How is the King of Spain related to Queen Elizabeth? – Spain’s former king and queen, Juan Carlos and Sofia, who are the parents of the current king Felipe VI, are great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria of England, as were both Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh.

King Felipe VI of Spain is a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth II.

Felipe, like the Queen, is a descendant of Queen Victoria through his father, former King Juan Carlos, who is the son of Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona, who was the son of Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg.

Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg was Queen Victoria’s youngest child and the daughter of Princess Beatrice.
