It’s literally a circle. They’re cousins. It’s insane.
If you look up Queen Elizabeth’s family tree, they’ve hidden it DEEP in Google searches, but if you look up Prince Phillip’s family tree you’ll see the circle right away.
And it gets worse lmfao because their common ancestor, Queen Victoria, has quite the family tree herself:
Two circles are seen here - one alarmingly small showing that Victoria and her husband Albert are first cousins. The bigger one shows that her own mother married her third cousin once removed, making Victoria her own mothers fourth cousin, meaning Albert was not just Victorias cousin, but also her fourth cousin once removed.
This means that Elizabeth is Philips third cousin, and his fifth cousin and his seventh cousin once removed.
royal families are outdated concepts that need to die out.
