My own understanding is that Royal families married into other Royal families to strengthen their allegiances ...... ie: British Royal Family marrying into another Royal family (eg: Swedish) would strengthen the allegiances between both set of Royals and toward countries. Was the old fashioned way of retaining 'power' - but it's not been enforced strictly for decades.
