I am not 100% about that one. Last week-end I had a king whose rule started when he was 25. He got married the next year. Did not get any male heir as long as all its six uncles were alive (they were no longer princes but still had the crown next to their portrait). Once the first royal uncle died was then and became a "non-royal uncle", I got my first heir (my king was 43 then so he stayed 17 years without male heir and just produced three princess). Don't know if that is a coincidence but it might be worthwile looking a bit deeper if the limit is not six princes and/or royal uncles.
