The worst day of Queen Victoria’s life came on 14 December 1861 with the death of Prince Albert, her adored husband of twenty-one years and father of their nine children. The death of the Prince Consort was all the more shocking as he was only 42 years old and it sent Victoria into an emotional spiral from which she never fully recovered, leading her to withdraw from public life and wear black for the rest of her days until her own death in 1901.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were first cousins and one of the great love matches in royal history, with no reports of adultery on either side. In this royal history documentary from History Calling we look at what killed Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and at his wife’s response to his loss. I’ll take you through the Prince’s final illness, the reason his wife would always blame their oldest son, the future Edward VII, for Albert’s untimely death and Prince Albert’s funeral and final resting place. We’ll examine the theory that Prince Albert died of typhoid, plus some of the other theories as to what killed this royal Prince whose passing has become one of the most famous royal deaths in British history thanks to the impact it had on his wife.
