Queen Victoria's parents were not next in line for the throne because her father, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, was the fourth son of King George III. As a result, he had a lower claim to the throne compared to the older sons and their descendants. After George III's death, the line of succession passed through his elder sons, ultimately leading to Victoria's ascension after the deaths of her uncles and the lack of surviving legitimate heirs. Thus, Victoria became queen in 1837 despite her parents' relatively distant claim to the throne.

Are Queen Victoria and King Juan Carlos of Spain relatives?

Yes, they are relatives. Queen Victoria's youngest daughter Beatrice married Prince Henry of Battenberg in 1885. Their eldest daughter Victoria-Eugenie married King Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1906. One of the sons of Alfonso XIII and Victoria-Eugenie was Juan, Count of Barcelona, which is the father of Juan Carlos I. As a result, King Juan Carlos is a great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria and the 499 number in the line of succession to the British throne, though he can't accede it as he was raised a Catholic.
