Is Queen Elizabeth II descended from the Habsburgs?

Question

Hey, I was doing some genealogy searching on line on different places, but mostly I was using wikipedia. When I clicked on "mother" or "father" starting from Elizabeth II in the little table about her, I reached all the way back to the Habsburgs on one line many centuries ago. Is this true?

Answer 1

It's quite possible since Royalty of the world used to marry each other(the Queen and the Duke are third cousins).Queen Elizabeth II is the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the Royal House of Hanover.Victoria married her children off to many European royal families...the Hapsburgs were Austrian-German-Spanish...the current Windsors have German-Danish-Scottish-English blood.

Visit http://www.royal.gov/uk and do more research on the family who is related in some way to many of the different royal houses of Europe,it's mind boggling.

Answer 2

My favorite Hapsburg was Count Rudolph IV (King Rudolph I) until I learned his army killed my all-time favorite ruler King Ottocar II of Bohemia, as I am a bohemian.

QEII is of German descent from the royal family of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.  QE II's family name was changed by King George V to Windsor during World War I (1917), because Britain was at war with Germany.

Answer 4

All the royals are related one way or another.  That gene pool is so inbred, that there MUST be Hapsburgs in there...let's see... Henrietta was French (wife of Charles I) and, yup, her mother was a Spanish Queen or princess, from the Hapsburgs, so her Grandfather would have been....check me...I'm doing this completely from memory...Felipe II, I believe.  The French and Spanish families are so massively intertwined that it's a wonder the French Royals lived to be beheaded in the late 18th!

Of course how the Stuart line crossed to the Orange line, and then to the Saxe-Coburg line...It's pretty convoluted, but there is some blood from that way.

I'm sure, if you trace from the Saxe-Coburgs there is some more direct route to the Hapsburgs.  After all, there IS a Hapsburg alive and living in England, who IS British Royalty.  Can't remember her name, but if one searches the photos of Charles and Diana's wedding, she is credited as one of the guests.
