<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 12034, member: 57&quot;]I don&#039;t think it was&nbsp; Prince Albert who was Queen Victoria&#039;s husband.&nbsp; It probably meant:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<b>Prince Albert Edward Wettin</b> (1841-1910)</p><p>Prince Albert became King Edward VII in 1901. He took the family name of his father, Prince Albert, and hence on his coronation the monarchy moved from the House of Hanover to the House of Wettin. In 1917 his son, George V, in an outburst of anti-German feelings engendered by the First World War, changed the name of his house and family from Wettin to Windsor. Victoria and Albert imposed a strict regime upon Edward; this had the opposite effort than the one Victoria and Albert had hoped for, and he rebelled constantly with indulgence in food, drink, women, gambling and sport. He married at the age of 22 to Princess Alexandra of Denmark. She turned a blind eye to his extramarital activities, which continued well into his sixties, despite the fact he was implicated in several divorce cases. He had six children in total -- Albert, George, Louise, Victoria, Maude and John. Maude went onto [sic] marry into the Norwegian royal family and became the Queen Consort of Norway.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pbs.org/empires/victoria/majesty/children.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pbs.org/empires/victoria/majesty/children.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/empires/victoria/majesty/children.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
