Their differences were they were enemies, had different religions Philip had a tenous claim to the English throne via a marrriage to Mary and Elizabeth defended her crown that culminated in the Armada when Philip 2 set his sights on England ready to defeat us. Actually he lost because of (a) bad weather (b) his galleons were top heavy . Ours were smaller and therefore far more maneoverable.
Actually as royalty goes they did not have a lot in common at all.

Well, they were both monarchs of nations that were to battle each other in the English Channel. Her navy was outnumbered by Philip's Spanish Armada. However, the English navy won.
Some say that they used fire ships; I've heard another explanation (by my 8th grade history teacher) that the ships in the 250-ship Spanish fleet were too heavy (cannons and stuff) and the 135-150 English ships were lighter and made it easier to maneuver.
However, England became very close to getting successfully invaded by Spain during that time. Still, to this day, England has not been successfully invaded since 1066.

She isn't descended from Elizabeth I as Elizabeth I by no potential married and had no toddlers, she is descended from Elizabeth I's grandfather, Henry VII, she will't be descended from Henry VIII as his line is extinct (all 3 of his surviving valid toddlers died without toddlers of their very own). She is descended on the instant from maximum Kings of britain and Kings of Scotland. She is descended from all yet 4 of the Monarchs of great Britain and the united kingdom considering that 1707(Anne, George IV, William IV and Edward VIII). @Darrin - Elizabeth II's mom and father have been George VI and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (aka Queen Elizabeth, The Queen mom).

They were both monarchs, they were both distant cousins(being both descended from John of Gaunt), and they were siblings in law due to Elizabeth's sister, Queen Mary I , being married to Philip from 1554 to her death in 1558.

They were both related to Mary Tudor. Elizabeth was her half-sister and Philip was her husband.
