Royal twins: what does this mean?

The appearance of a long-awaited baby is a great happiness for the whole family. If two people appear at once, this is double happiness. If the light sees royal twins - it's not just fun, it's a real gift of fate. Indeed, the birth of both a girl and a boy for both parents is a miracle from above, because now they can enjoy simultaneously bringing up both the daughter and the son.

What is royal twins?

To answer such a simple, at first glance, question, one must at least one eye to look into history. Let us recall the monarchical families. The birth of twins in them meant the appearance of a serious threat to the throne. And this is so, because at once two heirs could cause splits and inevitable hostility.

What means "Royal twins"? So called the twin children, who were born unisexual. For any monarchical family it was a real royal gift. And not only because babies have appeared. In this case, the world was not violated.

Practical benefit from the royal twins for the state

The boy, growing up, became the heir to the throne (no one fanned the struggle for power, and hence the intrigues, which resulted in multiple murders and splits of the country, was not foreseen). A girl could very well be married in a very profitable way, especially if the groom was a king's son from a nearby state. The conclusion of such a marriage strengthened peaceful relations with neighboring powers, because the brother and sister did not share anything with each other, and even more so they would never start wars with each other. That is why, when the royal twins appeared, this was seen as a special blessing of the heavens. Even a kind of magic.

Twins

In the sensational five years ago series "Closed School" of one of the developments of the Nazis, which continued to this day to nurture their insidious plans, it was precisely the promotion of the birth of twins. Even their serious project "Gemini" was even developed. Due to some medical influences, not only two girls or two boys were born quite often, but also the notorious royal twins. By the way, digressing from the topic of the series, we must pay attention to the fact that in real life there really was a prototype of one of the Nazis, who occupies a rather high post. He was a German geneticist. After the war, he managed to avoid trial for his unlawful actions regarding humanity, human lives, and he settled abroad in one small village. Almost until the end of the 70s of the last century (before his natural death) in this village, in 90% of cases, twins were born to women, many of whom were appropriately called royal twins. The statistics of these strange circumstances exist in reality. Especially since neither before nor after the presence of genetics such a miracle occurred in this village.

Dizygotic and monozygotic twins

In recent years, the pregnancy of women with twins - a fairly rare phenomenon. After all, 85 newly born babies in our planet have only one pair of twins. As for the opposite-sex twins, they are born even less often.

Almost always heterosexual twins are raznoyaytsevymi (in another way - dizygotic). In the people of such kids are called twins.

But it also happens that a woman is carrying different-sexed identical twins. They are called monozygotic. The whole secret lies in the fact that one of these twins (usually a boy) loses its Y chromosome, so a girl is born. But this, rather, is some kind of anomaly, rather than the norm.

Similarities and differences

If a stork brings a twins to a family - a boy and a girl - then they develop and grow like all the other twins. They can be like an exact copy of each other, and, like most of the sisters and brothers, are barely alike.

A special caste of toddlers is a mixed-sex, or royal twins. They, just like ordinary twins or twins, saw this world in one day. But for all this, they have one important important difference: these youngsters have different sexes. They, like same-sex twins, do not have to scour in search of their individuality, all this is already inherent in them by nature. These crumbs and in childhood, and then, growing up, spend almost the whole time together, together. But there is one interesting nuance. Even if the boy was born first in this couple, almost always the primacy is in the hands of the girl. She seems to take care of her brother.

How to bring up twins? Joys and difficulties

When parents have heterogeneous sex, for mom and dad, it's not only great joy, but also some difficulties. Parents now need to buy different toys, different clothes. Even approaches to the upbringing of babies are completely different, as well as there are certain differences in hygiene.

Parents should not forget that mentally and physiologically the girl and the boy develop quite differently. Most often in her development the baby is much ahead of her brother. In no case should you humiliate one of the kids, allocate a weaker or, conversely, a stronger karapuza. Compare them, too, should not be.

Why do they call the "royal twins" of a boy and a girl? Yes, because for their parents they are real little monarchs. Even now, when issues of succession are not paid as much attention as it was 100 years ago, the birth of a boy and a girl is still perceived as a miracle. And that - sounds beautiful, and for the parents a real royal gift.

Historical digression

In 34 BC, the beauties of Cleopatra and Antonia after their meeting in Alexandria were born twins - a girl and a boy. But, since in ancient times these persons were practically equated with the gods, the children were said to be divine twins.

Centuries have passed, and this name has gradually been transformed into known to all and considered by us (royal twins). And this is not surprising, because the history of the monarchical system is already known to you.

Today, the famous twins of modernity can be attributed to children who saw the light in Denmark, the royal family of Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederick. It was truly royal twins, the photo of which flew around the world. Little son Vincent and daughter Josephine were born on January 8, 2011, and on April 14 they were baptized.

Let's talk about semantics

Well, you already know what "royal twins" means-this term, as already mentioned, is well-established, even historical. Many centuries ago, power under the monarchy passed from father to son, and in the case of the birth of two boys at once, many questions arose, which often led to fratricides and wars. When the royal twins appeared, the problems were automatically eliminated.

And what should be done to create a royal twins in the family? Alas, but there is still no answer to this question. And to date, scientists have not figured out, as a result of what a complex game of eggs and spermatozoa can appear embryos of different sexes. Simply put, one egg is impregnated with two spermatozoa at once. The result of this "dance" is an intermediate type of twins, experts call it and in a different way - semi-identical: exactly half of the genes in the kids coincide, but the other half has distinctive differences. That's how Yin and Yang come together.

Whatever it was, if the parents are waiting for the royal twins, or they already have a double happiness, it remains to wish them to bring up truly royal daughters and sons.
