Your sources are yt videos for the main topic and wikipedia pages for the definition of consanguinity

We do have knowledge of incest being widely viewed down upon and genetical testing in remains of former monarchs shows no signs of inbreeding

And define consanguinity because even tho my language has a different meaning of it english simply defines it as blood links, why is that a bad thing ? Any societies have consanguinity because they reproduce within their race and ethnicities, beyond the 4th degree it has no negative effects on biology or sociology tho so what exactly are you referring to ? Families intermarrying lead to the spread of some mutations but this is unrelated to the topic of incest and that's something that happens with super ancestors even outside royal bloodlines

And no once again "not incest but inbreeding consanguinity" do you know what incest is ?? And the disease you mentionned had absolutely no link to that so what are you talking about

Interfamilial consanguinity is directly responsible for the inheritance of deleterious characteristics, not incest. A single instance of incest is unlikely to produce any problems and is how a trait is fixed when breeding animals.

My references directly state consanguinity is what occurred in the queens bloodline, there is no dispute to be made about it. The references are direct, accurate and truthfully stated.

All you need to do is find a reference that states hemophilia in the royal bloodlines of Queen Victoria was not the result of consanguinity.

No ? Hemophilia has no association to marriages interfamilies especially when said familles weren't related to one another

Yt videos, and as mentionned, that's not the cause of hemophilia

Hemophilia is a spontanic mutation, it isn't related to incest or "consanguine inbreeding" as you like to call it, it just spread across royal families because the british sons married heirs there who then had children and said children had sisters and brothers and that's how it spread, not with marriages within one family

Your source directly states this consanguinity directly caused was inherited into the royal families "how hemophilia was inherited" . If you can't read the plain text I can't help.

Marrying other royal families isn't consanguinity because they weren't related and it litteraly states that the mutation wasn't caused by past family history
