Haplogroups of European kings and queens

[New Englander]

This is my Haplogroup breakdown on Mytrueancestry. Is is common to have so many royal matches? Its only R1b I am getting these matches for.

Wow, you're R1b and most of your matches aren't. I am R1a and 2/3 of my matches are R1b.

I share the same mt-haplogroup!

[Bonnieangel47]

Actually my mt-haplogroup is R. Is that like " the cheese stands alone?" or am I still connected?

Why isn't there any DNA on the Tudor kings and the wives?

I think that has more to do with R1b being so common. I am G2a and have only a "sliver" of G in my Y-DNA summary.

I wonder y dna of the peter the great? who knows?

[Joey37]

Peter the Great possessed the original Romanov y-dna (the later part of the dynasty is descended from his daughter Anna and has the Holstein-Gottorp German R1b, U106) and was of a native Russian line, so he could have been N1c, I2a, or more likely R1a, either Z280-CTS1211 or Z280-Z92, or maybe even the East Slavic M458, L1029-YP417.
