Statistics

, George V has 6 children, 9 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and 52 great-great-grandchildren. Members who are (1) Catholic or (2) ''illegitimate or legitimated by marriage'' are excluded from the succession to the throne. Most of the illegitimate children on this table are all ''legitimatio per matrimonium subsequens'' or ''legitimated by subsequent marriage''. They and their descendants are excluded from the line of succession and other titles. Other monarchies are different. Monaco, for instance recognises legitimated children as eligible for the throne. The Catholics are from the Duke of Kent's family. *The Duke's wife converted to Catholicism decades after they were married. Her later conversion did not exclude him. *Their oldest son, George Windsor, married his Catholic wife in 1988 and was thereby excluded until 2015, when the Perth Agreement was implemented. Two of his three children are Catholics. Only Lady Amelia Windsor is still in the line, but it is presumed that she will follow the lead of her siblings and parents and be confirmed n the Catholic faithwhen she is older and hence will be excluded from succession. *Their second son, Lord Nicholas Windsor, converted to Catholicism, married his wife in the Vatican, and his three children are baptised Catholics. The Duke's brother, Prince Michael of Kent, married his Catholic wife in 1978 and was thereby excluded until 2015. His children were raised in communion with the Anglican church and have always been eligible.


Other descendants of Edward VII

In addition to George V, Edward VII had 5 other children, from whom the dukes of Fife and the Norwegian royal family are descended.
