Did medieval peasants have more children on average than royalty? Or is this a modern phenomenon?

Distribution is likely bimodal and geography dependent. Emperors had concubines and those kids weren’t in line to the throne so the Emperor could go wild with it. European kings couldn’t have a bunch of bastards running around so they didn’t have as many official children. This changed with the end of imperial rule. I think Xi Jinping has 1 daughter an no known mistresses.
