HM Queen Elizabeth II is related to Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicholevna as well as the rest of the Imperial family murdered in 1918. Most of European royalty today are descended one way or another from Queen Victoria of England or Christian IX of Denmark both known as "the grandparents of Europe".

The Queen and the late Grand Duchess are third cousins through the Queens paternal lineage. Whereas the Queens consort, Prince Philip of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Anastasia are second cousins on both his mothers side, the late Princess Andrew (Princess Alice of Battenburg) as well as through his father Prince Andrew of the Hellenes the grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark. Prince Phillips uncle, the late Lord Mountbatten was said to have kept a photograph of his first cousin, Grand Duchess Marie, Anastasia's sister in a Faberge frame next to his bedside until the day he died in 1979 when his yacht was bombed by the IRA.
