The reason she became a carrier for hemophilia is not known. There are several likely explanations, but no one knows the real reason.
One of the most likely is that she got it from her father. Edward, Duke of Kent was in his 50's when Victoria was conceived so there is a chance that there was a mutation that happened.
Another likely explanation is that it was just a mutation that happened when she was conceived and had nothing to do with either of her parents.
There are other explanations such as her biological father was a hemophiliac or that it was her mother who carried the gene for hemophilia, but both are unlikely.
