Incest has been taboo for thousands of years primarily because it went against most culture’s purpose of marriage, which was the exchange of wealth / property. With incest, no wealth transfer occurs, so it was shunned by the general population. However, wealthy families / royals encouraged incest in order to keep the wealth in the family / not pass wealth to peasants.
