Well, I think this is, like, "who cares" anyway.

Didn't we fight a war to be rid of these Royals?

Who cares?

I disagree. I think the whole thing could be fascinating. There was a "rush" so to speak to produce an heir which turned out to be Victoria.

But the implications of the hemophilia go beyond that. Victoria's great-great-grandson Alexis, son of Czar Nicholas and Alexandra (Victoria's grandaughter) was a hemophiliac. Doctors could do nothing for him, but Rasputin could and that's how he gained the confidence of Nicholas and Alexandra.

Victoria was also the grandmother of Kaiser Wilhelm.

It's pure speculation of course. But I think it's fascinating if you consider that the Kaiser and Alexandra (thus Rasputin) would not have been in the picture.
