King Felipe VI of Spain has a stellar and varied royal pedigree. He is the only current European monarch to be descended from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom via three of his grandparents. His father King Juan Carlos I of Spain is descended from Queen Victoria’s youngest child Princess Beatrice whose daughter Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg married King Alfonso XIII of Spain. (Queen Victoria → Princess Beatrice → Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg → Infante Juan of Spain, Count of Barcelona → King Juan Carlos I of Spain → King Felipe VI of Spain)

Both parents of Felipe VI’s mother, born Princess Sophia of Greece, are descended from Queen Victoria’s eldest child Victoria, Princess Royal. Her father King Paul of Greece is descended through Victoria, Princess Royal’s daughter Princess Sophie of Prussia who married King Constantine I of Greece. (Queen Victoria → Victoria, Princess Royal → Princess Sophie of Prussia → King Paul of Greece → Princess Sophia of Greece → King Felipe VI of Spain).

Princess Sophia of Greece’s mother Princess Frederica of Hanover is descended through Victoria, Princess Royal’s son Wilhelm II, German Emperor, King of Prussia whose granddaughter Princess Frederica of Hanover married King Paul of Greece. (Queen Victoria→ Victoria, Princess Royal → Wilhelm II, German Emperor, King of Prussia → Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia → Princess Frederica of Hanover → Princess Sophia of Spain → King Felipe VI of Spain)

Among King Felipe VI’s ancestors in the last five generations are monarchs of Denmark, the German Empire, Greece, Prussia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. If we go back a couple more generations, there are monarchs of Austria, France, the Holy Roman Empire, and Russia.
