Are and how are King Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria of the
United Kingdom related????

Both descended directly from King George I of Great Britain: I believe
he was their nearest common ancestor (interestingly enough, he was also
a direct ancestor of Czar Alexander II of Russia).

Yup. I don't *think* there are any other equally close connections,
but I wouldn't bet on it!

This would make Christian and Victoria 3rd cousins.
