The
European Royal Family
Hemophilia
has affected the Royal Families of Europe for
the last few centuries. The origins of the disease
in the family have been traced back to Queen Victoria,
though it has been shown that neither of
her "parents" were affected or were
carriers. Statistics now show a 33% spontaneous
mutation of hemophilia that may have caused this.
It used to be the trend that royalty had to marry
other royalty, which was very conducive to keeping
the disease within the Royal Family. With the
more relaxed rules of the Royal Family in the
current time, the disease hasn't been seen in
almost 100 years in the family.
