Prince Albert Biography: His Ambition, Significant Political Roles, and Marital Strain (1997)
Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel; later The Prince Consort; 26 August 1819 – 14 December 1861) was the husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was born in the Saxon duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld to a family connected to many of Europe's ruling monarchs. At the age of 20 he married his first cousin, Queen Victoria, with whom he would ultimately have nine children. At first, Albert felt constrained by his position as consort, which did not confer any power or duties upon him. Over time he adopted many public causes, such as educational reform and a worldwide abolition of slavery, and took on the responsibilities of running the Queen's household, estates and office. He was heavily involved with the organisation of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Albert aided in the development of Britain's constitutional monarchy by persuading his wife to show less partisanship in her dealings with Parliament—although he actively disagreed with the interventionist foreign policy pursued during Lord Palmerston's tenure as Foreign Secretary.
He died at the early age of 42, plunging the Queen into a deep mourning that lasted for the rest of her life. Upon Queen Victoria's death in 1901, their eldest son, Edward VII, succeeded as the first British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, named after the ducal house to which Albert belonged.
The Queen's grief was overwhelming, and the tepid feelings the public had felt previously for Albert were replaced by sympathy.[108] Victoria wore black in mourning for the rest of her long life, and Albert's rooms in all his houses were kept as they had been, even with hot water brought in the morning, and linen and towels changed daily.[109] Such practices were not uncommon in the houses of the very rich.[110] Victoria withdrew from public life and her seclusion eroded some of Albert's work in attempting to re-model the monarchy as a national institution setting a moral, if not political, example.[111] Albert is credited with introducing the principle that the British royal family should remain above politics.[112] Before his marriage to Victoria, she supported the Whigs; for example, early in her reign Victoria managed to thwart the formation of a Tory government by Sir Robert Peel by refusing to accept substitutions which Peel wanted to make among her ladies-in-waiting.[113]
Albert's body was temporarily entombed in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle,[114] until a year after his death his remains were deposited at Frogmore Mausoleum, which remained incomplete until 1871.[115] The sarcophagus, in which both he and the Queen were eventually laid, was carved from the largest block of granite that had ever been quarried in Britain.[116] Despite Albert's request that no effigies of him should be raised, many public monuments were erected all over the country, and across the British Empire.[117] The most notable are the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial in London. The plethora of memorials erected to Albert became so great that Charles Dickens told a friend that he sought an inaccessible cave to escape from them.[118]
All manner of objects are named after Prince Albert, from Lake Albert in Africa to the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to the Albert Medal presented by the Royal Society of Arts. Four regiments of the British Army were named after him: 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars; Prince Albert's Light Infantry; Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, and The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade. He and Queen Victoria showed a keen interest in the establishment and development of Aldershot in Hampshire as a garrison town in the 1850s. They had a wooden Royal Pavilion built there in which they would often stay when attending reviews of the army.[119] Albert established and endowed the Prince Consort's Library at Aldershot, which still exists today.[120]
Biographies published after his death were typically heavy on eulogy. Theodore Martin's five-volume magnum opus was authorised and supervised by Queen Victoria, and her influence shows in its pages. Nevertheless, it is an accurate and exhaustive account.[121] Lytton Strachey's Queen Victoria (1921) was more critical, but it was discredited in part by mid-twentieth-century biographers such as Hector Bolitho and Roger Fulford, who (unlike Strachey) had access to Victoria's journal and letters.
Biography: Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (Albert Victor Christian Edward; 8 January 1864 – 14 January 1892), was the eldest son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), and the grandson of the reigning British monarch, Queen Victoria. From the time of his birth, he was second in the line of succession to the British throne, but never became king: he died before his father and his grandmother, the Queen.

Hello. I'm Charles from Louis Purple. We're in New York, and today we're going to learn how to tie the Prince Albert knot. Unfortunately, Prince Albert couldn't be with us today to explain to us why he named a tie knot. But it's pretty cool. Maybe one day I'll have my own tie knot as well. It's a pretty simple knot. You start with the wide end on the left hand side. You want to have the wide end much longer than the narrow end, probably about 20 inches depending on the width and the length of your tie. And it's really a good knot if you often have the problem of ties being too long, because it goes over twice.
We'll see it in a few seconds. You go twice over the narrow end. So it has the effect of making a longer tie the appropriate length. So in order to start with this knot, you, like I said, have the wide end on the left hand side. And you go over the narrow end once, under, over again. Not too tight, so you can pull the wide end through the loop afterwards. And then you just repeat another full revolution around the narrow end. Bring it up underneath, and finish up the knot by sliding it in through the loop. Adjust your collar. I'm using here a tie from my friend Patrizio from Capelli, handmade ties in Napoli, one of my favorite ties. And this is the result you should obtain with the Prince Albert knot. So a pretty formal knot, and it works with any type of collar, and it's pretty fluffy, and it should be asymmetrical.

Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom 1819 – 1901
Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria) 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901. She was the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. On 1 May 1876, she adopted the additional title of Empress of India.
Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died, leaving no surviving legitimate children. The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments; publicly, she became a national icon who was identified with strict standards of personal morality.
Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the sobriquet the grandmother of Europe. After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances. As a result of her seclusion, republicanism temporarily gained strength, but in the latter half of her reign her popularity recovered. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were times of public celebration.
Her reign of 63 years and seven months was longer than that of any of her predecessors, and is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover. Her son and successor, Edward VII, initiated the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the line of his father.

How Queen Victoria and Prince Albert Made Christmas Trees a Holiday Staple-Royal News
It's just one of many traditions popularized by the 19th-century royals.Before you discount the Victorian era for its notoriously prudish etiquette and over-the-top bustle skirts (truly the ultimate bump-its), you'd be wise to read up on all of the cultural traditions cemented during Queen Victoria's reign. After all, were it not for the 19th-century monarch, we might not celebrate Christmas with a well-appointed fir tree. .Though people across the globe had been decorating temples and domestic interiors with evergreen flora for centuries, the holiday tradition in its modern form originated with medieval Germans. The idea first spread to England through Queen Charlotte, Queen Victoria's mother—but it was Victoria's consort Prince Albert who brought them into the mainstream in 1848. The prince sent decorated trees to schools and army barracks around Windsor, but it was likely a visual that made British citizens tree-crazy. An engraving published in 1848 featured the Queen, the Prince, and their children decorating a tree. Given the family-focused culture of the era, it wasn't long before Christmas trees became a key component of a middle class family's holiday celebrations. Unlike today's royals, who aren't particularly hands-on with the palace Christmas decor, Victoria and Albert were very into the tradition. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert brought the tree into Windsor Castle on Christmas Eve and they would decorate it themselves, Royal Collection curator Kathryn Jones explained to the BBC. They would light the candles and put gingerbread on the tree and the children would be brought in. .Popularizing the Christmas tree is a pretty big coup, but that's not the only trend Queen Victoria and Prince Albert can claim to have initiated. Victoria is largely credited with paving the way for the white wedding dress, and also laid the groundwork for a modern monarchy, establishing protocols at the first State Opening of Parliament in the new Palace of Westminster that royals follow to this day, as well as supporting organizations as a patron. Indeed, buried beneath that voluminous bustle skirt was a fascinating leader.
