Accepted Answer

Royal haemophilia. Royal haemophilia is the sex-linked genetic disease. Haemophilia is also known as Bleeder's disease'. Haemophilia is a rare hereditary disorder carried by females and expressed by males. Hemophilia is a disorder in which a person's blood is not able to clot normally. In normal blood, proteins 'fibrinogen and prothrombin' called clotting factors work together to form a clot whenever bleeding occurs. The person with hemophilia lacks or doesn't have enough of a certain clotting factor so does not form clot. Severe blood loss causes death due to haemophilia .
