Correction: Prince Albert died in 1861.
The romance between Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert is one of the greatest love stories in history. After a long history of arranged and often miserable marriages this couple found solace and comfort in each other and prioritized their happy family and domestic bliss even over the power of the British Empire.

"He was my father, protecter, guide, advisor-"
Girl, he was your cousin too
We love that🥰
It's quite common in royal families. Go research the Egyptian empire, you will see that some of them were brothers and sisters instead of cousins.
@@kd2838 yessum!
Well, it ain't like Victoria had a whole bunch of choices so that dating pool is very shallow.🙄
Damn: Albert was a every man: The Renaissance dude!
@@abbigailc.b2239 when the only people you socialised with were basically your own relatives it would be very easy to fall in love with your cousin
..Though who cares, they were in love.
"About the same hair colour as mine"
Well, darling, he IS your cousin, so...

Norah 8303 you’re comment took me out 😭😭😭
I know 😂
I thought that too 😂
Exactly what i thought when i've heard that 😂
I feel sad for them, that he died so young and she had to live 40 years without her greatest love after his dead.
Yes and Elizabeth Schuyler to :(( she lived 50 years without her husband Alexander hamilton
so sad

She mourned him for longer time than she was actually married to him
Though they were first cousins, they obviously adored one another. I find it interesting to consider how the world might be different if Albert had lived longer.
She would have had happy daughter.
Although i was thinking what if their love story had no children how history would be different. She obviously hated her children
@@mandype576
Victoria didn't specifically hate her children. She hated children in general, she thought babies were ugly, she thought breastfeeding was disgusting and absolutely hated being pregnant. The pretty intense love(bordering on worship) she had for Albert was really the sole reason as to why she had 9 children. She did love her children later although she could be very controlling over their lives.
Ultimate alternate history fodder tbh
@@pukingpanda1803 I agree--she probably struggled to be a mother and that reflected in her confusion at raising them, and I think it was very much connected to the failings of her own mother and childhood.
umpteenthusername Maybe, instead of now being a democracy, we'd still be a monarchy as the idea of only have a patriarchal royal family that was not politically engaged stemmed from Victoria mourning which reduced her to monarch only by name.
Lovely story. Albert is probably the only royal male ever that was only with 1 woman his entire life, and I think that's precious.
Really enjoying this channel, btw!
Not true there were others, like Henry VII of England was married to Elizabeth of York all his life
@@ananyathumma7791 and Henry VII's son had six wives
@@adityas3587 lol true his did have six wives
@wings of a butterfly yes Marie Antoinette's husband didn't even have any mistresses
What about George VI?
I’m gonna be real: Albert is a goal of a husband!
And cousin too.
Hell yes... The Hemophilia though...
@@cheslxy 😂
Chesley Sobrepena not the point.
I guess you're on the market, looking for a husband/wife? Marry your cousin.
I would make a joke about Alabama, but this is Victorian England so...
(Edit: just wanted to apologise if this happened to offend anyone? It is a pretty overdone joke, so it’s understandable that many people from Alabama in particular would be tired of it... once again, take this as you will, but know that I didn’t have any bad intentions with it... stay safe y’all!)
From there. 😂
im english
Make a joke about the Habsburgs then!
It's only trashy if you're poor.
Queen of Weebyland
Alabama isn’t even like that tbh.
(i’m from alabama, most of us are VERY religious)
I like how there are no comments about Prince Albert's piercing lol
@Avakin Alessia 5:15
oh shit
@Frick Me history buffs are always the kinkiest
is it on the ear :OOO
@@mzkii1002 ears are not the only body parts that you can put piercing
"She hated giving birth." - Well I didn't find it to be a walk in the park either.😒
WHO TF LOVES GIVING BIRTH THO
right??? as if that makes you a bad mom?
Lol yeah 😂
@@kristinabigail9922 it does not but Queen Victoria was a terrible mother
LaKiia McCall but she REALLY hated it. Giving birth is outweighed by having a child. For her, it wasn’t worth it.
Im glad Albert was so good to her after their difficult childhoods
*Edit*
"He died on December 14th, 1961, at the age of 142".
So young to die .....
And what a shame he had his whole life ahead of him.lol 😂
⬆️😂😂😂⬆️
😂🤣😂🤣😂
lol
if queen victoria lived through the WW1, she would have smacked her grandchildren for fighting each other
Not too sure. You should watch the video on her children. She HATED her children.
Well she did HATE her children so i doubt shell care about her grandchildren but who knows
Danisachan the process of children
Y’all she didn’t hate her children, she was abused by her mother and didn’t know better, she only hated childbirth... no kidding
@@Alice-mb3xf right! i remembered she loved her husband so much and he wanted lots of children so she endured childbirth even if she didnt like it. and she doesnt hate her children, she might be strict with them but she never hated them
Albert was afraid of Queen Victoria during her violent outbursts and being bad-tempered. Afraid that she inherited the madness of King George III, whenever Queen Victoria is in a bad mood Prince Albert would write handwritten letters and put it under the Queen's door to read. #Goals
wait that is so cute!!
Sounds like she was bipolar, like narcissist traits, she was IN LOVE with him and love have sex with him, borderline people are described to have huge sex appetitte and being great lovers, not so great parents tho, since they are selfish ... also she was so egocentrical ... she click all the boxes
Thank goodness for Albert. Their kids were lucky to have had a great dad
Yeah considering that Vicky was exactly the idol mother. Not many monarchs are good parents.
Well, from what I read, Edward had it rough because Victoria measured him against Albert, her idea of the perfect Man. Also, she blamed Edward's screwing around with a hooker for the reason Albert got sick and died.
Uncle Dad.
Tiger PinkLily How could she be the idol mother when the video said she was icy to her children?
@@unamed2516 Auto correct. Or dry sarcasm.
Price Albert died in 1961? I think you've got an error here.
I thought heard 1961, I think she meant to say 1861
i had to go back to make sure that i didnt mishear that bit
@@Kazzamatazzz yes I went back and listed a few times just to be sure of what I thought I heard and 1961 was what I heard but you know no one's perfect and I love her videos! Have a great day 😉
I thought that he died in 1868?
@@KaneshaAndrews 1861
Victoria never loved anyone as much as Albert - including her own children. I think she definitely had some attachment issues and aversion to motherhood in response her own upbringing. Albert on the other hand was a strict father, but very loving. As Prince Consort to a ruling Queen, I don't think he would've had much legal room to contradict his wife, even if they did argue sometimes, but he did try to educate all his children well and make them feel loved.
Too bad their grandson George V was a massive jerk to his kids (among others). Word is he made fun of future George VIs speech struggles and hated Edward as well.
@@thunderbird1921 Definitely true. Poor George (Bertie before his kingship) developed his stutter as a result of his abuse in childhood. Edward lashed out against his father by not behaving very princely or sticking to royal family custom, which doesn't excuse all of his choices but it does help to understand them.
The way you put it is so hilarious 🤣🤣 "legal room to contradict his wife" :>
Thank you, people are romantizing what could be the egocentrical queen desire to possess what she found the most gorgeous men , she was soooo attracted to him, yet hatrd her sons daugherts, is almost as she only think of her pleasure
My great ... Grandparents!💓💓
0:07 damn albert got them CAKES
😜👀👀
Buuuuuuuuut
thiccccc
He's thicc asf
SPLEENS
He was a Virgin,
And never had any lovers, other then his wife.
Says more about both,
Then most can understand. Not just in the 19th century/ today's world in very little differences with sexual exploits.
OMG, she was really smitten by Albert. She made it clear in her letters that she liked him and no one else. LOL
@Well known Yes! LOL!
Yes she there was definitely a sexual attraction at first but she and he trul loved each which was rare during those time. That was her man
🤣✌️cuz she is a queen.
VICTORIA AND ALBERT ARE A POWER COUPLE NO ONE IN HISTORY COULD NEVERRRRRR
... anddddd their cousins .-.
I beg to differ, Queen Isabella and King Fernando..
@@mzkii1002 that doesn't make a difference
Justinian and theodora
Charles V Habsbourg and Isabel of Portugal
Napoleon III and empress Eugenie
Élisabeth II and Prince Philip
Henry VII and Elisabeth of York
Mark Anthony and Cleopatra
Sultan Suleiman and Hurrem
Sultan Ahmed and Kosem
Empress of Russia, Tsarina Catherine the Great and Grigory Potemkin
If it werent for Queen Isabel and King Fernando, i'd say that Albert and Victoria were the most important couple in history.
But then again, would Queen Victoria's reign been as sucessful if it weren't for Albert?
History by Filipa the Spanish monarchs can’t compare to these two love bugs.
They took inbreeding to another level. Destroyed civilizations and were too Catholic for their own good. It was thanks to their policies that Spain is the pitiful poor man of Europe we see today.
@@Alusnovalotus not really, no.
honestly tho. i'm sure albert adored victoria but i can't help but think that he purposely got her pregnant just so he can stay as the regent and victoria HATED this. albert was an exceptionally smart man and had a great vision for the future. he's even called as "the king without a title" lmao
@@gunterlehzen214 i wholehearteadly think he was the best thing about her reign and that their descendants ( not their son though) prolonged the monarchy
Well, I think they kind of rulled together when he was alive, and after that he remained her true love and she continued to rule maybe with him as her support in her mind.
Albert: They set out a banquet for dead king every night? That won't do its a waste of money.
Victoria: SET OUT DEAD ALBERT'S CLOTHES EVERYDAY
settng out a banquet is more costly then clothing.
Good point
Quite a difference in cost.
Nah queen got a point 😂
Sweet home Victorian England
LMFAO
If they weren’t related, they would’ve been the perfect couple.
At least they were cousins and close in age (still weird but could've been worse in the relation department)
I mean we are talking about the 19th century, them being related was the most common thing tbh
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were cousins.
I would argue they where the perfect couple despite the relation
@@terrybardy2848 very, very distant.
Gist: Victoria really liked his face.
Her face look like Diana Princess Mother
They both like to get freaky also
Some of her diary is rather sensual and suggestive to say the least.
Yeah what abiut it ??? Kings always choose their wife or mistresses in their taste , why women can not ?
I think the Queen & John Brown were just great friends who cared a lot for each other. Men & women can have close friendships that are not sexual in nature.
Yup I agree
Yes I think the clincher was that her children used to jokingly refer to him as "Mama's lover." If they actually HAD been lovers, it would have been no joke. I think Victoria just missed having someone to take care of her and run the household the way Albert had - she wrote in her journal "how comforting it is to have a man about the house." She also relished the way Brown treated her quite like an ordinary person. Somewhat at odds with her position as Queen, informality and egalitarianism was a value Victoria held in high regard..
"He was my father"
_Your lil freak is showing Vicky 🤭_
JessCookie : Victoria grew up fatherless. She probably did seek “paternal” qualities in Albert and her other male confidants. It’s not that she was perverse so much as trying to compensate for an isolated childhood where her emotional needs weren’t met.
@@amasion2882 I am aware, it was a joke 😂
omygod even the emoji was italicized
@Charu Pawar The stupidest comment
Daddy issues...
though it's pretty common for girls that grew up without a father.
The Prince Albert part really got all my attention here. If that’s history, I wouldn’t miss a thing.
I figure it's a little more focuse on him because there's lots of documentaries about his wofe she was the queen after all
When you have heard the name of that piercing but never knew from what it came from... I'm liking this Albert guy already.
But seriously it seems they were really in love, the way she spoke about him and his actions speak volumes about how real their feelings were.😭😭😭
Where was this piercing I'm still confused lol
@@misssource3106 pretty sure it was somwhere on his genitalia or very close to it
@@misssource3106 It's a dick peirceing
She married him no matter what society said, you go girl✊🏼
Mara Oliver true
From what I've read, Victoria also helped lead diplomacy attempts with France (some old guard Brits were NOT happy about it). Took her 15 or so years, she made progress with King Louis Phillipe, only to have to start from scratch when he was overthrown in 1848. Finally she and Albert formed a working relationship with Emperor Napoleon III, and by the 1860s she had pretty much succeeded in ending the 800 year old feud (although some rivalry continued for a while).
Thunderbird 1 she was a legend
The one of the Royal couples that actually loved each other
Despite the whole American Revolutionary War controversy and his several bouts with mental illness, George III also had a very intimate relationship with his wife Queen Charlotte from what I've been reading (even though they barely knew each other before marrying). They had something like FIFTEEN children.
find a man like albert in a world full of henry (if u know what i mean 😂)
Yes yes yes 😂😂😂
The shade though... 😂
Haha...true...as Henry said to his wives 'I shall not keep you long'...
@Wild Flower they're refering to how much better Albert was than Henry the eighth.
Alright, calling my first cousin right now! I think he's single 🤔😆😆😆
soooo... Albert was our perfect skinny, brown and curly-haired, cult and handsome boy. He was literally perfect
Cult boys 😳😳😳
He was very handsome and royals were nostly ugly, the girl choose wisely, she was the queen , she choose the man she qould bang hahahahhahaha
People today may laugh at men who wait until marriage for sex, but oh man is it worth it. Just look at Prince Albert: He waited until marriage AND remained faithful to his wife during his entire marriage. As a result, look how happy and meaningful his marriage was. Men, be like Prince Albert.
People who had sex before their marriage can also be faithful, and have a happy wedded life. Depends on the person, not their sexual life!
@@flappycat8282 - So true!
I think it goes both ways, for both men and women.
You cannot use one relationship to set an example for everyone else. That’s ridiculous.
I think the thing that everyone should follow from prince Albert is his loyalty. It doesn't matter if you were virgin before marriage or not but being this loyal is important. Men and women be loyal like prince Albert and Queen Victoria
Doctor: alright your highness you need to stop having sex
Queen Victoria: excuse me? Have you SEEN my husbands cakes??
Or piercing? Lol
Ikr?!? I mean look at this he’s got the whole baking industry 4:22
Your majesty*
Ahaha 💚💜
She couldn’t keep her hands off Albert. To her he was too sexy and that D was magical. That’s why she was I mourning for those 40 years. She missed that D.
Their incest love story reminds me of that scene from Mean Girls:
Karen: You know who's looking fine tonight? Seth Mosakowski.
Gretchen: Okay, you did not just say that.
Karen: What? He's a good kisser.
Gretchen: He's your cousin.
Karen: Yeah, but he's my first cousin.
Gretchen: Right.
Karen: So, you have your cousins, and then you have your first cousins, and then you have your second cousins...
Gretchen: No, honey, nuh-uh.
Karen: That's not right, is it?
Gretchen: That is so not right.
😂😂😂
🤣
Machi Giceb lmfaooo ye
😂😂
I can heAR this comment
i immediately thought of that too lmao 😂😭
Her childhood really seemed to shape the way she loved. It’s like her mother and the Kensington System taught her love was a non renewable resource and therefore only based in expectation. You can even see it in some of her interactions with her children, like she was paranoid that Albert’s love for them would mean less love for her, as if that’s how it worked at all.
It’s no small wonder why losing Albert, who had seemed to her a source of complete, unending and unconditional love was such a shock to her system.
My heart is so warmed up. The fact that every child deserves unconditional love but the Queen didn't received this love from her parents but from her husband is pretty sad and beautiful at the same time.
“His hair is about the same color as mine.”... well he is your cousin so
Don't even try to copy...
Please don’t copy it’s not funny it’s embarrassing
copied
😂😂😂😂
That doesn't always matter. Siblings can have different hair colour. More likely is the fact that dark hair is more common than light hair.
Where can I get myself an Albert
Ya feel me.
Ur cousin

I have huge respect for this couple.
I vaguely knew he was young when he died, but i was thinking like early 50s, not 42, omg. That's terrible.
She was also buried with a lock of John Brown's hair, and his mother's wedding ring that he gave her

@@flowermagnolia4551No
Albert was an amazing man. Always thinking ahead, cared about the people unlike other royals, was kind and an abolitionist. He was a true King. He didn't own the title, but there was no need for it. He already knew it.

Just in time for Valentine's day. So perfect ❤
I’ve read extensively about the couple but I did not know that Prince Albert actually had that “piercing” down there for the reason you mentioned! I always knew it was named after him, but I always wondered why... And now I know lol
That's just a unsubstantiated rumor
What a beautiful, historical story! ❤️❤️❤️
They treated each other well and obviously loved each other, but they look wayyyyy too much alike.
Dez Biggs that’s what I’m saying
I mean, they are related
Oh damn! Yes she made a mistake. If somebody else said it, why repeating it over and over?!
IKR?
@@callarose9432 So annoying Ugh!
exactly!! like what do they think she's gonna do, redo that whole video just because she made a mistake?
Lighten up, you bunch of Funsponges.....most people don't scroll through the entire comments section to check before posting.
"He attended the University of Bonn, where he studied law, politics, economics, philosophy and art."
Me: *studying only english and german literature and being on the verge of a mental breakdown every time a linguistics exam comes around* can't relate.
Did they gave exams at the time?Cuz if not that would be why
Something to remember is that Princess Victoria was under constant danger of being murdered because of her position in line for the throne. Her mother was protecting her daughter, possibly over protecting her, yet, her mother loved her enough to go to such extremes.
Queen Victoria & Prince Albert were cousins, yes, however, even commoners (non-royals) married their cousins. It was acceptable at the time. Some things that people do, in 2021, would be considered vulgar indeed sometimes criminal at the time of Victoria & Alberts era.
There were fewer people on the earth, farther apart, travel was expensive. Meeting someone outside of family members such as cousins, aunts & uncles was more unfeasible than it is, now.
Such legendary love is impossible in today's era. He was the best of the best and she was the most powerful women of that time. They made a great couple. Wish they had many more years of bliss together.
0:28 No, Victoria was not the only surviving child of her generation. She did have a few living cousins from her father's side behind her to the succession of the throne; however, she was the first in line to the throne then.
Perfect Valentine love story! My favorite couple! Thank you for the video!
Victoria during their honeymoon: Damn Albert! For a virgin, you are a master in bed. Give me 9 children!
Lol I thought i was the only one who thought That!
I'm actually just astounded that Albert was such a tiger in bed considering they were both virgins. Was it just that he had all that pent up passion to release? Or perhaps he wasn't really that great but Victoria, being a virgin herself, had no one to compare him with? I guess we'll never know
@@chooseyourpoison5105 Well it was normal back then to have "tutorials" as classes for male royalty 😅.
Considering how passionately in love they both were with eachother and how it was FAR beyond sexual love, I like to think that (as cliché as it sounds) much of the pleasure they felt was amplified by their pure emotional and mental attachment to eachother. That and being two virgins who actually wanted to have sex with eachother and were in the very narrow situation in society where having that much sex was socially exept able (because they were married and all that) for them, they kinda hit the jackpot of realistic sex lives for themselves
@@reddiamond_1753 Yup, I also read that their sounds when making love embarrassed the palace workers. LOL :D
Yo their marriage was goals😭 except for the cousin part but dam:(
You would be shocked to know but even today the elite marry within the family to keep the bloodline "pure" and historically royals very rarely married out of their family or even common folk because they lived and died in the same place of their birth and usually married their cousins

Glad she knew what she wanted and got it. First time I hear this in any royal history story.
Albert died in 1961, aged 142, outliving Victoria by 60 years

I have to admit , I know a lot of these stories...or I thought I did. Love the way you tell them, so many details

"She did not enjoy being pregnant, and _hated_ giving birth."

At least she was open about it, most wouldn’t talk about it
@ Choryllis, not all women. My bff is her most beautiful when she’s pregnant. She doesn’t gain much weight, her skin, hair and nails get SO healthy and gorgeous looking, she never gets morning sickness and has never been in labor longer than an hour with each baby (she has 3 babies). Does she “love” it? No. But she doesn’t hate it either cause she wants a 4th!

I really like you videos, and never get tired of listening to these videos as sound books in the background. Hope Im not to forward, but may I say that you have such a great charming voice.
Love Victoria and Albert I'm so very interested in royal history thank you for a great video
Another great video as always ! I’m loving your recent mini biographies on queens and can’t wait to see what you upload next! Thanks Lindsay :) xx
It's interesting how Albert considering his childhood, abandoned by his mother and being distant from his father, managed to become a pretty stable and intelligent individual. Not only did he have a a bright vision for England, but he seemed to be a pretty resilient person - Victoria loved him deeply and he was the only one who could understand and handle her tantrums. He was also known to be a strict but loving father, in general all of his kids adored him. I even read somewhere that Victoria admired Albert's calm demeanour and his view towards children, because she herself could never relate to it. I understand why England is proud of Prince Albert, he seemed to be a very smart and gathered individual.
Such a captivating royal love story! Victoria and Albert's journey is truly timeless and enchanting. This video beautifully captures the essence of their relationship. Love, royalty, and history all wrapped up in one!
Despite the fact that Albert’s mother left their household when he was young, if it affected him, he doesn’t appear to have ever shown it through his behaviour. Not as an adult anyway. I don’t want to judge his mother for what she did. Maybe she gave him a lot of love before she left, and maybe he knew she loved him even if they weren’t living together.
Princess Louise, Albert's mother, left because she could no longer bear the humiliation of Prince Ernst's constant stream of mistresses that he didn't even bother to hide from her. Unfortunately Ernst then refused to let her see her two sons, much to her distress, showing that using the kids as weapons in a nasty separation isn't just restricted to the 21st century. It was partly because Albert saw how much distress his father's loose morals caused his mother, that he became such a paragon of virtue and uprightness himself.
Just wanted to say I love your channel! It’s so interesting to watch, so many new people to learn about. Thank you for your amazing videos.
Bro the love story of Victoria & one of the servants,Abdul is a whole other roller coaster of emotions🤯
Prince Albert's year of death was 1861, not 1961, as is stated in the video.
"We did not sleep much"
Me: Well, is it my fault?
Also me: 🙄😳😩😒
It's sad that he died so soon and the Queen had to lived for the next 40 years without the love of her life.
She was 42 when her husband died, that's what make it more easy.
However what about your parents and grandpas?
You can say what you want but this is a true lovestory
I wonder how things would of been if Franz Joseph had married her.
The Darksider Not Allowed. Franz Joseph was a Catholic.
@@AtaMarKat Not allowed. He wasn't close blood family
Franz Joseph was the leader of a majority Catholic empire, so it probably wouldn't have been permitted. He did end up with Sissi though, so that was another of the sadly rare cases where a royal marriage was actually intimate to some extent.
@@thunderbird1921 That's why we have Alternative History.
They look so similar to each other in the paintings. Wonder if it was artist depiction or being first cousins.
Probably being first cousins
I reckon it’s a mix of both. They probably shared features because of all the incest, but the look of a “ matching royal pair.” Was also appealing to the public.
I enjoyed all your videos. You have a beautiful voice.
Another amazing video Lindsay!!! Thank you!!!
what a lovely sad story, i thought she had been forced to marry like everyone else
Albert is the kind of guy we all want to marry.
everyone, say it with me now,

I enjoy your video's. wanted to let you know at about 10:28 you said Albert died in 1961, instead of 1861 figured you threw that in there to see if we were paying attention. ;)
I love your videos always, you're amazing!
Such a lovely story
What about Edward vii
Can you do a video highlighting the "royal disease", hemophilia, and it's impact on the many different royal families? thanks!
Oof Russian Family
diary entries two centuries ago sound like a whole excerpt from some famous novel
It would be a perfect love story if they weren’t related. I can’t even think about starting a relationship with one of my cousins 😖
In our generation the cousins are so close to each other just like siblings that's we're finding it gross but in that generation especially the royal cousins were not at all this close so they were almost strangers you can say
I’m pretty sure this practice was common back in the day, especially among nobility. That’s why nobody every questioned it because they didn’t know it would create issues. It’s only because our morals changed today.
For those wondering, at Albert's deathbed only Vicky, Affie, Leopold and Beatrice were absent. The first three were travelling and Beatrice (who was only four at the time) had been put to bed earlier.
Bertie joined his siblings last-minute, after having earned his parents' forgiveness in Albert's final hours.
