The second son of Christian IX, Prince William, became King of Greece as George I shortly after his sister Alexandra's marriage due to this new connection with the British royal family. On 27 October 1889 his son, later Constantine I of Greece, married Sophia of Prussia, a granddaughter of Victoria, forging another union between descendants of the British queen and the Danish king.[citation needed]
In 1865 Christian IX's second daughter,
Other grandchildren became monarchs in their own right or consorts.
Christian IX was therefore the grandfather of an emperor and two kings who all married granddaughters of Victoria, one of whom (Maud of Wales) was also a granddaughter of Christian IX. In total five of his grandsons were reigning sovereigns.[citation needed]
Victoria, meanwhile, was the grandmother of an emperor, a king-emperor, four queens consort and an empress consort.[citation needed]

Other countries who fought against Germany in addition to Russia and the United Kingdom were Romania, whose queen-consort, Marie, wife of Ferdinand I, was a cousin of Wilhelm II, and Greece, whose queen-consort, Sophia, wife of Constantine I, was Wilhelm II's sister.[citation needed]

Present-day reigning descendants
The unions between descendants of Queen Victoria and of King Christian IX did not end with the First World War, despite the overthrows of both the German and Russian monarchies (along with the House of Habsburg in Austria-Hungary). On the contrary, nearly all European reigning kings and queens today are most closely related through their descent from Victoria, Christian or both.
King
Conversely, Philippe, King of the Belgians is descended from King Christian IX but not Queen Victoria, although he is a descendant of Victoria's maternal uncle (as well as her husband Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha's paternal uncle), Leopold I, King of the Belgians. Philippe's father, King Albert II, who abdicated in the summer of 2013, is a first cousin to Harald V of Norway through their grandfather Prince Carl, Duke of Västergötland, married to Princess Ingeborg of Denmark, a granddaughter of Christian IX.
To summarize:
- The Kings of Norway, Denmark, Spain and the United Kingdom are descended from both Victoria and Christian IX, with latter two having more than one line of descent from both.
- The King of Sweden is descended twice from Victoria (and from her half-sister) but not from Christian IX (although from one of his brothers).
- The King of the Belgians and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg are descended from Christian IX but not from Victoria, although they are descendants of Leopold I of the Belgians, uncle of both Victoria and Albert.
- The King of the Netherlands, Prince of Liechtenstein and Prince of Monaco are the three sovereigns of hereditary European monarchies descended from neither Victoria nor Christian IX.

Common ancestry between Victoria and Christian IX
Because so many monarchs descend from both
Thus King Christian IX of Denmark and his wife Louise of Hesse-Kassel were both second and third cousins to each other and third cousins to Queen Victoria.
