Can someone explain to me how he is the ancestor of all current reigning monarchs in europe?( i dont know if this is true or false, but i did see the same in another article) 62.194.170.62 00:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

He just simply is... It's a genealogical fact. It's a matter of intermarriage that he became the most recent common ancestor of all reigning royal families today. Charles 00:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is a 6g-granddaughter, Juan Carlos I of Spain is a 7g-grandson four times over, Prince Albert II of Monaco is a 8g-grandson, Albert II of Belgium is a 6g-grandson once and a 7g-grandson thrice, Beatrix of the Netherlands is a 6g-granddaughter once and a 7g-granddaughter twice, Charles XVI Gustavus of Sweden is a 6g-, 7g- (thrice) and 8g-grandson, Harald V of Norway is a 6g-grandson once and a 7g-grandson twice, Margrethe II of Denmark is twice each a 6g-, 7g- and 8g-granddaughter, Grand Duke Henry of Luxembourg is twice a 7g-grandson and thrice a 8g-grandson, Prince Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein is a 7g-grandson... I think that's every reigning European monarch... Of course, the number with the g represents the number of "greats". Charles 00:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this villian..... is the one that took away the rightfull claim to the title Prince of Orange from William III OWN SON by Elizabeth Villiers Prince William IV Winn3317 00:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Right... Who is this particular "Wiliam IV" then? As far as I know William III had no legitimate sons. As the article says, Johan Willem Friso inherited the title according to William III's testament, but the title was also claimed by Frederick of Prussia, and France annexed the principality in 1713 anyway...
