    Hi Orange, here it is.

    Europe
    The royal couples listed here are but a small representation of the innumerable cousins of varying degrees who have married between royal or noble houses.




    Prince Alexander of Teck (great grandson of George III) and his second cousin once removed, Princess Alice of AlbanyOutside Europe

    Quote I wonder what the divorce rate was like, and how many children they had on average
    Dont think the royals until recently could get divorced. they just kept the extras in relative secrecy. How many kids........ legitimate or illegitimate??? How I loathe that terminology!!!
