And this is a problem because...

Unfortunately, IRL it is not uncommon for members of royalty from differing nations to be related.

Heck, if you look at the various monarchies that were in existance prior to WWI, there was some sort of relationship between the British, French, and Russian Kingdoms, similarly with the German and Austrian/Hungarian empires. In fact, one of the things about WWI is that, at some level, it was really just a family squabble, using their armies as pawns (as only the imperial monarchs can do).

back on topic, If they were to really follow some of the fairy tale backstory, there would definitely be some tension between Maleficent and Blue. I forget which version of the SB fairy tale this is, but when the Evil Fairy (Maleficent) shows up uninvited, her "gift" is that the young girl would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. The last fairy to give a give a gift was unable to undo the curse, but was able change it so that instead of dying, the princess would fall into a sleep until the curse could be broken. They could easily put Blue in the role of the last fairy that manages to modify the curse.
