Fun fact, my parents 88 and 94 are now on their 5th monarch! both were born when George V was on the throne. Also it amazes my how Mary of Teck (Queen Mary) has passed her looks on
You should write a journal and ask them about their memories throughout all the decades! They lived through WW2, Queen Elizabeth’s coranation, humans stepping foot on the moon, the rise of technology, and so much more. You can always look back on the journal and read it!
Also amazing to think that Queen Mary was Princess Mary of Teck, a direct descendant of Prince Vlad of Wlakia, also known as "Son of the Dragon", or Dracula.
Yes, the same with my father, now in his 90's. My mother saw 4. But my great grandparents saw 5 as well. Victoria, Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII and George VI. My grandparents also saw 5. Just delete old Vickie and add on Lizzie. Its almost surreal that now in upper middle age I only saw ONE up until a couple weeks ago.
@@bodnica yeah….not every royal gets financial support. Most extended royals, especially those who are descendants from Edward VII’s other offspring, could walk down the street and not get recognised. Heck, I only know the household royal names. I would be surprised if the Queen herself could even remember all her relatives. There’s just too many.
@@RossKyle95 She did her best to familiarize herself with all of them but it was easier to remember the Kents and Gloucesters because they perform duties alongside her and she aid have strong friendships with her 2nd-3rd cousins who are also sovereigns.
@@sirwelch9991 she was particularly close with the Duke of Kent , he’s the Royal Colonel of Scots `guards actually also Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - which traces back to Royal Scots Greys ( who had Tsar Nicolas II as a previous colonel since we are talking about European cousins etc haha her grandfathers cousin so what’s that 1st cousin twice removed or 3rd cousin can’t mind hahah ) now I’m rambling ahah
Woooow, the research you did is amazing, the family tree is so streamlined, easy to see relations and generations, and you even included photos, and numbered them in the group photo. I was a big fan before, but this amazed me. I knew the faces of the senior royals, including the Queens still working cousins, but their children and grandchildren are just numerous with many different names and titles, I would never entangle the family tree myself. Truly great work!!
Brilliant work! Queen Victoria really did make all of Europe part of “the family”. You’ve mentioned my family in your videos on a few occasions. It’s very odd to see but lovely that you are keeping it all up to date for everyone. A wee tip for you; each family keeps it’s own records as well and goes down to just before Charlemagne! Even the Clan Kings are noted and kept up with.
@@retroguy9494 Well done! She went along with it though. Of course, I believe she’d had followed him in anything. It’s a bother at times but always nice to have somewhere to stay when visiting! 😂
@@Sorchia56 LOL Indeed! And the royal family DID seem to have relatives wherever in Europe they visited! Yes, she DID take Prince Albert's advice in most things. But it wasn't all peaches and cream. That little family squabble DID lead to World War I. Queen Victoria and her son King Bertie were good at managing the family and keeping them from fighting. Sadly, once Georgie became King, he didn't fare so well with it!
@@retroguy9494 it didn’t lead to ww1, the monarchy basically had no power or say in what was going on, it was just a coincidence that the monarchs of 3 nations at war (Britain, Germany and Russia) were first cousins. France very narrowly escaped this fate, Queen Victoria was considering betrothing her youngest daughter Beatrice to the son and heir of Napoleon III. Can you imagine France, Russia and Germany with monarchs who are all first cousins to George V? We can’t forget Denmark, Norway and Greece as well as the monarchs there were also first cousins of George V during ww1
Great work! It was amazing to finally see the faces of the living relatives of the Queen who are further down the line of succession. The only thing that would have made this video a masterpiece would be the notation of what number each person is currently in the line of succession to the throne. There are quite a lot of people here so I'm assuming they are the top 100 in the line of succession.
I think you are confusing the Duke of Kent with Prince Michael of Kent, it's him who looks almost exactly like King George ‼️ Oh sorry, you were talking about George VI while I was thinking of George V 🤓
Ooooohhh look at the Duke of Kent, standing straight and tall at near 90. He's not called 'LongShanks II'' for no reason. Prince Edward isn't a show-boy royal but a real power station at his duchy with an army of 250,000 strong, he's a force not to be messed with. Battle-hardened and strong-headed, the brave duke of Kent with his Edwardian sword 🗡️ can cut through every quack and buffoon in the house of commons, single-handedly and all at once. That's why the bedtime story goes; 'Why was the dragon unhappy at the dinner with Duke of Kent? Because he was the dinner'.
Featured often in the early seasons of _The Crown,_ Sir Alan Frederick "Tommy" Lascelles was of a peculiar British social class: close to being an aristocrat but not actually one. His paternal grandfather was the 4th Earl of Harewood and, as mentioned, his first cousin, the 6th Earl, married George VI's sister. Tommy in contrast was a commoner, an upper class one, but still a commoner. I don't know what the real Tommy was like but those types (the ones Princess Diana described as the "men in grey") are often the ones most fanatical about maintaining orthodoxy within the Royal system.
You can see where the Windsor close set eyes came from - Queen Mary, formerly Princess Mary of Teck. Close set eyes are still a strong feature in the family!
Thank you. I was hoping to see the queen's cousins during the funeral coverage, but very little was televised. Also looking forward to viewing the Bowes-Lyon video as there's not much information regarding cousins/family on the queen mum's side.
@Mortal Faces you do such an amazing job with all of these family trees I’m just curious how far back into your own personal family tree you have gone. Obviously, without going into the information will you say how far back you’ve gone? In any case, thank you for the work you put into these videos.
Thank you. The visuals made it all make a lot more sense. And it makes more sense about slimming down the monarchy as that is a lot of people etc to manage and keep afloat.
That was fantastic, a lot of people, do not recognise, that the Queens father had so many siblings, isn't it strange that she would have still been Queen, in the 1970's, because David/Edward VIII, had no heir
Yes, she would have reined for 50 years instead of 70. That is if David didn't turn England over to Germany during WWII as its now well known he was a Nazi sympathizer.
I have read that due to an injury from the first war there was a good chance he was infertile so yes, she was probably going to inherit the throne anyway but probably at an older age than unfortunately happened.
@@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697 As has been pointed out, he slept around. A lot. But somehow nobody managed to get pregnant to him, which is one reason they are fairly certain he was infertile.
@@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697 have read that Wallis had a botched abortion before she met David that left her unable to have children - but yes her age was also against her
May the Queen Rest In Peace. An example of someone dedicated to Public Service. Even inspired me to create a video about her life & story on my channel. Thanks for sharing this video
I have been struggling with my family tree trunks as I have a big family which is the best way to start as I have tried different places ps I love looking at how much effort you put in to find out who’s who extremely interesting 👍💯💖
I've always thought that Prince Michael of Kent looks like Victoria's grandsons, George V (UK) and Nicholas II (Russia). They all have the same large and piercing pale blue eyes while the Duke of Kent looks like George VI.
Michael looks like that not because of his descent from Victoria but likely because of his descent from Christian IX. Both George V and Nicholas II are grandsons of Christian. Michael is descended from Christian of course through George V, but his mother Marina was the daughter of another cousin, Prince Nicholas of Greece. So this is likely why he resembles Nicholas so much, he’s related on both sides.
William may have lost his brother as a working royal, but I am glad he has his six royal cousins to support him. I think it would be nice for Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie to have bigger roles... Lady Louise and her brother James too as they get older, and Peter & Zara, although they are further down the line and probably wouldn't want that. Most of the working royals are 70+... Edward and Sophie may well be the only ones still around when William and Kate become king and queen, and I'm sure they would rather their kids are not pressured into public roles too early due to a lack of any other working royals.
Wow the RF so BLESSSED to have a large family. When they were all children there never would have been a shortage of playmates !!!! I would be so proud to come from such a large CREW
Basically if you are related to any Royal Family of Europe you are related to the Queen and her family. All the Royal houses of Europe married into each other. I am mostly closely related to the Spanish, French Austrian and German lines. So we are closely related to the Queen and her family. Princess Diana was an even closer relative through the Spencer line as the Spencer line was closer to the Spanish and French lines. I have more lines of descent from the same ancestors to count. Our family also only married within the same lines for centuries on one side and then the other. They did this to keep money, land and power in the family. This is how we are related to every Royal house in Europe through direct descendants through male or female lines. Among the Spanish however a female could inherit titles easily if there were no male heirs AND they could also own their own property. The coat of arms could also be inherited by a female if there were no other male heirs in their line it did not jump to uncles or cousins unless there were no children. They also kept their OWN surnames. The Spanish also have no laws regarding who can use the family crest male or female. The crest is the emblem on top of the helmet on the coat of arms not everyone has these. I love seeing the family altogether on the balcony except Me-again and Harry of course.
I actually read some where that Edward the 8th was infertile so even if he married someone other than Wallis Simpson and stayed king he never would have had kids which means Elizabeth was always meant to be king just years later than she did.
Many of the other surviving monarchs in Europe are also cousins of Queen Elizabeth, but none are first cousins to my knowledge except Norway's King Harald who (I believe) is a first cousin once removed.
Very interesting! There was much in the news about the queen and her parents and grandparents..... It struck me out of nowhere: Didn't most/all of these people have siblings? Who & where are they? Thank you! There's quite a spread in ages in each generation. Has this resulted in any generational everlap? Ex. My mother has two first cousins (her generation) who are actually younger than I am.
I am a Bowes and I’m very interested in that portion of the line. Specifically who the first Bowes was who came to America. In that search I stumbled onto your site. I noticed that Bowes is spelled bowls at some points in your chart and I’m wondering if that is a typo or if that is true?
@@MortalFaces My great-grandfather was born in 1830. His first child was born in 1849. His youngest in 1890. The youngest two died in infancy. My grandfather was born in 1884. His oldest was born in 1917, his youngest in 1936.
You should find out an extended family tree of the iligitament children of George the vi. How do you if thats possible? Maybe more on the extended saunders family tree where does that go? Do you have any more information on here or elsewhere I could see more branches I'm looking for more current info if you have it.
The 3 current Kents are doubly related to the generation of Charles III etc as their mother Marina was a first cousin of Prince Phillip while Edward was uncle of Elizabeth II.
I worked in Jersey in 1964, a man dressed as a yacht captain would do a daily pub craw around St. Hellier, drinking whisky. He wore a pair of binoculars around his neck and would frequently scan the back of the bar with them. It was claimed he was a member of the Royal family but had been exiled to Jersey because he was an embarrassment to them. I have often wondered who he was.
They say that one of the Queen's favorite cousins was Prince William, who died in a plane crash almost 50 years ago. The current Prince William was named after him. The deceased Prince William's father was Henry, the Duke of Glouster. He was the Queen's favorite uncle. Prince Harry was named after him. Harry is a nickname the media coined. His real name is Prince Henry. William and Henry (Harry).
No joke, I love this stuff. But good lord, even I couldn’t be bothered to commit much of this to memory once it got to Prince Henry’s & Prince George’s descendants hahaha. Thank goodness there’s no quiz after this.
So Megan Markel was not the first person of colour to marry into the Royal Family. I see Lady Davina Windsor (Lewis) has two children Senna Kowhai Lewis (2010) and Tane Mahuta Lewis (2012) whose father is a New Zealand Maori hence the Maori names
Can you do a video of the Royal Family of Hawaii a friend of mine said he’s from the Royal Family in Hawaii his Great grandmother died last year in December he said something about he’s from the House of Kawananakoa or something like that
Unfortunately, the Queen’s mother, was almost the youngest child in her family, so most of her first cousins on that side are probably all passed on by now.
That 33 age difference is something but I got that beat. My only son is 4 years old and my oldest niece is only 4 years younger than me at 47. My son is the same age as her grandson. My son is a year younger than my sister's great-grandson.
Do you all imagine what would have happened if the late Queen's uncle hadn't give up the throne? Her cousins would be now the legit king/queen . The whole line of succesion would be quite different. Interesting
What about the paternal cousins of King Charles III? We all know his maternal cousins the children of Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. But what about the children of Prince Philip’s siblings and their families?
Your provision of a key to the group photograph of the members of the Royal Family at the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II, and the image itself, remind me of a very crowded painting, by Tuxen, of the Royal Family gathered for the Golden Jubilee of HM Queen Victoria! Absolutely no criticism of your exemplary research and understanding but the family pronounce Lascelles as 'L@ slz with the emphasis on 'La'. Just out of interest but not relevant here, the word 'equerry' also has an odd emphasis, in this case on the que, i.e. eh'kwerri(:)
When the Earl of Ulster and the Earl of St. Andrews inherit their titles of Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Kent respectively, they will actually no longer be members of the royal family, not entitled to the use of "Royal Highness" and will be ordinary dukes (if being a duke can be considered ordinary). In terms of official precedence, instead of being Royal Dukes and listed ahead of the other dukes, they will be listed according to the date of their titles' creation, so they will now be at the back of the pack.
Just did some genealogy on my family for an organization I am joining. I didn't know anything about my father's family but found out the earliest family member came Ireland and married Elizabeth Stuart born at Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland in 1726. Maybe the Stuart name in Scotland is as common as Smith here in the US
Ooooohhh look at the Duke of Kent, standing straight and tall at near 90. He's not called 'LongShanks II'' for no reason. Prince Edward isn't a show-boy royal but a real power station at his duchy with an army of 250,000 strong, he's a force not to be messed with.

That's why the bedtime story goes; 'Why was the dragon unhappy at the dinner with Duke of Kent? Because he was the dinner'.
It seems that Princess Mary's descendants didn't remain close to the royal family the way King George V other grandchildren Gloschesters and Kents have through the decades.
There are 2 Prince Edwards in the Royal family one is Elizabeth II's son the Earl of Wessex and Forfar the other is Elizabeth's first cousin The Duke of Kent. There is no Duke of Essex
If King Edward had still lived until 1972 and the monarchy had survived WWII and his...questionable potential alliances, and everyone else lived the same years, there would have been no George VI, Elizabeth II would have become Queen in 1972, and Charles III would still be King today. That is, assuming she still married Phillip in 1947 and had the same children afterwards.

Nicholas II was not a grandchild of Victoria his wife was. George and Nicholas were first cousins through their mothers who were sisters
Michael looks like that not because of his descent from Victoria but likely because of his descent from Christian IX. Both George V and Nicholas II are grandsons of Christian. Michael is descended from Christian of course through George V, but his mother Marina was the daughter of another cousin, Prince Nicholas of Greece. So this is likely why he resembles Nicholas so much, he’s related on both sides.
He looks like he won't see the end of the year.

Edward and Sophie may well be the only ones still around when William and Kate become king and queen, and I'm sure they would rather their kids are not pressured into public roles too early due to a lack of any other working royals.
I'll take your word for it!
You are so good!
Wow the RF so BLESSSED to have a large family. When they were all children there never would have been a shortage of playmates !!!! I would be so proud to come from such a large CREW
Well done!!!
so interesting!! Thank you!
Well done
Basically if you are related to any Royal Family of Europe you are related to the Queen and her family. All the Royal houses of Europe married into each other. I am mostly closely related to the Spanish, French Austrian and German lines. So we are closely related to the Queen and her family. Princess Diana was an even closer relative through the Spencer line as the Spencer line was closer to the Spanish and French lines. I have more lines of descent from the same ancestors to count. Our family also only married within the same lines for centuries on one side and then the other. They did this to keep money, land and power in the family. This is how we are related to every Royal house in Europe through direct descendants through male or female lines. Among the Spanish however a female could inherit titles easily if there were no male heirs AND they could also own their own property. The coat of arms could also be inherited by a female if there were no other male heirs in their line it did not jump to uncles or cousins unless there were no children. They also kept their OWN surnames. The Spanish also have no laws regarding who can use the family crest male or female. The crest is the emblem on top of the helmet on the coat of arms not everyone has these. I love seeing the family altogether on the balcony except Me-again and Harry of course.
I'd been wondering who all those people were standing on the balcony. Thank you.
Thank you for the information.
I actually read some where that Edward the 8th was infertile so even if he married someone other than Wallis Simpson and stayed king he never would have had kids which means Elizabeth was always meant to be king just years later than she did.
Have you gotten into the spanish royal familes yet? If not, I would like to see...
good video.
Very informative video 👍. From Lahore Pakistan ❤️
Wow! Thanks!
Many of the other surviving monarchs in Europe are also cousins of Queen Elizabeth, but none are first cousins to my knowledge except Norway's King Harald who (I believe) is a first cousin once removed.
Must be nice to be Prince Richard. He's a relative unknown, but has the perks of being a working Royal.
Very interesting! There was much in the news about the queen and her parents and grandparents..... It struck me out of nowhere: Didn't most/all of these people have siblings? Who & where are they? Thank you!
There's quite a spread in ages in each generation. Has this resulted in any generational everlap? Ex. My mother has two first cousins (her generation) who are actually younger than I am.
Terrific thanks
perfect , good research
I am a Bowes and I’m very interested in that portion of the line. Specifically who the first Bowes was who came to America. In that search I stumbled onto your site. I noticed that Bowes is spelled bowls at some points in your chart and I’m wondering if that is a typo or if that is true?
My nieces and nephews range in age from 16-49, my great-nieces and nephews range in age from newborn-25.
Wow that's a big gap.
@@MortalFaces My great-grandfather was born in 1830. His first child was born in 1849. His youngest in 1890. The youngest two died in infancy. My grandfather was born in 1884. His oldest was born in 1917, his youngest in 1936.
You should find out an extended family tree of the iligitament children of George the vi. How do you if thats possible? Maybe more on the extended saunders family tree where does that go? Do you have any more information on here or elsewhere I could see more branches I'm looking for more current info if you have it.
I’d like to see Richard III, hopefully you get around to him sometime , thanks
Could you please do a Video of Giacomo Casanova?
Perfectly summerised
My brain exploded. 💣🤯
The 3 current Kents are doubly related to the generation of Charles III etc as their mother Marina was a first cousin of Prince Phillip while Edward was uncle of Elizabeth II.
Thanks for this, I was wondering who that person was walking behind the Queen.
Amazing…pretty cool..
Thanks!
Adorei conhecer esses detalhes.
Thank you so much. 👍👍
I worked in Jersey in 1964, a man dressed as a yacht captain would do a daily pub craw around St. Hellier, drinking whisky. He wore a pair of binoculars around his neck and would frequently scan the back of the bar with them. It was claimed he was a member of the Royal family but had been exiled to Jersey because he was an embarrassment to them. I have often wondered who he was.
Sounds interesting 🤓
GVI was the Prince Harry of his time?? NEVER compare those two.
There's another video on this channel about the Queen's maternal side cousins.
They say that one of the Queen's favorite cousins was Prince William, who died in a plane crash almost 50 years ago. The current Prince William was named after him.
The deceased Prince William's father was Henry, the Duke of Glouster. He was the Queen's favorite uncle. Prince Harry was named after him. Harry is a nickname the media coined. His real name is Prince Henry.
William and Henry (Harry).
Harry is a normal nickname for guys named Henry.
Lmao I'm her 14th cousin once removed on my father's side.
King MattyG!! ALBA EMPIRE 🎉
No joke, I love this stuff. But good lord, even I couldn’t be bothered to commit much of this to memory once it got to Prince Henry’s & Prince George’s descendants hahaha. Thank goodness there’s no quiz after this.
So Megan Markel was not the first person of colour to marry into the Royal Family. I see Lady Davina Windsor (Lewis) has two children Senna Kowhai Lewis (2010) and Tane Mahuta Lewis (2012) whose father is a New Zealand Maori hence the Maori names
Can you please do King George the third?
There is an excellent film called The Madness of King George. Worth a look if you can get it. It stars Nigel Hawthorne.
Can you do a video of the Royal Family of Hawaii a friend of mine said he’s from the Royal Family in Hawaii his Great grandmother died last year in December he said something about he’s from the House of Kawananakoa or something like that
Unfortunately, the Queen’s mother, was almost the youngest child in her family, so most of her first cousins on that side are probably all passed on by now.
Yes. All except 2. You can check it out here on Part 2: ruclips.net/video/ngRK08NpoNo/видео.html
That 33 age difference is something but I got that beat. My only son is 4 years old and my oldest niece is only 4 years younger than me at 47. My son is the same age as her grandson. My son is a year younger than my sister's great-grandson.
I have never been so confused in my life. 😂
Duke of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Princess Alexandra of Kent, Duke of Gloucester.
third cousin through Princess
Alice of Battenburg
Do you all imagine what would have happened if the late Queen's uncle hadn't give up the throne? Her cousins would be now the legit king/queen . The whole line of succesion would be quite different. Interesting
Except her uncle and Wallis never had children. She'd still have been the queen eventually, just not until 1972 when he died.
What about the paternal cousins of King Charles III? We all know his maternal cousins the children of Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
But what about the children of Prince Philip’s siblings and their families?
They are much older than him as Prince Philip’s sisters is much older. I think his oldest cousin is born in the 1930s.
Here's prince Philip's paternal family tree: ruclips.net/video/jmvaLJJX-2Y/видео.html
Wow I really thought her dad and uncle were the only kids
What about othe European Royal related to ERII like Queen Sophie of Denmark. I just saw an interview with her. What a wonderful old woman.
the Queen of Denmark is called Margarethe
Interesting to have them all identified that were standing watching the Queen's lying in state in Westminster Hall
Your provision of a key to the group photograph of the members of the Royal Family at the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II, and the image itself, remind me of a very crowded painting, by Tuxen, of the Royal Family gathered for the Golden Jubilee of HM Queen Victoria! Absolutely no criticism of your exemplary research and understanding but the family pronounce Lascelles as 'L@ slz with the emphasis on 'La'. Just out of interest but not relevant here, the word 'equerry' also has an odd emphasis, in this case on the que, i.e. eh'kwerri(:)
You sound like my husband.
How does the Barron Jones connect to Queen Victoria's family.
When the Earl of Ulster and the Earl of St. Andrews inherit their titles of Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Kent respectively, they will actually no longer be members of the royal family, not entitled to the use of "Royal Highness" and will be ordinary dukes (if being a duke can be considered ordinary). In terms of official precedence, instead of being Royal Dukes and listed ahead of the other dukes, they will be listed according to the date of their titles' creation, so they will now be at the back of the pack.
I am an ever distant relative. Through D.N.A. I am said to be the 30th Cousin (once removed) to Queen Elizabeth II.
Hey i was wondering if you had an email? I have some royal cousins I would like to talk to you about!
Thanks!
Just did some genealogy on my family for an organization I am joining. I didn't know anything about my father's family but found out the earliest family member came Ireland and married Elizabeth Stuart born at Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland in 1726. Maybe the Stuart name in Scotland is as common as Smith here in the US
Ooooohhh look at the Duke of Kent, standing straight and tall at near 90. He's not called 'LongShanks II'' for no reason. Prince Edward isn't a show-boy royal but a real power station at his duchy with an army of 250,000 strong, he's a force not to be messed with. Battle-hardened and strong-headed, the brave duke of Kent with his Edwardian sword 🗡️ can cut through every quack and buffoon in the house of commons, single-handedly and all at once. That's why the bedtime story goes; 'Why was the dragon unhappy at the dinner with Duke of Kent? Because he was the dinner'.
It seems that Princess Mary's descendants didn't remain close to the royal family the way King George V other grandchildren Gloschesters and Kents have through the decades.
Prince Edward Duke of Essex is very much like his grandfather George 6
There are 2 Prince Edwards in the Royal family one is Elizabeth II's son the Earl of Wessex and Forfar the other is Elizabeth's first cousin The Duke of Kent. There is no Duke of Essex
so the ruling king now is not from the same family of his mother elizabith..and there is a male who are same queen elizabith family didnt rule?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Who would've been next in line had King Edward not abdicated and remained childless?
If King Edward had still lived until 1972 and the monarchy had survived WWII and his...questionable potential alliances, and everyone else lived the same years, there would have been no George VI, Elizabeth II would have become Queen in 1972, and Charles III would still be King today. That is, assuming she still married Phillip in 1947 and had the same children afterwards.
@@katwithattitude5062 Thank you. I thought it would've worked out like this.
It would still be elizabeth
🙏❤️👑🇬🇧💐💐💐💐
