Are Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip related?

Answer 1

Yes. Because they are 2nd and 3rd cousins several times removed.

The simplest way to say it is the are both great-great grandchildren of Queen Victoria (1819-1901).

Elizabeth II family line:

Edward VII (1841-1910), George V (1865-1936), George VI (1895-1952).

Edward VII was the first son of Queen Victoria and became King in 1901, upon his mother's death. After his death 9 years later, his second son George became King ( his elder son died in 1892) and ruled until his death in 1936 when his second son George VI became King. (His elder son abdicated so he could marry a divorcee). And Elizabeth is the eldest daughter of George VI.

Prince Phillip family line:

Princess Alice (1843-1878) was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria. Her eldest daughter Victoria of Hesse (1863-1950) had a daughter named Alice, Princess Alice of Battenburg (1885-1969) was a great grandchild of Queen Victoria and the mother of Prince Phillip (1921-) .

Therefore as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip are both great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria they are both related.
