What do you think about Queen Elizabeth II being third cousin of the late Prince Philip, do you find this to be true?

ANSWERS: 3

Professor Yaffle

Yes, this is true. Historically the European royal families tended to marry into each other for political or strategic reasons, also to keep the bloodline "royal." Philip was a prince in the Greek royal family but also related to the British, German, Danish & Russian royals. He and Queen Elizabeth are both great-great grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

It means that the data has been there for well over 100 years, that yes, it is fine to date a cousin. The science proved it was fine a long long time ago.

They are distantly related to each other, which is okay.
