NO one is sure of exactly how Queen Victoria got the gene for hemophilia since per presumed father Duke Edward of Kent was not a hemophiliac and researchers looked into her family history and did not find anything. Victoria probaby received it from a mutation.
It did not just end with her thought. Two of her daughters and a son passed the gene on to their descendants. The descendants spread the disease from Russia, Spain and Germany through marriage.

Which of Queen Victoria of England children became hemofiliac carrier?

Did Queen Victoria married a man with hemophilliac?
No, Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert was not a hemophiliac. Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried on the X Chromosome. If Prince Albert had been a hemophiliac than his sons could not of had hemophilia and all of his daughters would have been carriers. This was not the case however. One of Victoria and Albert's sons had hemophilia and two of their daughters passed the gene on. This means that it was Queen Victoria herself that passed it on, not Albert.
Queen Victoria and some of her descendants carried an x-linked gene for?
Queen Victoria and some of her descendants carried an X-linked gene for hemophilia, a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to control blood clotting. Hemophilia is passed from a carrier mother to her sons, who have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene. Queen Victoria's descendants spread the mutation across European royal families.
Why didnt the two sons of Queen Victoria Alfred and Arthur display hemophilia?
Queen Victoria had four sons Albert Edward Arthur Alfred Leopold The reason why Albert Edward, Arthur and Alfred did not display hemophilia is because they did not have it. Hemophilia is a sex linked gene. Leopold got hemophilia because Victoria carried the gene. She had one healthy X chromosome and an X that had the gene for hemophilia. Leopold got the X with hemophilia and the other boys got the healthy X chromosome

Queen Victoria had three children that she passed hemophilia on to. Her daughter Alice was a carrier and passed it on to two daughters and a son. Her daughter Alexandra passed it on to her son, and it is not known wither her daughters were carriers. Alice also passed it on to her daughter Irene who married her cousin Henry (brother of William II) and had two hemophilic sons Queen Victoria's son Leopold was afflicted with hemophilia as well. Because of the laws of genetics his son was free of the disease but his daughter passed it on to her son who was also afflicted with hemophilia. Queen Victoria's daughter Beatrice was also a carrier of hemophia. She passed it on to two sons, who died before procreating and a daughter Victoria Eugenia Queen of Spain who had hemophiliac sons and also may have passed it on threw her daughter.

What genetic disease was in Queen Victoria's family?
There are two genetic diseases that were (and are) in Queen Victoria's family. The first one was porphryia which is an autoimmune disease, which was passed on through the Hanoverian line historians believe thanks to Margaret Tudor (the daughter of Henry VIII) The other genetic disease that was in Queen Victoria's family was hemophilia which prevents blood from clotting. It is known that Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia and passed it on to three of her children and at least 6 of her grandchildren and many grandchildren, but it is impossible that she could have carried the gene for both Hemophilia and porphryia (the chance of it happening is the same as the population of the world when she was born.)
