Sofia looks SO much like her 1st cousin 5 times removed, Prince Charles Edward Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, and his daughter Sybilla (current mother of King Carl XVI Gustafson of Sweden!)

Hi! May I ask how are they related??

Yes of course!

So Sofia’s grandmother is Queen Sofia of Spain aka Princess Sofia of Greece (before marriage), her mother was of German blood and her name was Princess Frederica, Sofia’s Great-Grandmother. Frederica’ mother was named Princess Victoria-Louise of Prussia and was Sofia’s Great-Great-Grandmother. Victoria-Louise’s father was Kaiser Wilhelm II, Sofia’s Great-Great-Great-Grandfather. Wilhelm’s 1st cousin (for example: Prince William and Princess Beatrice of the UK) was Prince Charles Edward of Saxe Coburg and Gotha through his mother’s (German Empress Victoria aka Victoria Princess Royal) brother Prince Leopold Duke of Albany (whose son was Charles Edward. Because Charles Edward and Wilhelm were 1st cousins, that makes Victoria Louise and Sybilla (Charles Edward’s daughter) 2nd cousins since their parents were first cousins. Charles Edward was therefore 5 times removed from Sofia, and Sybilla was 4 times removed.

Here is a quick family tree (not my best work but I tried lol)

I hope this helps and thank you for asking!

Queen Elizabeth II death: Who is in the Queen's family tree?

The House of Windsor, as we understand it nowadays, started in 1917 whilst its own circle of relatives modified its call from the German "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha." Queen Elizabeth's grandfather, King George V, became the primary Windsor monarch. Meanwhile, it is essential; that the royals we see today are the descendants of King George and Queen Mary.

Queen Elizabeth's grandmother Queen Mary turned into a royal through birth; her great-grandfather turned into King George III. Edward, the eldest son of George V and Queen Mary, became King after her father's loss of life in 1936 which threw the country into crisis months later when he proposed to Wallis Simpson, an American divorced socialite.

There was no split between church and state at that time. As a result, Edward was the head of the Church of England, which at the time, divorced people were not allowed to remarry, and thus his marriage was opposed.

After only one year on the throne, Edward III voluntarily abdicated the throne addressing the nation on the radio with these words; "I have found it impossible to carry on the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge the duties of the king, as I would wish to do, without the help and support of the woman I love."

His more youthful brother, the duke of York, was proclaimed King George VI on December 12.

The Queen became the 6th lady to ascend the British throne in February 1952, after his father, King George IV, passed away. She served the British monarchy for over 70 years.

Following Queen Elizabeth II death at 96, her eldest son immediately ascends the throne as the King of the British monarchy, putting his eldest son, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, first in line to the throne.

Regarding marital relationships, Queen Elizabeth married her third cousin, Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in November 1947, who both were Queen Victoria's great-great-grandchild.

Queen Elizabeth had only sibling sister, Princess Margret, Countess of Snowdown, who died in 2002.

Among her children, Prince Charles was the prospective heir to the throne at the age of three and married Princess Diana from 1981 to 1996, with whom they had two children; Prince William and Harry.

Princess Diana's death was caused by a car crash in France's Capital, Paris, along with the Egyptian film producer Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul.

Prince William, Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, heir apparent to the British throne, married Catherine Elizabeth Middleton in 2011 at West minster Abbey. The couples have three children together; Prince George, 9; Princess Charlotte, 7; Prince Louis, 4.

Prince Harry, real name (Henry Albert David), was born September 15, 1984, a member of the British royal family and fifth to the line of successors to the British throne. He underwent Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in 2018 at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Under the protocols started by King George V in 1917, the youngsters and grandchildren of a sovereign have to be automatically called Her Royal Highness or His Royal Highness (HRH) and prince or princess.

According to the British media reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is now technically a prince following the demise of the Queen- a name which Meghan controversially claimed became formerly denied to him due to the race he belongs to.

His more youthful sister, Lilibet` Lili' Mountbatten-Windsor, is likewise entitled to be a princess following the demise of the Queen and, together with her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, turning into King.

Other close relative includes Prince Andrew, Duke of York, 62, the third of the Queen's four children and nine to the throne. He served in the British Royal Navy for 22 years, and during the Falklands War, he served as a helicopter pilot.

Princess Beatrice, 10th in the line of succession to the British throne, married real estate developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a non-public rite in July 2020.

Princess Eugenie, the younger York sister as described royally, is the 12th in the line of succession after her cousin Prince Harry.

The Queen's next of Kin also consists of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, Prince Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor, and Anne, Princess Royal, among many other ascendants and descendants.

In The Atlantic: "Among the challenges Prince Philip faced in becoming Queen Elizabeth's consort was carving out a new masculinity—but he tackled it anyway, @helenlewis writes"

https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1380607799118467073?s=20

Helen Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic, author of "Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights", and a presenter on BBC Radio 4's The Spark.

Like other members of the British Royal Family, Prince Philip’s reputation is now defined by his portrayal in The Crown: a stern father, a reluctant consort, a man’s man who struggled to play second fiddle to his wife. It could be worse.

The Queen’s husband has died two months short of his 100th birthday, and his death inevitably invites comparisons between the world he was born into and the one he has left behind. He was born a prince on the island of Corfu, in the line of succession to both the Greek and Danish thrones, but his uncle, King Constantine I of Greece, abdicated when Philip was just a year old, and the family had to escape to France. (The baby Philip was famously carried away from his home in a fruit box.) His four elder sisters all married German princes, and he saw them only sporadically as he was raised at boarding schools. His mother was committed to a mental institution when he was 9, and later joined a religious order.

The First World War had already created an awkward distance between the British royals and their German cousins: George V renounced all his German titles in 1917, and the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas became the Windsors. The outbreak of hostilities against Nazi Germany two decades later prompted another schism in the royal families of Europe. The Queen’s uncle, the former Edward VIII, was known to be sympathetic to the Nazis, and so was dispatched to the Bahamas for the duration of the war. Philip had been educated in Germany until the Jewish founder of his school fled the Nazis, moved to Scotland, and set up a new boarding school called Gordonstoun. Philip followed him there, and when the call came, the prince served in the British navy.

This fractured youth left Philip restless, isolated, and independent. When he married Princess Elizabeth, in 1947, his German relatives were not invited to the ceremony. Still, the match looked to be perfect: Back then, tradition held that an heir to the British throne should not marry a “commoner.” Philip was not just royal, but handsome and brave. And unlike the man Elizabeth’s sister, Margaret, fell in love with, he had not been married before.

He was also a man who had to take second place to his wife—a phenomenon experienced by more and more men as the 20th century wore on, but still an unusual one. Even today, less than a third of men in straight couples earn less than their wives, and less than 3 percent of men take their wife’s surname on marriage. At their wedding ceremony, Princess Elizabeth had promised to “love, honour, and obey” Philip, but she was adamant that the Windsors would remain the Windsors, rather than becoming the Edinburghs. (Philip renounced his Greek and Danish titles before the wedding, and was granted the British title of Duke of Edinburgh.) He felt this humiliation acutely, once describing himself as a mere “amoeba.” When Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, it meant the end of his career in the navy. He was a kept man, a consort, No. 2 in the pecking order.

Philip was partly mollified by his wife’s decision to defer to him on family matters, although that sometimes had poor consequences. He chose to send Prince Charles, his eldest son, to his beloved Gordonstoun. But the sensitive Charles hated the dour, disciplinarian Scottish school. Indeed, the parenting styles of the Royal Family reflect a broader shift in upper-class British attitudes toward children: Like the Queen’s cut-glass accent, they have softened over the years. Once the belief was that children needed to toughen up, that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Now Charles’s sons, William and Harry, are pictured hugging their children. It’s hard to imagine who would have hugged the young Philip, alone in a strange land, with an absent father and troubled mother.

The latest season of The Crown focused on the relationship between the Queen and Britain’s first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher. The untold story is that of Thatcher’s husband, Denis. Like Prince Philip, he faced a challenge few alpha males had confronted before: How would a traditionally minded man cope with the very nontraditional role of support act to his wife? Denis found solace in sports. He was a rugby referee for many years, and then turned to golf. Meetings at the prime minister’s country residence, Chequers, would be interrupted by the sound of Denis using the lawn as a putting green. He carved a new type of masculine persona, in contrast to his wife’s bluebottle diligence: supremely relaxed, self-assured, a man who enjoyed a drink and a fast car.

Philip found that challenge harder, but he applied himself to it. In 1956, he founded the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, which was designed to teach young people self-reliance. Medals were given for serving one’s community, starting a business, or trekking for miles across Britain’s rainiest moors, armed only with a map and compass. Sent around the world as a representative of Britain, Philip became known for puncturing pompous diplomatic events with aristocratic bluntness. He developed a reputation for what were then referred to as “gaffes,” but what we would now call casual racism. (“If you stay here much longer you’ll all be slitty-eyed,” he told a group of British students in China in 1986, and while looking at an electrical circuit a few years later, he remarked: “It looks as if it was put in by an Indian.”) When I was growing up in the 1990s, this was the popular perception of Philip: Britain’s Poshest Racist. He was a staple target of left-wing comedians and a hero to those who felt that “political correctness” was going too far. Even now, Amazon is full of books with titles such as Do You Still Throw Spears at Each Other?: 90 Years of Glorious Gaffes From the Duke.

His reputation has improved since then, because he took the Denis Thatcher route: a vow of silence. Philip gave up many of his royal duties on his 90th birthday, in 2011, and retired entirely from public life in 2017. By then, he had completed 22,219 solo royal engagements. At the time of his death, he and Queen Elizabeth II had been married for 73 years. He might have been a reluctant consort, but he was also an energetic one. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who conducted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding ceremony, recently described royal duties as a “life sentence without parole,” and Britain came to respect Philip’s decades of public service.

Once the initial, respectful tributes are over, Philip’s reputation will be as contested as that of Britain’s great wartime prime minister, Winston Churchill, whose early colonial career makes for uncomfortable reading. Philip was a man of his age. He was born into a world of deference and tradition that no longer exists: Greece has been a republic since 1973, while the heir to the Danish throne is married to an Australian marketing consultant. In 1937, the 16-year-old Philip walked through German streets for his sister’s funeral as onlookers gave Nazi salutes. His grandson Harry, meanwhile, married a biracial American actor, moved to California, and launched a podcast.

The 20th century was a hell of a ride, and one in which men’s expectations for their lives changed as dramatically as women’s. No one encapsulated that quite as strangely, or as remarkably, as a man who lived for nearly a century himself.

Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (18 January 1908 – 28 November 1972) was a member of the Swedish royal family and the mother of the current King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf.

Born into the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Sibylla was the daughter of Charles Edward, the last duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She became a Swedish princess when she married Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten in 1932. She thus had the prospect of one day becoming queen consort of Sweden, but the prince was killed in an airplane crash in 1947 and did not live to ascend the Swedish throne. Sibylla thus never became Crown Princess or Queen herself since her husband died before his father and his grandfather King Gustav V. Nor did she live to see her son become king of Sweden in 1973.

ADOLPHUS CAMBRIDGE

1st Marquess of Cambridge

(born 1868 - died 1927)

picured above is a portrait of the Duke of Teck, by Fülöp de László from 1906

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

SERIES - Descendants of the Monarchs of Ireland: Adolphus was a great-grandson of George III, King of the United Kingdom, the King of Ireland from 1760.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

ADOLPHUS CHARLES ALEXANDER ALBERT EDWARD GEORGE PHILIP LOUIS LADISLAUS was born in 1868, at Kensington Palace in London. He was the eldest son of Franz, Duke of Teck and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, and thus a PRINCE OF TECK from birth.

Besides having German roots the TECK FAMILY (being a morganatic cadet branch of the House of Württemberg) lived in London where his mother received an annuity and had been granted apartments in Kensington Palace by her cousin Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

From an early age he entered in the service of the Royal Army and served in the regiment of his uncle George, Duke of Cambridge.

His older sister Princess Victoria Mary married George, Duke of York in 1893 and the next year the Prince of Teck married Lady MARGARET EVELYN, the youngest daughter of Hugh Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster and his first wife Lady Constance Sutherland-Leveson-Gower. With her he had four children.

Around 1899/1900 he was sent to fight in the Second Boer War in Africa, where his wife and sister-in-laws visited him.

He succeeded his father as DUKE OF TECK in 1900, a title in the Kingdom of Württemberg.

In 1910 his brother-in-law succeeded in the United Kingdom as King George V, and by 1914 he also made him Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle.

Between 1914-16 he resumed his Army career to fight in World War I but his health forced him to retire early.

During the War there were heavy anti-German feelings in the United Kingdom and the King decided to ban the use of German titles in Britain. This decision also led to many families to abandon their German family names. The Royal Family changed their House name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor, and the TECKS became CAMBRIDGE in honour of their grandfather the late Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge.

At the King's order British nobles renounced their German titles in 1917 and for a brief period the former Duke of Teck became known as Sir ADOLPHUS CAMBRIDGE. But the King soon created him as MARQUESS OF CAMBRIDGE, EARL OF ELTHAM and VISCOUNT NORTHALLERTON

After the War ended, he and his wife settled in the English countryside near Shrewsbury, where the Marquess of Cambridge died in 1927, aged 59.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

Lord George Cambridge, his eldest son, succeeded in his British titles. And as his other son Lord Frederick died in 1940, fighting in World War II, the Teck/Cambridge family became extinct in 1981 with the death of Lord George without heirs.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

Check my posts about ADOLPHUS' ancestors and his connections to the Monarchs of Ireland!

In a span of four generations ADOLPHUS was related to the Monarchs of Ireland through his mother…

His mother was Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambrigde.

His grandfather was Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge.

His great-grandfather was George III, King of the United of Kingdom - the King of Ireland between 1760-1800/01.
