Kopacabana75, Actually both spellings are correct in different parts of the world.
Princess 'M'
Kopacabana75, These two spelling's are actually 'interchangeable'...

That's not the only royal blood disorder. Blood disorders came about due to breeding with cousins etc. Trying to keep the blood royal so to speak, created mutations in the blood program at conception. So I guess the royals are very aware of this fact an that's why it's best they started to breed with commoners so to speak.

GlaikitGames93, Some of us can & some of us can't, which is probably true of any country. I happen to be a very good speller, but some of my siblings are not. Also, during my career as a secretary for many years, most of the executives for whom I worked had brilliant minds but were not good spellers - that's one of the reasons they needed people like me.

Czar Nicholas from I believe it was Russia was the first know case. I did a paper in college in Pharmacology. My husband and 2 grandsons have hemophilia. My daughter is the carrier. The male who has it, his son's will not be afflicted. His daughter's will be carriers.

I am fairly certain carriers of haemophilia/hemophilia were identified before Queen Victoria. For example Wikipedia quotes a doctor John Conrad Otto who in 1803 was able to trace a woman who had been a carrier in Plymouth, New Hampshire around 1720. Queen Victoria wasn't born til 1819.

Imphx, females are in the vast majority of cases only carriers...but because of haemophiliac centres do very rarely have haemophilia per se...

gramatt3, I'm afraid you are confused. Queen Victoria passed the gene to her daughter, who married Tsar Nikolas of Russia. Their son Alexei had the disease as his mother was the carrier. Tsar Nikolas had nothing to do with it.

I was touring the Middle East with a group of pilgrims when the coach I was on had catastrophic brake failure going down a hill at the border between Jordan and Iraq...a batch of tyres in the back rows came forwards causing multiple injuries...only ONE person escaped completely unscathed....a 21 year old girl who was a haemophiliac....we really hailed it as a miracle! not a scratch on her....sadly she passed around 3 years later from complications of her illness....

gramatt3, Nicholas (yes he was Russian, the Tsar in fact) was male and therefore not a carrier.
