waited chart of "Victoria - the grandmother of Europe".

[thelordnaevis]

Imagine being a non-important royal and you have a wedding and nearly every king and queen from Europe come to your wedding cuz they’re “your relatives”

[gonzaloh]

Don't forget that King Felipe VI's mother, Sofía of Greece is the granddaughter of king George I of Greece

Great video Matt. I definitely believe that the Victoria and Albert (Saxe-Coburg) connection needed clarifying. Most people probably wouldn’t have guessed that Albert’s paternal line family rules in two countries.

Short answer: incest
Long answer: this chart
Thanks again, Matt, for your charts!

Just a heads-up, I noticed an error in the chart. Queen Victoria's oldest son was King Edward VII, not Edward VIII.

Sound like my grandmother at a family reunion pointing at people telling me “that man over there is you 3rd cousin, the other girl is his stepdaughter

The Danish sneekly taking over europe xD

It occurred to me a long time ago that WWI was illogical because nearly all of the involved countries were led by cousins. Then I realized that blood was not something that precluded hostility.

Queen Elizabeth is related to King Felipe two additional ways through his mother, Queen Sofia. The two Queens are third cousins through Christian IX and third cousins, once removed through Victoria. So Elizabeth is third cousin, once removed and also third cousin, twice removed of King Felipe.

The King of Norway and the former King of Belgium are first cousin!

Thanks I didn’t realize they were truly all one big family of thieves this put it in great pictorial form

[cormacmacsuibhne]

2 kings, 1 King consort, all named Phillip. Not one of them is spelt the same way.

Great video! Very interesting. Thanks for the genealogical update. The only improvement I'd make to these types of videos is to add some kind of geographical/political map of the countries you're referring to. If we're going to increase geography education for non-Europeans, we need to constantly show people who are not from Europe... spatially how these countries are related to one another as well as genealogically.

I Love Lindsays channel.. very relaxing :) good to see you have found her.

[Ravenicus]

I absolutely love this channel, and it's been so useful and interesting. Thank you for posting this stuff.

Plot twist: everyone is related to the royal families.

Search: every baby is a royal baby, Numberphile.

Soon French houses will rule five monarchies in Europe : Spain (Bourbon), Luxembourg (Bourbon), Sweden (Bernadotte), Denmark (Monpezat) and Monaco (Polignac) despite France being a republic for more than a century.

Great chart. One error, though. You have Edward the 8th of the UK as Queen Victoria's son, married to Queen Alexandra. That should be Edward the 7th (I'm sure it was a typo!). But it was fascinating to see just how closely many of today's European monarchs are related!
