Hemophilia in royal families appears to have died out. Queen Victoria's youngest son Leopold was a hemophiliac. He had 2 children: a daughter Alice, who had to be a carrier and a son Charles who had to be unaffected as I have explained in previous posts. Alice had a son and a daughter...

According to the following Wikipedia article, your legal name is what appears on your birth certificate or marriage license. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_name

It was porphyria which is very different than hemophilia. Porphyria is a metabolic disease with many symptoms and most sufferers do not exhibit the severe behavioral symptoms that George III exhibited. If you have seen the file "The Madness of King George," you will be aware of the...

My high school and college German has not been used for many years and I'm not able to completely understand those links. I used Babel Fish to translate and the only reference to hemophilia in nobles of the middle ages was in the Wikipedia article and in the last article listed which appears to...

I've never read anything about hemophilia being prevalent in European nobles in medieval times. Can you post a source so others can read about it? When I Google "disease of kings," pages of references to gout come up. The only hemophilia in the Prussian royal family were the two sons of...

No, I don't mean Albert was lucky not to have hemophilia. There is no way he could have gotten hemophilia from that side of the family. Hemophilia is passed on by the mother who gives her sons one of her X genes. If that X gene carries the hemophilia gene, then the son will be a hemophiliac...

There were nine siblings altogether. Sophie (1778-1835), married Count Emanuel of Mensdorff-Pouilly. Antoinette (1779-1824), married Alexander of Wurttemberg Juliane (1781-1860), married Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich of Russia Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1784-1844), Albert's father...

Yes, they were; I did not say they weren't. You refer to diseases Victoria and Albert's children could not avoid because their parents were cousins. Which diseases? The fact that Victoria and Albert were cousins has nothing to do with hemophilia. If Albert had the hemophilia gene, he would...

Victoria and Albert being first cousins has nothing to do with hemophilia. Victoria would have passed on the hemophilia gene no matter whom she married. If Albert had the hemophilia gene, he would have been a hemophiliac. Victoria's children except for Leopold who had hemophilia were quite...

I compiled this list of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s great grandchildren from http://www3.dcs.hull.ac.uk/genealogy/royal/. He had a lot of great grandchildren but I don't see Carlo Von Zeitschel among them. Also see this link which lists the descendants of Wilhelm. Those with a 4 next to their names...

Emperor Akihito of Japan had prostate cancer. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/2611161.stm

This is an old wives' tale. Edward was born on October 12 and his mother Jane Seymour died on October 24. Women who had caesareans at this time did not survive, let alone survive for 12 days. Jane died of puerperal fever also called childbed fever. There are various dates given for the first...

Diana would have been Queen because she would have been married to the King. No background would have caused her to be Queen. If any of us had married Prince Charles, we'd be Queen when he was King. However, if Diana had lived, Diana would not have been Queen because she was divorced from...

There is a 50% chance that daughters of a mother that is a hemophilia carrier will be carriers so we can assume that two of the daughters were carriers. In actuality, it could be more or it could be less. Women have two X chromosomes and pass one to their daughters. A female hemophilia...

Yes, it is! My point in listing the number of her descendants was to show that the very great majority of them were not affected by hemophilia. Of course, it is probable that some of the daughters of Nicholas II were carriers and would have further spread the disease had they lived.

Two of Queen Victoria's daughters, one of her sons, and four of her granddaughters were hemophilia carriers. One son, five grandsons, and four great grandsons had hemophilia. Queen Victoria had nine children, 42 grandchildren and 87 great grandchildren. Queen Victoria’s Hemophilia Sufferer...

The understanding of the genetics of hemophilia was not fully understood at this time. When Prince Leopold, Queen Victoria's hemophiliac son, was looking for a bride there was more concern over his minor case of epilepsy than his hemophilia. Epilepsy was a social stigma then.

This is not true. All daughters of hemophilia sufferers are carriers. Men have an X and a Y chromosome while women have two X chromosomes. A women gets an X chromosome from each of parents and a man gets an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father. The hemophilia gene...

Hemophilia is transmitted on the X chromosome and it is a recessive trait. Women have XX chromosomes and men have XY chromosomes. Each person gets 1 chromosome from each parent. A woman has XX chromosome so she can only pass an X chromosome onto her children. A man has XY and can pass either...

Actually quite a number of European royals attended universities in the USA. Here is a selection: Crown Prince Philippe of Belgium: attended the Royal Military Academy of Belgium for three years, spent two months at Trinity College, Oxford University, United Kingdom, and attended Stanford...

Yes, after the death of Henry Benedict Stuart, the Jacobite claim then goes to the descendants of Henrietta Anne, known as Minette, the youngest daughter of Charles I. Here is the link from Charles I to Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia. Charles I > Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orleans > Anne...

The Kaiser's only daughter Viktoria Luise wrote her memoirs in a book called The Kaiser's Daughter. It is very interesting reading history from her point of view. Viktoria Luise is the grandmother of former King Constantine of Greece and Queen Sofia of Spain (their mother Frederica was her...

Yes, Victoria's Daughters by Jerrold M. Packard is excellent as is a recent book about Victoria's five granddaughters who were consorts: Born to Rule: Five Reigning Consorts, Granddaughters of Queen Victoria by Julia P. Gelardi
