Through the annals of history, the lives royals have intertwined with tales of strength and resilience. In the early 20th century, Tsarevich Alexei of Russia, aged 12, lived under the watchful eye of his father, Tsar Nicholas II, during World War I. Dressed in military uniform, they shared a moment of unity and determination (1915). Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, also battled the inherited condition in the late 19th century, yet continued his duties as a royal (circa 1884). Alexei and his mother, Tsarina Alexandra, shared a tender moment in the early 1910s, their bond unbroken by his health challenges (circa 1910). As he grew older, Alexei joined the Russian Army as a lance-corporal, defying the odds and proving his courage (1917). In contrast, Tsarina Alexandra Fyodorovna and Tsarevich Alexei posed for a portrait, their love and devotion evident in the artist's rendition (circa 1907-1910). Another hemophiliac royal, Nicholas II, stood proudly with his son in military uniform, their shared commitment to duty and family unwavering (circa 1910-1916). Even outside of royalty, the legacy of hemophilia continued to unfold. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, and her son, Lord Trematon, participated in the christening of Eton School's new fire engine, their presence a testament to the enduring spirit of those who face adversity.
