That's not quite true. After enough generations, genetic drift sets in. Traits just become common because of sheer chance and what's available in the gene pool. That's part of why there's so many redheads in Ireland.
And European nobility was a pretty exclusive group. And Europe is pretty damn small.
This lead to many royal children in Europe having hemophilia. And, in larger populations, this leads to higher prevalence of things like Celiac's disease, thalassemia, Tay-Sachs, and albinism among certain, differing ethnicities.
