Albert Prinz von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha was the son of Ernst I Anton Karl Ludwig Herzog von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha and Luise Pauline Charlotte Friedrike Auguste Prinzessin von Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg. He was born on 26 August 1819 at Schloss Rosenau, near Coburg, Bayern, Germany. He married Victoria I Alexandrina Hanover, Queen of the United Kingdom, daughter of Edward Augustus Hanover, 1st Duke of Kent and Marie Luise Victoire Prinzessin von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, on 10 February 1840 at St. James's Palace, Chapel Royal, St. James's, London, England. He died on 14 December 1861 at age 42 at Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England, from typhoid fever. He was buried at Royal Mausoleum, Frogmore House, Windsor, Berkshire, England. He was buried at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England.
He was baptised with the name of Franz August Karl Albert Emanuel von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha. He gained the title of Herzog von Sachsen (styled as Duke of Saxony). He gained the title of Prinz von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha (styled as Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) in 1821. He was invested as a Knight, Order of the Garter (K.G.) on 16 December 1839. He gained the title of HRH Prince Albert of the United Kingdom on 6 February 1840. He gained the title of Prince Consort Albert of the United Kingdom (styled as HRH The Prince Consort) on 26 June 1857.
After a careful domestic education, the Prince, along with his elder brother, studied at Brussels and Bonn, where, in addition to the sciences connected to state-craft, he devoted himself with ardour to natural history and chemistry and displayed a great taste for the fine arts, especially painting and music. Gifted with a handsome figure, he attained expertness in all knightly exercises. Queen Victoria and he met first in 1836, and fell in love like ordinary mortals, though the marriage had long been projected by King Leopold and Baron Stockmar. The title of Consort of Her Most Gracious Majesty was formally confered in 1842, and that of Prince Consort in 1857. He abstained, with prudence and tact, from undue meddling with state affairs, whilst opening for himself an influential sphere of action in the encouragement and promotion of science and art. The Exhibition of 1851 owed much to him. He held strongly that Prussia should be supreme in Germany. - [1]
