Trivia: Which current ruler is a second cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth II?
King Philippe of Belgium
King Harald of Norway
Queen Margrethe of Denmark
King Felipe VI of Spain
The correct answer is King Harald of Norway
So why is this answer correct? : Though many European monarchies have family ties to the U.K., no current monarchy is closer to the British monarchy than Norway. Queen Elizabeth II was a second cousin to Norway’s current king, Harald V. They share the same great-grandparents, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the U.K.
