Victoria to queen elizabeth family tree4/14/2024 Through her great-grandmother Queen Alexandra, she is descended from the Danish royal House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, a line of the North German house of Oldenburg, one of the oldest in Europe. Through Victoria, as well as several other of her great-great-grandparents, Elizabeth is directly descended from many British royals: from the House of Stuart, from Mary, Queen of Scots Robert the Bruce, and earlier Scottish royal houses from the House of Tudor, and earlier English royal houses stretching back as far as the 7th century House of Wessex: one member of Wessex being Aethelflaed of Wessex's younger sister, Elfthryth.Īs a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, she is related to the heads of most other reigning and non-reigning European royal houses. (Other notable members of this house are King Albert II of Belgium, former King Michael of Romania and former King Simeon II of Bulgaria.) Traced as far as possible, Elizabeth's male-line ancestry stretches back to Conrad the Great of Meissen see Patrilineal descent of Elizabeth II. His father, Victoria's consort, was Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha hence Queen Elizabeth is a patrilineal descendant of Albert's family, the German princely House of Wettin. Queen Elizabeth II is the male-line great-granddaughter of Edward VII, who inherited the crown from his mother, Queen Victoria. Queen Elizabeth II present sovereign of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, is the daughter of George VI, the second-eldest son of George V and Mary of Teck and of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later Queen Elizabeth, and, after her daughter's accession to the throne, the Queen Mother), the daughter of Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and his wife, Cecilia Bowes-Lyon, Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne.
