- junar 4y agoYeah, it gets a bit confusing when you add in the German Emperor, Wilhelm II. * George V and Nicholas II share Christian IX of Denmark as a common grandparent * George V and Wilhelm II share Victoria as a common grandparent * Nicholas II and Wilhelm II are more distantly related to each other (second cousins once-removed through Frederick William III of Prussia)
