The Queen's Husband: Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

In this second to last episode of our The Queen’s Husband series, I’m joined once again by the wonderful Dr. Linda Porter as we turn our attention to one of the most famous royal consorts in history - Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

So much of Prince Albert’s reputation has been shaped by the image of the devoted husband standing faithfully beside Queen Victoria, but who was he really? Linda explores Albert’s early life in Germany, his marriage to Victoria, and the enormous influence he had on the monarchy, politics, culture, and family life in nineteenth-century Britain.

From royal romance to political partnership, this episode takes a closer look at the man behind the title of “Prince Consort.”
