There are several possibilities of how she inherited hemophilia, but nobody will ever know for sure.
Some possibilities are
1. That she is not the Granddaughter of King George III-meaning she was the biological daughter of a hemophiliac
2. Her mother (Victoria of Sax-Coburg) was a carrier - which turned out to be false.

Did Queen Victoria married a man with hemophilliac?
No, Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert was not a hemophiliac. Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried on the X Chromosome. If Prince Albert had been a hemophiliac than his sons could not of had hemophilia and all of his daughters would have been carriers. This was not the case however. One of Victoria and Albert's sons had hemophilia and two of their daughters passed the gene on. This means that it was Queen Victoria herself that passed it on, not Albert.
Why didnt the two sons of Queen Victoria Alfred and Arthur display hemophilia?
Queen Victoria had four sons Albert Edward Arthur Alfred Leopold The reason why Albert Edward, Arthur and Alfred did not display hemophilia is because they did not have it. Hemophilia is a sex linked gene. Leopold got hemophilia because Victoria carried the gene. She had one healthy X chromosome and an X that had the gene for hemophilia. Leopold got the X with hemophilia and the other boys got the healthy X chromosome

What Queen of England affected her children with hemophilia?
Queen Victoria. She carried the gene for the disease but always thought it came from her husband's family.
Who did Queen Victoria pass hemophilia to?
Queen Victoria had three children that she passed hemophilia on to. Her daughter Alice was a carrier and passed it on to two daughters and a son. Her daughter Alexandra passed it on to her son, and it is not known wither her daughters were carriers. Alice also passed it on to her daughter Irene who married her cousin Henry (brother of William II) and had two hemophilic sons Queen Victoria's son Leopold was afflicted with hemophilia as well. Because of the laws of genetics his son was free of the disease but his daughter passed it on to her son who was also afflicted with hemophilia. Queen Victoria's daughter Beatrice was also a carrier of hemophia. She passed it on to two sons, who died before procreating and a daughter Victoria Eugenia Queen of Spain who had hemophiliac sons and also may have passed it on threw her daughter. Rechearchers are not sure about later generations because as the later generations were no longer royal it was easier to hide hemophilia.
Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?

Males.
What genetic disease was in Queen Victoria's family?
There are two genetic diseases that were (and are) in Queen Victoria's family. The first one was porphryia which is an autoimmune disease, which was passed on through the Hanoverian line historians believe thanks to Margaret Tudor (the daughter of Henry VIII) The other genetic disease that was in Queen Victoria's family was hemophilia which prevents blood from clotting. It is known that Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia and passed it on to three of her children and at least 6 of her grandchildren and many grandchildren, but it is impossible that she could have carried the gene for both Hemophilia and porphryia (the chance of it happening is the same as the population of the world when she was born.)
What was the Impact of Queen Victoria's hemophilia?
Queen Victoria herself did not have hemophilia she was just a carrier for it. The impact for her being a carrier for hemophilia was catastrophic. Many historians would say that because of her transfering the gene for hemophilia to two daughers and a son it had an impact in the Russian revolution, and the Spanish Revolution. The Russian Revolution part was because Queen Victoria passed in on to her daughter Alice, who passed it on to her daughter Alexandra, who passed it on to her son Alexi the Tsarivitch of Russia. No one outside of the Russian royal family knew the Alexi had hemophilia and resented Rasputin for getting near the Emperial family which ultimatly led to the Revelution The Spanish Revelution because Queen Victoria passed the gene onto her daughter Beatrice who passed it on to her daughter Victoria Eugenia who passed it on to some of her children and several sons were disqualified from the throne of Spain because they were hemophiliacs. This ultimatly led to Franco taking over.
