You're joking right? It's Lord Kitchener. It's like one of the most iconic images of the First World War

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. 

Fun fact: he drowned during a planned trip to Russia. So, uh... THERE'S THE STALIN CONNECTION, FOLKS!

[_RC1138]

Nope. It's of Lord Kitchener himself:

Americans always think it's of KGV even though it looks nothing like him:

The Royals have such distinctive looks I will never understand the ability to mistake them with anyone.

It's understandable. I used to think Dirk Benedict looked like Bobby Sherman....

Really REALLLLY distantly. You have to go up to George II to reach a common ancestor (and iirc just about everyone in Europe is related to George II). In fact when they are pictured together it really highlights how different they look. The Royal Family has some strong damn genes because they ALL look the same despite clothing/beards/age.

[iDuckman]

Yeah.  Victoria R is clearly related, if one imagines her with a beard.

She was Nicholas' Consort, not his mother. To get a non-marriage based relation from the Romanovs to the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (later Windsor), you need to go way back to George II.

So, related, right?  As I said.

[mofton]

Is 'strong genes' the code for 'oh my the in-breeding'?

Nope. Their mothers were sisters. Both were princesses of Denmark. So they were direct first cousins.

all those marriages to cousins.

Of course, other royal dynasties such as the Hapsburgs were much more distinctive, in that sense.

Yeah, not so much. You just need to go back to George V's mother and Nicholas II's mother, who were sisters. They were first cousins.
