Queen Elizabeth II has the typical royal pedigree from her father’s side of the family (the top half of each list below) with one exception. Her great-great-grandfather Duke Alexander of Württemberg made a morganatic or unequal marriage to Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde, depriving their children of their paternal royal titles, status, and inheritance. In 1863, their children were all elevated by Duke Alexander’s first cousin King Wilhelm I of Württemberg to the rank of Prince and Princess of Teck.
Queen Elizabeth II’s mother was the first non-royal consort since the reign of King Henry VIII. From her mother’s side of the family (the bottom half of each list below), there are several peers and children of peers but there are also some common folk who in their wildest dreams could never have imagined that one of their descendants would be a reigning monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip, born a Prince of Greece and Denmark, has an impressive royal pedigree that includes British, Danish, Greek, Prussian, and Russian monarchs, in addition to rulers from German principalities, duchies, and grand duchies. Indeed, it is more royal than the royal pedigree of his wife Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. See Unofficial Royalty: Ancestors of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
