It is thought that rh neg blood is "pure" blood - tracked back to Adam and Eve. It is true that to have a second child that is not negative and the mother is will result in many complications - mabey this is why they kept inbreeding ? There is only a small percentage of the world population that is neg and they all (most all) originate from the Basque region of Europe-south France bordering Spain

Most people in the world produce Rh (D) antigen on their red blood cells These people are called Rh Positive. A much smaller number are missing this antigen and are called Rh Negative.
The frequency of Rh Negative people is much greater in people of European origin than of other races. The Spanish and French Basque people have the highest frequency of Rh Negative people in the world, and so it is theorised that the Rh Negative phenotype originated from this part of the world (a long long time ago).
Royalty has no more chance of having Rh Negative blood than the general population. (Europeans and North Americans with European ancestry have about a 15-16% chance of being Rh Negative).

I have never heard this before. I can trace my family tree on my mothers side back to William the Conqueror. I am Rh negative and so are my children, but no one on my mothers side is rh negative that we know of. So I do not think it is true, but very good question.

NO! if that were the case then my youngest son would be sitting upon a throne.
they used to called "blue babies" (the royality myth there maybe?). i was given a shot after his birth but there was really no need since he was my last.
i am of Irish, Scot, English and Native American decent.
from what i understand about the rh factor one of the parents should be of neg type in order for the child to be born with the neg.

Im rh neg and Im irish but Id like to think I am royalty :).
When I was pregnant they had to test the father because he had to be a certain kind in order for my son not to have a blood transfusion. Thankfully he didnt receive one because our blood was compaitable

The Basque region is NOT a hotbed for royalty, in fact, quite the opposite.

I'm O negative and I am 3/4 United Kingdom mutt (Welsh, English, Scots-Irish) and 1/4 Polish. I personally don't believe in Adam and Eve and I'm almost sure your theory is false because it makes no sense. Interesting, though. And royalty traditionally kept to "inbreeding" to keep the money and power in the family. It was not for genetic reasons, I promise you.

It could have started out that way but now alot of people have it. It is genetic though.
