That would cast doubt on the genetic respectability of the British Royal Family. How would you like call your sovereign someone whose bloodline has been trashed for generations in a way that would not have been tolerated in the family of a commoner?
I don't care about the "genetic respectability of the British Royal Family", I'm not a massive royalist anyway so they don't come into it as far as im concerned. They may be descended from an insestual bloodline and have mostly gotten away with it in terms of their health, but it remains that a child born into a family where the two parents are related is more likely to have something wrong with them.
