Haemophilia ~ The “royal disease”

Haemophilia ~ The “royal disease”

.

Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert were first cousins.

It is speculated that Queen Victoria’s haemophilia, a rare blood disorder in which blood does not clot properly, arose spontaneously.

Prince Albert, her husband, must have also carried this gene as well, for it to be passed on to so many descendants of theirs.

This, again, was a direct effect of the inbreeding rampant within the royals.

The fact that this is a genetic disorder, and that a lot of her children went on to become part of various royal houses and families, meant that Victoria effectively was the cause of haemophilia spreading amongst these families.

Two of Victoria's five daughters ~Alice and Beatrice~ passed the mutation to various royal houses across the continent, including the royal families of Spain, Germany and Russia.

Victoria's youngest son Leopold, also had the disease, though none of her three elder sons did.

The last Tsarina of Russia for example, Tsarina Alexandra, was Victoria’s granddaughter, and her son Alexei had haemophilia.

The haemophiliac Alexei Romanov had a lot of bleeding incidents, some of them even life-threatening.

Tests on the remains of the Romanov imperial family, show that the specific form of haemophilia passed down by Queen Victoria, was probably the relatively rare hemophilia B.

The presence of haemophilia B within the European royal families was well-known.
