Queen Victoria’s husband, Albert, the prince consort, was born in the Saxon duchy of Saxony-Coburg-Saalfeld, of well-related parents to the ruling monarchs of Europe.
At age 20, he married his cousin, Victoria, and the couple had nine children together: Victoria; Albert ‘Bertie’; Alice; Alfred; Helena; Louise; Arthur; Leopold; and Beatrice.
During her courtship stage, Victoria wrote:[Albert] It’s very nice; her hair is about the same color as mine; his eyes are large and blue, and he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth with fine teeth; but the charm of her face is her expression, which is delicious. She proposed to him on October 15, 1839.
A reputation for supporting public causes quickly developed, including educational reform and the abolition of slavery around the world. Queen Victoria trusted him to deal with the home, the office and the estates.
