Ruling royal descendants of the Bonaparte family

That's why I wanted to make a "royal" family post. part of the exhibition in Liège in 2021 What does King Philippe of Belgium, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, King Carl XIV Gustav of Sweden, King Harald of Norway and Queen Margrethe II of Demark in common? They are all descendants of Empress Joséphine. Belgium King Philippe of Belgium's parents are King Albert II of Belgium and Queen Paola.
