Albert/Edward: He did not have the gene and did not suffer from the illness. Alice: She had the gene and passed to her son Frittie (Friedrich) who died from a haemorrhage at 3 years Alfred: Did not have the gene and did not suffer from the illness Helena: She did not have the gene as far as we know, because her sons did not suffer and her daughters had no children.

Alfred is my favourite of the four.

Don't forget that at that time wives were sanctified objects that were only touched for "reproduction purposes", and men were considered to have "viril needs" only satisfied by less sanctified women. Married women accepted because they were taught that if men didn't release that viril energy with mistresses, they would have to bear the unsatisfactory sex sessions. So they were ok with that apparently.

@@nataliasanchez8537 Most likely, it was a mixture of people just adhering/acquiescing to societal norms back then (ie what you've mentioned about wives being "sanctified objects" and such) and arranged marriages being an unavoidable circumstance. Imagine attempting to have sexual relations with a virtual stranger who you didn't even pick in the first place (I imagine most of them weren't attracted to or might even detested their spouse); that'll most likely kill any sex drive. Hence, how affairs were prevalent. Also, due to societal norms being in favor of the patriarchy back then, it was ig, more acceptable(?) for males to have mistresses. Females on the other hand, may have no doubt had extramarital affairs as well, but were more secretive and cautious going about it, due to fear of social death.

Edward VII is probably my favorite king ever, either him or George VI. He was dedicated himself to ending the many prejudices of his time, He maintained relationships with his entire family knowing that it was the most important thing. He was kind to everyone he met. He absolutely adored his children and loved nothing more than spending time with them. He learned to love his wife even though he thought their marriage would be horrible. He truly was an amazing person.

Very interesting - as a Brit, I am well aware of Edward VII, but nobody talks about Queen Victoria's other sons. Just a couple of criticisms/corrections: "Warwick" is pronounced "Worrick" and "Ulster" isn't "Oolster", but "Ulster" as in "hug". And when the narrator talks about the future Edward VII's mistresses (one of whom was an actress, she tells us), a photograph is shown that can only be of Edward with Alexandra in the early days of their marriage. Of course, he would never have been photographed with a mistress!

Probably a spontaneous mutation at Victoria’s conception. It could not have come from Albert, as he was not a hemophiliac himself, and since it’s an X-chromosome linked disorder, in order for their son Leopold to have it, he would have to get it from his mother since Albert would’ve given the Y. It didn’t come from Victoria’s father either, as he didn’t suffer from hemophilia. Victoria’s mother could’ve been a carrier, but there was no known family history in the Saalfeld line. The most likely case is that it was either a spontaneous mutation, which happens in about a third of hemophilia cases,l.
