Yes, to the great joy of his parents and the Court. However, within six weeks the haemophilia made itself known, with bleeding from the baby?s navel.

One of his sisters was also a carrier. When the bodies were tested in 2009 it was found one of the girls was a carrier. The Russians thought Anastasia.

It seems more likely Maria as the Americans judged. There was some talk that Maria was a symptomatic carrier, from bleeding from a tonsilectomy.

About 20% of carriers have been symptomatic to varying degrees.

Nine of Victoria's descendants suffered from it including her son Leopold (Victoria seems to be the start as there was no family history before her).Alexei is the only one whose death as not linked to the bleeding disorder.

Yes, Maria had a tonsillectomy at the age of about eight or nine. She bled so profusely that the doctors attending became panicky. The Tsarina, who was waiting nearby, went into the room where the surgery was taking place and calmed them, asking that the operation proceed which it did. I tend to think that the skeletal remains found near Alexei that were tested and found to be likely a carrier for haemophilia were of Marie not Anastasia. The other sisters? remains were tested and apparently not found to be carriers.

Grand Duchess Maria's sisters thus could have married foreign royalty and thus no sons born would have had haemophilia. However, at that time this would not have been known.
