is king henry VII related to queen elizabeth II?

Answer 1

All the European Royal Families are interbred and therefore you could trace any lineage if you so wished.

Elizabeth 2 is not really a direct decendant of Henry 7, but with twists and turns in the family tree it could be proven that she is .

My son went to school with a boy whose surname was Tudor, and he was a direct descendant, but was just an ordinary working class boy. But his lineage was direct.

Even Princess Diana had a more direct lineage to the throne. Which makes Wills and Harry have more right to the throne than their father in theory!

In fact we could all probably be traced back to some monarchy or another if we tried and searched hard enough!

So the answer is no, not really!

Answer 2

Yes. Elizabeth II is a direct descendant of Henry VII. Here is the line of descent:

Elizabeth II
George VI
George V
Edward VII
Victoria
Edward Duke of Kent
George III
George II
George I
Sophia von Wittlesbach
Frederick V of Bavaria
Princess Elizabeth Stuart
James VI of Scotland/I of England
Mary Stuart (Mary Queen of Scots)
James V
Princess Margaret Tudor of England
Henry VII of England

Answer 3

From what I can map out, she is the great^14 granddaughter of Henry VII. The monarchy twisted and turned a bit to other branches of the family at times so the crown wasn't directly passed down, but she is a direct descendent.

Answer 4

It is completely astonishing that so many wrong answers can be posted when the correct information is easily available on several web sites.

Since Henry VII's time, every monarch of England or the United Kingdom has been one of his direct descendants, including Elizabeth II who is his great-great- . . . -great-grand-daughter.

Answer 5

Yes she is.

The law of succession states the monarch must be a Protestant descendant of James 1 so, although the Stuart line ended with the death of Queen Anne, the first Hanovarian King, George 1, was also the great-grandson of James 1.

Queen Victoria was the last Hanovarian monarch, the name changing to Saxe-Coburg-Gotha when she married Prince Albert and later to Windsor by an act of declaration by George V and continues to be so to the present day.

Answer 6

Yes she is. Even though the Tudor dynasty died out, the throne passed to James I of England (VI of Scotland) who was a great-great-grandson of Henry VII. Again, when the Stuart line died out, the throne passed to George I who was a great-grandson of James I. She can trace her ancestry back to Egbert, commonly regarded as the first King of England.

Answer 8

Yes she is related to Henry VII, but she is not his direct descendant. His direct line died out with Elizabeth I.

Henry VII's sister Mary was the great great great great great great grandmother of King George I and he was the great great great great great great great great grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II.

Answer 9

Queen Elizabeth was the Niece of the King. Because her uncle I guess he married a divorced woman, he lost his turn and the Royal had to turn to the first born child from the order in the family and they chose Elizabeth and made her the Was after the King Henry

Answer 10

No. Henry was the first tudor monarch and Elizabeth II is of the house of Windsor formerly the house of Saxe Coburg Gotha.
