So, what became of the queen’s heirs? Here’s what happened to Victoria and Albert’s nine children. Hemophilia was seen in a few of the Queen’s grandchildren and, most notably, in her great-grandson, Alexei Romanov. Victoria’s son Leopold died at age 30 from an injury that triggered a hemorrhage, which was caused by the disease. She was also the first known royal carrier of Hemophilia - which now is commonly associated with European royal bloodlines. Victoria’s legacy didn’t just affect political and military history. Apparently, Kaiser Wilhelm once said WWI may not have happened if his grandmother Victoria had been alive, “as she simply would not have allowed her relatives to go to war with one another.” History Extra also reports that three of Victoria’s grandchildren were key players in World War I: Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, Alexandra Romanov of Russia and George V of Britain. Queen Victoria’s descendants can be found in the royal families of Germany, Russia, Greece, Romania, Sweden, Norway and Spain, according to online BBC history magazine, History Extra. So, what happened to Queen Victoria’s nine children?īecause of her nine children and 42 grandchildren, Victoria garnered the nickname “Grandmother of Europe.” The moniker fits quite literally when looking at Europe’s royal families, as her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren endured as monarchs of multiple European countries. That’s right, the royal couple had a brood of heirs - and all of them lived to adulthood. I can’t be the only one who has lost count of births on the show? I do know that when all is said and done, Victoria and Albert will end up with nine children. Victoria fans have probably noticed that the monarch appears to be constantly pregnant throughout the last couple of seasons.
