Well, in England at least, there are not all that many royals around.
Almost of necessity you take commoners to bed with you, even servants if
that seems more convenient. Otherwise, you end up screwing your own
cousins.

There is already too much inbreeding among the royal houses of Europe to
risk any more of that.  As it is, they got Charles out of it and that was
no bargain.
If what they say about Harry is true, they mightn't have got much of a
bargain there either.
