This category contains the grandchildren of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, all of whom were therefore either siblings or first cousins.

• The first to be born was German Emperor William II, on 27 January 1859
• The last to be born was Prince Maurice of Battenberg, on 3 October 1891
• The last to die was Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, on 3 January 1981

Victoria and Albert had 40 grandchildren altogether, four of whom died before the age of three:

• Prince Harold of Schleswig-Holstein, son of Princess Helena, died as an infant
• Prince John Alexander of Wales, the son of Edward VII
• Prince Sigismund of Prussia, son of the Princess Royal.

• Princess Alice's hemophiliac son, Prince Frederick of Hesse, died at age of two after falling from his mother's bedroom window. He bled to death a few hours later.
