In fact, a few of the members even share the same bloodlines!
According toRoyal Museums Greenwich, Queen Victoria had nine children.
Like King Felipe’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II was a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
In fact, Queen Sofia of Spain was a first cousin to the late Prince Philip.
It turns out that Prince Philip was also a first cousin of King Felipe’s mother.
King Paul was the son of Constantine I of Greece.
The link to the late Prince Philip?
Constantine I was his uncle, who was the older brother to Prince Andrew, Philip’s father.
Princess Kate met Prince William at the University of St. Andrews where they were both studying art history.
She was raised in a working-class family to a nurse and a journalist, and she attended public schools.
In fact, the tradition dates back to King Edward III in the medieval era.
Shortly after her death, Felipe also penned a letter to the then-Prince Charles.
Felipe also reportedly referred to Elizabeth II as “Aunt Lilibet” due to their shared blood ties.
This is due to their seemingly similar fashion choices, which may (or may not) be coincidental.
Such comparisons go as far back to 2014, when they were noted to have similar hat styles.
Since then, Kate and Letizia have also trended toward a preference for classic, tailored aesthetics.
One possible explanation lies in the loveable family photos each side submits to the public.
Since then, Kate and William have had two other children.
Princess Charlotte was born shortly after her brother George in 2015.
The youngest, Prince Louis, was born in 2018.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia have two daughters.
Princess Leonor is their eldest daughter, who was born in 2005.
Their youngest daughter, Princess Sofia, was born in 2007.
One recent event was the prestigious tennis tournament at Wimbledon in 2023.
The match King Felipe got to see was between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Alcaraz, who is also from Spain like King Felipe, ended up winning.
“King Felipe, I am really proud that you are here supporting me.”
Perhaps more importantly, King Felipe was able to reacquaint himself with his British royal friends and distant cousins.
This summer 2023 event was also Princess Charlotte’s official Wimbledon debut.
