There's probably not been a cousin marriage any closer than 10-14th cousin in the British Monarchy for quite some time. And to be honest, do a deep dive on your own family tree and you'll probably find the same thing. It's interesting to see how families tended to intermarry among the same circle of families over and over again even in non-royal society, creating lots of distant cousin marriages by accident.
