It always surprises me how much Viktoria Louis of Prussia looks so much like Leonor? Or I should say Leonor looks like Viktoria. They are related right? 😂

Yes indeed they are! Viktoria Louise’s daughter was Princess Frederica of Hanover who, when married, became Queen Frederica of Greece. Frederica’s daughter was Princess Sofia of Greece who, when married, became Queen Sofia of Spain. She is Leonor’s grandmother today. This makes Leonor Viktoria Louise’s Great-Great Granddaughter.

There might be a parallel of them in the future but you never know? Thank you and I hope this helps! 🤍
