I would argue that it's uncertain whether Emhyr is sisters' real cousin at all (in the books, the game states its clearly). "Cousin" was (and still is) traditionally used by European monarchs (often related, true, but it was independent from this fact) while refering to each other. Since publicly Anarietta speaks in a strictly ceremonial way (note the extensive use of pluralis maiestaticus), I wouldn't be suprised if "cousin" was just that- a protocolar courtesy.
