>by the time of WW1, it had gone to the German monarchy and Russian monarchy as well.
How could it not go, both the brit king and the ruskie tsar were grandsons of Queen Victoria of England and the german one, a little more distant but also cousin
Here are both side by side, the ruskie and the brit.

WW1 was a literal "brothers war" except cousins.
>They communicated by telegram and letter in the lead up to World War One, calling each other ‘Willy’ and ‘Nicky’, and sounding increasingly concerned about the likelihood of conflict between their nations. ‘To try and avoid such a calamity as a European war,’ the Tsar wrote to the Kaiser in 1914, ‘I beg you in the name of our old friendship to do what you can to stop your allies from going too far.’
