Anyway ... back to the topic. The Queen and Prince Philip were cousins.

They were 3rd cousins, through their great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria; too distant to cause issues with inbreeding.

"Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II were cousins through Queen Victoria.

Philip's mother, Princess Alice, was born in 1885 in the presence of her great-grandmother Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, according to Town & Country. Windsor Castle — where Prince Philip's mother was born in the 19th century — is where the duke died.

Prince Philip was related to Queen Victoria as a great-great-grandson through his maternal side, and his future wife was related to the same queen through her paternal family.

King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, was a great-grandson of Queen Victoria.

That made Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth third cousins."

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT QUEEN VICTORIA who is their common ancestor.

Victoria married her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840. Their children married into royal and noble families across the continent, earning Victoria the sobriquet "the grandmother of Europe" and spreading haemophilia in European royalty.

Oh dear 🥺

Princess Alice may be of interest to you as she married Prince Andrew of Greece - hence Prince Philip was born Greek.
