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.​

 Consider how
 many males in the British Royal family have died without
 issue.

 . An Aslan female can

  potentially birth 12 kittens per year, and an Aslan male
 is

  likely to maintain two-four breeding age females while

  capable of reproduction. That is a lot of mouths to
 feed,

  who it seems are not as omnivorous as Humanity.



 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



 That's why I found it so interesting, when, in SJG's
 timeline, the Imperial Aslan who was a Sector Duke out in
 the SolRim died w/o 'issue'. Or at least any legit
 heirs. That seemed to me to be almost impossibly improbable.
 However, it did allow for the question of succession to be
 explored thru SJG's TNS dispatches.
