How the last Russian Dynasty were related to European Monarchies (current and former):

The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (Royal Dynasty of Denmark) and the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov (Imperial Dynasty of Russia) were more commonly related, their ancestors being Louis VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, Frederick Eugene II, Duke of Württemberg, Emperor Paul I of Russia, King Christian X of Denmark, and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

Is there any way that a royal could be named as the heir to an entirely different countries kingdom?

Yes, it happened a bunch. Leopold I of Belgium was offered the throne of not only Belguim but Greece. George I of Greece was originally, Prince William of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg of Denmark (which is why the Greek royals are styled of Greece and Denmark).

The Family <3

emperor Franz Joseph Of Austria And King Of Hungary (1816-1905)

age: 35

height: 6’4

birthday: 18th august

early life:

Franz Joseph was born on 18 August 1816 in the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna (on the 65th anniversary of the death of Francis of Lorraine) as the eldest son of Archduke Franz Karl (the younger son of Francis I), and his wife Sophie, Princess of Bavaria. Because his uncle, reigning from 1835 as the Emperor Ferdinand, was disabled by seizures, and his father unambitious and retiring, the mother of the young Archduke "Franzi" brought him up as a future emperor, with emphasis on devotion, responsibility and diligence.

Empress Alexandra Of Austria, Queen Of Hungary (1816-1907)

age: 35

height: 5’10

birthday: 8th March

Early Life:

Princess Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia, or "Alix", as her immediate family knew her, was born at the Yellow Palace, an 18th-century town house at 18 Amaliegade, immediately adjacent to the Amalienborg Palacecomplex in Copenhagen.[1] Her father was Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and her mother was Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel.[2] She had five siblings: Frederick, William (later George I of Greece), Dagmar (later Empress of Russia), Thyra and Valdemar.

Her father's family was a distant cadet branch of the Danish royal House of Oldenburg, which was descended from King Christian III. Although they were of royal blood,[a] the family lived a comparatively modest life. They did not possess great wealth; her father's income from an army commission was about £800 per year and their house was a rent-free grace and favour property. Occasionally, Hans Christian Andersen was invited to call and tell the children stories before bedtime.

Maria Feodorovna (26 November 1847 – 13 October 1928), known before her marriage as Princess Dagmar of Denmark, was Empress of Russia from 1881 to 1894 as the wife of Emperor Alexander III.

She was the second daughter of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel.

Maria's eldest son became the last Russian monarch, Emperor Nicholas II.

Maria lived for 10 years after Bolshevik functionaries murdered Nicholas and his immediate family in 1918.

PSA: Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was historically white and only ONE historian falsely claimed differently. He was already refuted by various actual historians who know what they are doing. I don't care if the show is set in a more "diverse" fictional version of Regency England either!

You wouldn't want Martin Luther King to be played by a white actor either. So be respectful of historical people!

Both British and Danish royal families have their routes in the Dynasty Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.

I am not a Monarchy Expert, but I do know that the majority of the European monarchy has its roots in the german Monarchy.
