What son did Queen Victoria disown?
She did not disown any of her children. She had nine children and several times they found that they were not in her favor, but nothing happened to them.
At one point when he was a little boy Victoria's son Leopold was shunned by her because he had hemophilia. When he was little she complained in letters that he walked terribly, and when he started to speak French she said it sounded more like Chinese. She would also not allow him to follow the family to certain vacation homes with the family because she didn't want him to get hurt. One time he wanted to go to Paris, Victoria said no, but he went anyway. Later though he was one of her trusted advisers and had a copy of the box used for her official corespondents (which the Price of Wales did not even have.) He became a Duke when he got married and had a daughter and his wife gave birth to a son shortly after his death from a fall in the 1880's.
Albert Edward the Prince of Wales was also shunned by Victoria when he was growing up. When Bertie was a youngster people wold feel the heads of people to find out what their personality was like. When he was younger Victoria and Albert had that done and were told that Bertie got his personality from his Uncles (William IV, George IV) who liked to drink and chance women. This did not sit well with the very prudish Victoria and Albert. When Bertie was about 20 in 1861 he was sent to basic training and while he was there his friends found a lady to put in his bed with him. Bertie and the girl had an affair and Victoria and Albert found out about it. Albert went to talk to him about the effects of a life like his uncles and shortly afterward Albert died at 42. For the rest of her life Victoria blamed Bertie and told others she hoped he would die before her because she though he would make a bad king.

Because it's part of their culture. Whether it still retains power is irrelevent in their heart. And some do still have a good amount of power. The Queen of Britain for example is the Head of State; that's a real government job that someone else would have to be doing if she wasn't.
