 Well at least legit issue, but then they didn't have
 harems...or. at least not ones that would yield legit
 heirs...
 ​I'm
 not sure about the British Roayal family, but I did do
 genealogical research into one aristocratic family over
 several generations.
 While
 there was nothing to suggest homosexuality, at least two
 became priests, and three died in military service before
 they married.
 Two
 males had no issue for unstated reasons. This meant that for
 the last three generations until the title was extinguished
 the name was passed on by the second, fourth and youngest
 male siblings. The last only had daughters.
 On
 the other hand one of the officers that died without issue
 was killed in his 40s, and was widely acknowledged to be a
 'ladies man' in Spain. Regardless, children out of
 wedlock were not acknowledged in wills. Or he may have just
 been infertile, and having realised this, decided he was
 'safe' for anything.​ ​Some
 men didn't marry until they left services, or married
 rich widows with children, etc.​

Let's look at George III, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland plus King of Hannover (reigned 1760-1820)
The family tree I'm looking at shows no less than FIFTEEN legit offspring!
So I'll just cover the older ones that are relevant to the question of inheriting the throne in order of birth.
George IV (1820-1830) had one legit daughter who died birthing her first child. A still-born son.
Frederick predeceased George IV.
William IV (1830-1837)  two legit daughter predeceased him w/o any listed offspring but TEN illegit (5 male & 5 female) offspring, of which four of the males survived him. I think these  ten would be legit w/i aslan culture.
Edward dies the same year as George III but leaves one legit offspring, Victoria, who eventually assumes the throne of the UK.
while the throne of Hannover passes to the next younger son of George III, Ernest Augustus, Victoria's uncle.

The aslan in question, the sector duke, was very elderly when he dies of old age. I just can't see how he could die w/o an heir. I suppose it's theoretically  possible but I still just can't see it actually happening.
