1. Which of the following is NOT descended from Queen Victoria more than once?

Answer: Queen Elizabeth II

Yes, Queen Elizabeth is descended from Queen Victoria only one time through. Pavlos of Greece is descended from Victoria three times through (his mother, Anne- Marie, was born a Princess of Denmark and his father is descended twice through Victoria the Princess Royal). Georg Friedrich is descended from Queen Victoria via Victoria, the Princess Royal and Prince Alfred, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Victoria is descended twice over from Prince Leopold, the Duke of Albany and Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught.

2. In 1994, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg married Sibilla Weiller. What child of Queen Victoria is Sibilla descended from?

Answer: Princess Beatrice

Sibilla's mother is the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria via Princess Beatrice's daughter Victoria Eugenie, who married the King of Spain.

3. How many grandchildren did the Queen and the Prince Consort have in all?

Answer: 42

Out of nine children, Victoria and Albert had 42 grandchildren, it's true! That's an average of 4.6 grandchildren per child. Nowadays, the average amount of children per family in the US is two!

4. How many of Queen Victoria's grandchildren became reigning monarchs?

Answer: Four

Yup, there was at some point four monarchs that were all first cousins. They were: George V of the United Kingdom, Wilhelm II the German Emperor, Carl Eduard the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Ernest Louis the Grand Duke of Hesse. Talk about funny family reunions!

5. Prince Henri, Count of Paris is descended from Queen Victoria.

Answer: False

Nope, Prince Henri, Count of Paris and Orleanist claimant to the French throne is not descended from her. However, his "opponent", Prince Louis-Alphonse, Duke of Anjou is. Louis-Alphonse is descended from Queen Victoria via her granddaughter, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenburg.

Answer: they are her great-great-great grandchildren

We'll wait for a minute so you can recover from shock. I know, it's amazing that those seven men and woman are ALL the same level of descent from Vicky. This just proves how much Queen Victoria was the Grandmother of Europe.

7. Who was the first of Victoria's descendants to die?

Answer: Prince Sigismund of Prussia

Sigismund was indeed the first to die; he died on September 15th, 1866. He was only one Prince Frederick of Prussia, making him the grandson of Victoria and Albert. A mere 115 years later, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone died. She was the last grandchild of Victoria and Albert to die, at the ripe young age of 97.

8. What one of Victoria's children had the most children?

Answer: Victoria, the Princess Royal and Empress Frederick of Prussia

Vicky and Fritz had eight children: Wilhelm, Charlotte, Henry, Sigismund, Viktoria, Waldemar, Sophie, and Margaret.

9. What descendant of Queen Victoria is the namesake of the Canadian province of Alberta?

Answer: Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll

Princess Louise Caroline ALBERTA married the Marquis of Lorne (later the Duke of Argyll) in 1871. Lorne became Governor General of Canada in 1878. The couple had no children.

10. Queen Victoria wanted all of her male-line descendants to carry the name Victoria or Albert.

Answer: True

It's true, but not all of them did. Poor Victoria. I'll direct you to this site for who actually did carry that name.
