Are you arguing that the royalty of Europe have entirely gone extinct due to inbreeding? Or are you arguing that occasional members showed deleterious recessives, while most (like Charles) have been spared those effects, as you’d see with purging of recessives?

I know you just made a throwaway joke, but if you’re actually going to make an argument of it, you should think through what you’re actually claiming.
