Prince Philip, who died on Friday at the age of 99, was not only related to Queen Elizabeth the II by marriage. They were also related by blood. Elizabeth and Philip were great-great grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
Victoria and Prince Albert had a son, Edward VII, followed by grandsons Prince Albert Victor and George V. After Albert Victor died of an illness, George became successor to the throne. He then had two sons -- Edward VIII followed by George VI. But Edward abdicated the throne to marry American Wallis Simpson. So, George VI became king and his daughter, Elizabeth II, succeeded him as queen.
