Queen Victoria's son, Leopold, Duke of Albany, had hemophilia because the condition is an X-linked recessive disorder, which means it is passed down through genes on the X chromosome. As a carrier of the hemophilia gene, Victoria transmitted it to her son. This genetic condition was prevalent among European royal families due to intermarriage, leading to a higher incidence of hemophilia among their descendants. Leopold's illness exemplified the consequences of this genetic legacy.

Who did Queen Victoria pass hemophilia to?

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. Rechearchers are not sure about later generations because as the later generations were no longer royal it was easier to hide hemophilia.

What was the Impact of Queen Victoria's hemophilia?

Queen Victoria herself did not have hemophilia she was just a carrier for it. The impact for her being a carrier for hemophilia was catastrophic. Many historians would say that because of her transfering the gene for hemophilia to two daughers and a son it had an impact in the Russian revolution, and the Spanish Revolution. The Russian Revolution part was because Queen Victoria passed in on to her daughter Alice, who passed it on to her daughter Alexandra, who passed it on to her son Alexi the Tsarivitch of Russia. No one outside of the Russian royal family knew the Alexi had hemophilia and resented Rasputin for getting near the Emperial family which ultimatly led to the Revelution The Spanish Revelution because Queen Victoria passed the gene onto her daughter Beatrice who passed it on to her daughter Victoria Eugenia who passed it on to some of her children and several sons were disqualified from the throne of Spain because they were hemophiliacs. This ultimatly led to Franco taking over.

Alexandra's son Alexis b. Alice's son Fredrick c. Alice's daughter Irene 1. Irene's son Waldemar 2. Irene's son Henry 2. Victoria's son Leopold had hemophilia and passed it on as well a. Leopold's daughter Alice was a carrier 1. Alice's son Rupert, Viscount Trematon 3. Victoria's daughter Beatrice was a carrier and passed it on a. Beatrice's daughter Victoria Eugenie or Ena 1. Ena's son Alfonzo 2. Ena's son Gonzalo b. Beatrice's son Leopold c. Beatrice's son Maurice There might have been more, but we will never know. Because Tsarina Alexandra's daughters died before being able to have children we will never know if they were carriers of hemophilia. Statistically though at least one of them was more than likely a carrier.


The brother of a women's father has hemophilia her father was unaffected but she worries that she may have an affected son should she worry explain?

The woman's father being unaffected means that he does not carry the gene for hemophilia on his X chromosome. Therefore, the woman does not have the gene and cannot pass it on to her son. Her son will not inherit hemophilia from his uncle.
