Is Diana, Princess of Wales Related to Empress Alexandra?

[myhusbandswife]

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I hope I don't anger anyone. It's my first time here and it's a little confusing!:P
I have been devouring anything I can find on Nicholas and Alexandra since 1998. I can't get enough. I think what really captures me is the love and respect they had for one another. Not many people find that kind of love and respect, especially in Royal families. Anyways, I was just wondering something..Was Princess Diana related to Alexandra in anyway? I thought that I had read it some where and now can't find it. Thank you so much in advance..and again, sorry if this is not in the right forum. God Bless.

No they're not me thinks.... but Prince Charles is, naturally

Well, actually there is a very distant relationship, as Diana was desc. from the Stuart kings, thru several illegitimate lines.

She was descended from 4 illegitimate sons of Charles II and an illegitimate dau. of James II.  I followed one line out of curiosity, it seems in that case they were 9th cousins, once removed.  Pretty distant, but they were related.

I knew that prince Charles was related with Alexandra, but I didn't know that
Diana was related too, very interesting!

Quite long, eh, but well, it's amazing they are related.

Diana and Alexandra related. For the Charles to be was naturally, but I'm a bit surprised Diana was too - but if you look at it it always was possible. After all, Diana has descended from Noble Houses. See what a thing we learn time and time again.
