Oops, I did miscount the generations. Charles’s great-great-grandfather was Edward VII.
And some research on the net indicates that Prince Philip, Charles’s father, is descended from Queen Vickie via her daughter Alice.
Yes. Queen Victoria is a great-great grandmother to both Prince Philip and the Queen. Philip’s grandfather, Louis Mountbattern, married one of Victoria’s granddaughters, according to this site.
I’ve looked on Google News and found, first, that the pick-up line Camilla used on Charles was “My great-grandmother was your great-great-grandfather’s mistress so how about it?” Also, that great-great grandfather of his was Edward VII and her great grandmother was Alice Keppel.
Well, that’s one way to carry on a family tradition! :dubious:
In order for her not to be Queen an act of parliament would be needed, but only in the UK or in every commonwealth realm? And correct me if I’m but Queen Elizabeth II can deny her the title Princess of Wales by letters patent. The rule about women automatically taking the female form of their husbands titles has been changed in the past (Her Grace the Duchess of Windsor).
