If the union simply involves first cousins, it shouldn't be an issue. But oftentimes, one has multiple generation first cousin marriages: that's when one has excessive inbreeding. The fact is that King Frederik IX of Denmark was a descendant of King Oscar I of Sweden, just like Princess Martha -- not to mention the fact that they had a closer relationship as children of a brother and sister.
