Princess Alexandra is The Queen’s cousin and a working member of the Royal Family. She is patron or president of over 100 organisations which reflect her wide-ranging interests, from the arts to health care.
Both Nicholas II and Alexandra were closely linked through blood ties to the British Royal Family. Empress Alexandra of Russia and King George V were grandchildren of Queen Victoria, also making them first cousins.
How were Nicholas and Alexandra related?
Nicholas and Alix were second cousins through a great-grandmother, Princess Wilhelmina of Baden, and they were third cousins once removed through King Frederick William II of Prussia, who was Alix’s great-great-grandfather and Nicholas’s great-great-great-grandfather.
The tsarina was Queen Victoria’s granddaughter — Philip’s great-aunt — and that meant that she shared mitochondrial DNA with Prince Philip. So Prince Philip contributed a blood sample, and his DNA was compared to that of the remains and of other family members.
