Yep. They needed to inject less blue-blood into the UK royal bloodline so they pulled a half-breed, Diane, in to mate for Charles's offspring, known as Harry and William. Charles was so malformed, what happens to inbreeds, that they knew he wouldn't produce normal looking heirs. And inbreeds are unhealthy.

The Habsburg Jaw became the signature of royalty in Germany-Austria from inbreeding. That's what the Windsor's were becoming, Charles' appearance scared them about what was the beginning of a similar deformity being passed down.

They've learned they need to keep around some healthy stock for genetic injections when the inbreeding gets too obvious. Even the best bull semen has its limitations.
