Elizabeth II and Haakon VII were 1st cousins, twice removed through Christian IX of Denmark. Haakon's wife Maud was also related to Elizabeth II, as Maud was Elizabeth's great-aunt through Edward VII.

Beautiful post! Yes Monarchy is a sacred institution. God Himself says: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's".
