The queen had this disease in three of her nine children. His daughters Alice and Beatrice suffered from the disease as did many of his children. The disease passed through various members of the royal family for three generations after victoria and then suddenly disappeared.
According to experts, the cause of this disease is the deficiency of a certain type of protein present in the blood. Which is called the clotting factor. The specialty of this protein is that it stops the flowing blood by clotting clots, but in those who do not have this protein, once their blood starts flowing due to any reason, it does not stop.
