Interesting Line of Shared Descent Between Descendants of Queen Victoria and her half-siblings

There are quiet a few European royals who are descended from Queen Victoria and her two siblings, Carl of Leiningen and Feodora of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. Some are descended from Carl and Victoria, while some are also descended from Feodora and Victoria.

This is how the three dynasties (Leiningen, Hohenlohe-Langenburg- Windsor) have remained genealogically close.

I believe that only the Leiningen are the ones who descend from Queen Victoria, Fürstin Feodora of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Fürst Carl of Leiningen.



Shared Descent from the three children of the Duchess of Kent:

Carl (1804-1856), Queen Victoria's half-brother – Ernst (1830-1904) – Emich (1866-1939) who married Feodora's granddaughter Feodora – Karl (1898-1946) who married Queen Victoria's great-granddaughter – Emich (1926-1991) – Andreas (b. 1955) who married Alexandra Hannover, a great-great-great granddaughter of Queen Victoria.



Shared Descent from both Feodora and Victoria:


Feodora (1807-1872), Queen Victoria's half-sister – Hermann (1832-1913) – Ernst II (1863-1950) who married Queen Victoria's granddaughter Alexandra Edinburgh – Gottfried (1897-1960) who married Queen Victoria's great-great-granddaughter Margarita Greece – Kraft (1935-2004) – Philipp (b. 1970)

Victoria (1819-1901) – Alfred (1844-1900) – Alexandra (1878-1942) – Gottfried (1897-1960) – Kraft (1935-2004) – Philipp (b. 1970)

Victoria (1819-1901) – Alice (1843-1878) – Victoria (1863-1950) – Alice (1885-1969) – Margarita (1905-1981) – Kraft (1935-2004) – Philipp (b. 1970)

Victoria (1819-1901) – Victoria (1840-1901) – Wilhelm II (1859-1941) – Viktoria Luise (1892-1980) – Ernst August (1914-1987) – Alexandra (b. 1959) – Ferdinand (b. 1982), Olga (b. 1984), Herman (b. 1987)

These connections will be the core of a book that I started working on, VICTORIAN LEGACY – The Longstanding Links Between The House of Windsor and the Princes of Hohenlohe-Langenburg From Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II.
