As
Smoothie iterated, the royal twins are preborn, meaning that they were awakened to consciousness within the womb. Additionally, they are of the Kwisatz Haderach bloodline, of which their father Paul was the first fruitful 'product'. This means that they have the potential ability to see into the future, as well as to unlock the in-built memories of their ancestors. So, Leto II and Ghanima are not just brother and sister, they are
every couple in their bloodline, sharing all the feelings of love and passion that their ancestors felt for each other. Hence their closer-than-normal sibling relationship, and also the discomfort that Jessica Atreides (their paternal grandmother) feels due to their full knowledge of her intimacy with Duke Leto I (their paternal grandfather).
Also, Jessica Atreides is the daughter of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, thus HIS presence is also within the royal twins, and Alia as well. Alia succumbs to the Baron's will within her psyche, and is ultimately possessed by him.
Oh, and
