Of the fifth generation, 1 is Dutch, and 15 are German, and one is a sovereign monarch. The King of the Netherlands is not closely related to any other European monarch - in the late nineteenth century, the Dutch royal family almost died out, and WIlhelmina was the sole surviving offspring of her father, and herself only had one child. No 28 also appears in the fifth generation of Margrethe II of Denmark. WIllem-Alexander is the only monarch in Europe not descended from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, or Christian IX of Denmark. The average age of the fifth generation is 69 - but three of his grandparents lived into their nineties, so he has good genes.
