They were first cousins through marriage. Kaiser Wilhelm II mother, Vicky, was a daughter of Queen Victoria of England. Nicholas II was not descended from Queen Victoria himself but his wife Alexandra was the daughter of Queen Victoria's daughter, Alice.

They were also more distant cousins in blood because Paul I of Russia was great-great grandfather of both.

Also both Kaiser Wilhelm and Czar Nicholas had a cousin in common- King Geoge V of England, however they were each related to him in different ways. Nicholas' mother, Dagmar of Denmark, and George's mother, Alexandra of Denmark, were sisters. George's father, Edward VII of England, and Wilhelm's mother, Vicky, were brother and sister - children of Queen Victoria.
