- Within the Blue Room of Windsor Castle on the 14th December 1861, Prince Albert the beloved husband of Queen Victoria succumbed to his death at the age of 42. He was a man who had experienced a lot of issues with his health throughout his life, and he worked very hard for the royal family and ultimately for his wife. He believed he had a strong sense of duty to the Queen, and across England in the years before his death Albert had a rather mixed reputation. Some believed he may have even been a foreign spy inside of the royal family and they were suspicious of him, but following his death the opinion of the Queen’s husband changed and they saw how much his death affected Victoria. She spent the rest of her life wearing black and in mourning, but Albert had been ill for a very long time, and the doctors when he arrived in Britain even claimed that a slight fever or cold could send him to the grave. Despite a postmortem not being performed of his body and an autopsy was also not performed, the doctors and his symtoms gave a very good opinion as to what killed him, and it could have been something that the doctors got very wrong, but were at the time powerless to treat. Let’s have a look at the death of Prince Albert and reach a conclusion as to what led to his tragic death.
Prince Albert ate quickly bc Victoria did. Once she was done, she had all the food removed from the table despite the fact that others had not completed their meal.
Victoria was all about Victoria.
It's so sad that her husband and children had to live with such a selfish person.
she sounds and looked like a real cow. narcissist.
How’d you know? 🤨 😂 where you there? 😂
@@thegrimreaper1991 It's well documented.
Probably because she was so controlled until she became Queen. I’m sure I read that her mother even slept in the same bedroom most of her childhood to keep control over her.
So Victoria was horrible to him, ignored his complaints then blamed her child for Albert’s death. She was some piece of work for someone who reportedly adored her husband.
She adored what her husband did *for* her. He was her security blanket.
Sounds like a normal married couple where the wife blames every one but herself for everything.
You know that is true. I know that broke her sons heart when his mother told him that. Fact is,Victoria was a mean little bitch.
Agreed. Albert did far more to enhance Victoria's reign than she did herself.
He did so much more for this country than Victoria , his ideas campaigns for social and scientific advancement for this country are just a few.
Pity he and his mrs did not stop the exporting of humans on transport ships to Australia till 1863.
Do you mean the convicts ,the ones who stole a loaf to live or the ones they knew had murdered but could not prove it beyond all reasonable doubt. Many came back after a few years and murdered again others went on. to become successful in a new world or some were farm or house slaves ?????.
What on earth are you on about? Or more to the point, what are you on? There were no murderers in the First Fleet - murderers were simply hung in Georgian England. Nor did they bother much with evidence at the Old Bailey - you only have to look at the flimsy evidence on which some of the First Fleet convicts were found guilty to realise that "proving it" was of little concern to the lawmakers of the time, who were under tremendous pressure to "do something" to dispose of the rapidly growing underclass that the Industrial Revolution had wrought. You have only to look online at the readily available Fleet's log to see the 'crimes' that the 700+ convicts were convicted of - they consist of such heinous acts as stealing a piece of cheese, stealing a lace handkerchief, or in the case of the women convicts, mostly prostitution to survive on the unforgiving streets of 18th century London. Please do name these "murderers but they couldn't prove it so they returned to kill again." Go on. Name them. I'll wait.
Wallpaper is hung. People are hanged.
YES , he helped the poor population, and made housing better.
Victoria has been vastly overrated. What did she actually do other than make her children’s lives miserable
She starved the Irish right good.
@@bridgetlyons876 the government starved the Irish, I say this as a half Irishman myself
Killed millions controlling India, screwed over the Irish, mourned Albert for decades but had multiple lovers..so 2 faced. Noone told from childhood they're chosen by God, ends up a balanced normal person
I think if you did a little research the answer would reveal that Queen Victoria was quite remarkable.
Queen Victoria sounds like she was a spoilt brat
To be fair to her, if you read about her childhood, you will not be surprised at the way she turned out. As a teenager, her mother's politically ambitious lover, Sir John Conroy, schemed against her in a number of ways, to try to exert his control over her.
Remind you of anyone ?
Most royals are spoiled
@@bevb752 I don’t see how a country like the UK who have, as of 2023, absolute poverty that stands at 18%, continue to support their royal family. They’re symbols of privilege and inequality, which don’t align in today’s society with contemporary values of social justice and meritocracy. It’s madness so many head out in droves just to see that whiny spoilt and ill mannered Mr Burns, oh I mean Charles. My bad.
She was raised to be a spoilt brat so she would be dependent and a puppet monarch. That backfired. If you read about other monarchs though, most if not all were spoiled,both men and women were demanding and had weird neurotic rules about there families and courts
This does make sense. Queen Victoria. She was not kind and loving to her children after Albert’s death . Very controlling. She blamed her son for the death of Albert.
Blaming others when it was her fault.
And Victoria was supposed to love him! What an awful woman she was. Totally self centred and everything had to revolve around her whims. How could she not have seen what a sick man he was? From what I've read about them both, and about their relationship, she just wore him down with her incessant demands and clinginess and Albert was glad to shuffle off this mortal coil.
Narcissistic women FTW!
Nonsense!
Albert must have good in bed because how many kids did they have ? 😂
Albert's death brought to the fore the worst aspects of Victoria's charater, she laid all the blame for his death on her son when in actuality if anyone was conductive to his demise it was herself; her treatment of him contributed to the breaking down of his health which made him more susceptible to illness and less able to fight it off.
Victoria seems very uncaring
I saw online that Albert himself suspected that he had stomach cancer.
So, there was no postmortem? Great title.
Click bait title
She is offering her own postmortem via researching Albert's health complaints throughout his life and coming to her conclusion based upon his symptoms.
And no autopsy apparently. 🙄
@@mizzyroro I think back in that time autopsy was frowned upon. I think it had something to do with the Christian belief that resurrection couldn't happen if the body wasn't whole.
@@SarahGreen523 sorry you missed my sarcasm. She said there was no post-mortem and there was no autopsy.
Talk about a narcissist. She was quite selfish. I feel bad for the silent suffering that he went through
I was thinking crohns, before you said it!!! Sounds just like my symptoms. Poor Albert.
I agree, very similar to mine too. We are so lucky to have such great drugs today to help.
Or IBS
@@laurenrose2895 ibs wouldn’t have caused damage or led to him dying
I agree I first thought coeliac disease
A friend's husband has ulcerative colitis. Apart from constant stomach upsets, he is always tired and can't get warm in cool weather.
Maybe she wore black all the time because she realized that he really was sick all that time and she didn't believe him. Maybe she was trying to make amends🤔
It was customary to wear black for at least a year back then.
@@jewel65 It was, but she wore full mourning for the rest of her life, and she outlived him by almost forty years.
I thought exactly the same.
@@jewel65Yes, for a year or so, but not for the rest of her life! And she really,left herself go as she was a very short but large woman! Her photographs in later years showed her as she really was!
A bit late so it seems.
Further proof to my theory that Victoria likely suffered from some combination of Narcissistic Personality Disorder compounded with some type of mood disorder like bipolar disorder or depression. He dealt with her lack of empathy and mood swings the best he could with the knowledge available at the time and probably shielded their children from the worst of her mood swings. I don't doubt she loved him, but her love for him was self-serving. She loved what he provided to her.
They gave her chloroform with her last children. It caused postpartum depression….which she suffered with all the rest of her life.
@MarnieSchalla it doesn't last for ur whole life
@@MarnieSchallaDon’t make excuses for her terrible behavior. She knew what she was doing. One miserable wife.
@@MarnieSchalla these people in the comments sound just as mean as Victoria sounded. I wonder if they’re related 😆
@@BruceLee-fd7uw lol bet it would be a thrill to be your wife. God you complain … saw you whinging in another thread!
The way their marriage is largely perceived is this rare and beautiful romantic love, especially for a monarch. But really Victoria was a spoiled brat who had no empathy for him. She even minimized his very real pain and suffering, and believed it was all in his head. This must have been very emasculating for him. He tirelessly did so much for her and his country-arguably much more than she ever did. And than when he succumbed to his illness, she made it all about herself. (And she probably mounted him for the remainder of her life v/c she was such a raging bish to him.)
I felt so bad for her younger daughters. The 4 yr old had to take care of her mother, then got mad when other girls fell in love.
This is so shocking to me. I thought they were the love affair of all time, and she was brokenhearted for the rest of his life following his death. I didn’t realize she lacked compassion and care while he was alive.
She was suffering from postpartum depression with her last 2 children. This was never treated; just assumed her moods were related to his death.
@@MarnieSchallaStop making excuses for her obvious English coldness
@@BruceLee-fd7uwWhy don’t you carry 9 children to term and see how your hormones react.
@@BruceLee-fd7uw The English are not cold
@@BruceLee-fd7uw you know you sound just as mean as she sounds
Yep, an IBD like Crohn's would be my first guess. It generally flares up at intervals during the patient's life and studies have shown that stress can be a trigger. But catching the measles probably didn't help. The virus may persist in intestinal tissue, particularly that affected by Crohn's disease, and acute measles complications may be fatal.
Geez, I didn't know that the poor guy caught measles!😮
I know of three people who died of measals, the Doctors called it brain rot in my day. We had two local guys who had the brain ages of 8 and 10 in our town because their mothers caught it when they were carrying them. Look out measles is making a comeback because all the ignorant people coming to our country. Just like TB
I didn't know that either. However, my knowledge about Victoria and Albert is very limited.
I'm surprised, too - I would have thought he would have had it as a child. However, he only had one brother and they may have been brought up too isolated to catch it the first time around.
I had measles as a kid 5 ,it was so mild I didn't even know I had it
@@BruceLee-fd7uw Me too. Unfortunately it's one of those diseases which are a nuisance in children but not much more, while they can be deadly (or at least severely crippling) to adults. Mumps are the same way.
Sounds to me as though she wasnt so much "grieving" for Albert after his death, but trying to ease a guilty conscience .........sounds like she wasnt too thoughtful of him when he living.
One reason I hate royalty. Believing one is appointed to be God’s representative and thereby the final word. Then the cruelty allowed to be dispensed upon others in the perverse belief that it is God’s will.
Don’t even have to be Royal to act like that.
I didn’t realize he was only 42 years old when he died.
His bedroom is cleaned and supplied each day as if he were still alive even now. Creepy.
If he had TB and typhoid, how did others around him escape infection?
Considering the way Queen Victoria was raised and how she was treated by her mother, I can understand why she didn't believe her husband was actually sick. Her mother did the same to her and it almost killed her. I don't think Queen Victoria was a pleasant person to be around.
Could have been sepsis due to bad tooth
Sounds like he should have married better, she seems not to have been very pleasant.
Couldn’t have been that infirm he managed to get his wife pregnant nine times, that’s not including all the other times they ‘did it’ and she didn’t get pregnant …
Men wake up with a stiff, it's not that hard to do
And she really,hated being pregnant and wasn’t the warm, fuzzy Mother to her children. I know people were raised differently back then, but she took it much further - not being an especially good. Mother to her children!
@@BruceLee-fd7uwyes but you’d better let them pee first.
Victoria loved him so much, but her upbringing left her without the tools to be compassionate. Maybe she just couldn't accept that she might lose him.
All wives say they loved their husbands after their deaths but show little sign of it when they’re alive.
@@map3384 Uhhh.... no they don't. You must be projecting.
@@SarahGreen523 Men know women better than you think we do. We just keep silent. Ever read the Widow of Ephesus? Women’s true nature.
Poor Albert 😢
The real royal love story that should be written about for centuries to come is Elizabeth II and Phillip.
Oh please. A man who was chronically cheating with other women all the time before their marriage and then all the years of their marriage. There are simply too many accounts to be dismissed as gossip. Philip was somewhat discreet in that he didn’t often appear in public with just the woman of the moment; there was usually a party of friends. They didn’t sleep together which again is documented. At least for awhile Victoria and Albert did, probably because she had the lusty temperament of her family. But Philip, although he was a good friend to Elizabeth and always gave her attention if she had a problem, was not the other half of a love affair. Frankly I would have liked to have given him a good swift kick in the stones.
@@laurenrose2895 there’s never been one proven instance of that. After 70 years of marriage, even if he had done that, that would have been in the early parts of the marriage. Moreover, someone would have spoken out by then…think of how many of the affairs the other royals have had, they all eventually come out. Smoke doesn’t always mean there’s a fire. They very obviously loved each other deeply.
@@laurenrose2895 There’s no proof of that. Just feminist dribble. She treated him pretty horrible too. She didn’t even allow him to use his name for their children making them bastards.
@@laurenrose2895 Can you back your assertion with any evidence?
@@felixthecat3n2 Yes.
He didn’t have a postmortem
Exactly. This video's misleading title is click bait.
Click bait title
Living with a spouse who has mental illness is very taxing and iff one is in the position of care giver, one can easily lose oneself
He had enough energy to produce how many children?
Victoria was a selfish woman her entire life.
Victoria treated her husband the same way Victoria’s mother treated her.
Sooooo difficult to take a shine to Victoria herself… Hv tried, read a lot, but NO
His Irish Subjects also suffered from Stomach Cramps.A million starved to death.many found in the side of the roads with the green juices of grass on their lips.
If Prince Albert had lived the whole country would have taken a different path to progress. He was highly intelligent and full of ideas eg engineering. He befriended Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his foreword thinking.
Did Queen Victoria ever smile? It just looks like she was unhappy all the time.
Cool video, thank you.☮️💜☯️
How on earth did he father so many children ???????🇬🇧❤️
Excellent. I learned a lot.
I love your narration
I find it odd that the Queen professed to be so devastated by Albert's death, yet gave him little or no sympathy while he was alive -
Sounds like he suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Not a fan of Victoria
Holy smokes!! Al was a mess.....
The part about becoming ill with a low fever cracked me up. When someone catches it, the illness has run its course and nature begins taking its course.
After his death she realized the enormity of his concerns and now she has to live with the quilt
Half way through and still no mention of the post mortem?
This video somewhat allays my longstanding suspicion that the remarkable Albert was covertly assassinated by dark government personages, in hopes that Victoria alone would prove more governable.
Instead, she just shut down...
He WAS an amazing and subtle creature.
Consider the comments made after reading the folowing.
Prince Edward was invited too meet 16 years old Princess Alexandra of Denmark, as the only available and suitable option for him to marry.
They met in September 1861 and they agreed to marry.
In December 1861, it was obvious that Alexandra was in child.
Albert was furious and went to confront Edward.
Alexandra was discreetly transported to South Africa to meet the intended foster family.
In June 1862, a son was born, unannounced, as he was illegitimate, he was then baptized and given an assumed name before sadly, being regrettably abandoned.
Alexandra returned to Europe and became engaged to Edward.
The descendents of this son discovered their identity after a DNA test.
The late QE 2 was informed who returned a lovely card.
After her death, no further correspondence has been made to the Royal Family descendents, indeed, many of the hidden Royal Family members are dying of "ill health".
The demise of these descendents is reminiscent of the Royal Romanov Family members, who were also rebuffed by the UK Monarchy 😮
It sounds like he suffered from some type of autoimmune disease, Lupus, IBS, Rheumatoid Arthritis etc….
I've never heard or read most of this before.
It sounds like Albert had Anemia.
B 12 deficiency because of Crohn desease.
Oh nooooo
I’ve often wondered if Queen Victoria spent the rest of her life in mourning because she felt dreadfully guilty that she hadn’t believed him.
She sounds like a nightmare to live with.🤨
And this was said to be one of the nost loving royal couple???🤣😅 Run Meghan and Harry! Run!!
She was something else, what a tyrant she was for her entire family
I have Crohn's, as does several members of my family. I feel badly for him if he suffered from that condition. It can cause a fatal blockage if not treated.😢
I’m pretty much the same person as Prince Albert 🙄🙄🙄
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E too?
Perhaps she was eaten up with guilt after Albert’s death knowing that she wasn’t the best of wife. He deserved much better than he got. He’s the Hero of this story.
I have Crohn's disease and it doesn't sound like it at all. Its more than stomach ache and red skin, which I've never had it seen. He would have been bleeding copiously from his anus every time he went to the bathroom if it were to actually kill him. He went through some stress and then died from Crohn's. That's an abnormally quick death from it. It took me years of Horrible stress to get to the point that I almost bled to desth.
Crohn's Disease is an inherited condition. Who else in P.. Albert's direct family also have, had, or have had this same auto immune disorder? Germany and England, etc. His descendants are global. Nice job.
Queenie didn't seem to have much sympathy for anyone else except for herself.
He fathered many children....for a "weak" man that is quite an accomplishment.
Victoria...the famine queen.
Vicky was a B a lot of the time!
Poor Albert suffering lifelong illness and his wife was abusive, nasty..
Queen Victoria was not a very loving wife! She blamed others for Albert’s death and then wore black mourning clothing till she passed! Maybe feeling guilty?? I doubt it!
I had no idea he died so young. So sad.
did they put him in a can?
It’s hard to speculate and you don’t include the medical treatments that could also have contributed to symptoms - medicine was still very primitive in 1861
Incorrect title and misleading/clickbait. Post mortem = autopsy which he did not have!
I think she is attempting to offer the postmortem he never had.
Poor guy.
Alright already! You know his cause of death. Typhoid fever.
Somebody is saying ‘preformed’?
Crohns disease?
Maybe a food allergy like celiac disease.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They look so old
I was under the impression that Prince Albert tobacco had gone away, and looked it up to find out when...only to learn that it's still available. Anyway, an old prank used to be to call a tobacconist on the phone and ask them, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" "Yes, we do." "Well, let him out!"
It's still sold in a can, but the last I'd seen it would have been in the eighties. I don't know of anyone in town that sells it, and we have one of the last remaining actual tobacconists...as opposed to things like head shops or discount tobacco shops...and I'm pretty sure he hasn't sold Prince Albert since the eighties.
*_Postmortem is an Autopsy..._*_ Title is so misleading even the narrator says there wasn't a postmortem!_
People are commenting on the selfishness of Queen Victoria, which of cause she was. Imagine since birth being treated as a living goddess, which is exactly what happened even though she was a mortal and not literally worshipped.
She most likely never, in her life, had to do one single second of manual labor nor even think for herself except to get her way whenever she wanted which in her personal life undoubtably happened.
Can’t believe they were first cousins, due to that hemophilia ran in the family.
Just another example of click bait.
There is this site's truth and Victorias truth and then the TRUTH were any of you the fly on the wallpaper?
He gave her alot of babies, could he have had CROHNs
no mention then of the (alleged) lover of Victoria, a steward, after her husband's demise. The title is a lie
It’s been written that theirs was the greatest love story. I read a book which the Queen enjoyed her time in bed with the Prince. Resulting in then et of children. She did not like being pregnant and did not like children. Being given credit for the Victorian age is laughable.
Victoria fue una bruja sobrevalorada.
I don't think she thought he was a hypochondriac and was being cruel, maybe she didn't want to believe he was always so ill, and was afraid to lose him.
Feel sorry for Albert ut he was himself controlling too. Also 9 kids in quick succession with no pain relief till no 8 couldn't have done Victoria any good. Victoria did suffer badly with post natal depression with no kind understanding from Albert. I suppose they did their best for each other considering it was an arranged marriage. X
The hype is because she didn't crack under pressure and was a mainstay to her husband her family her country and her people. That is hard enough to begin with but she did this for almost an entire century! That isn't something to sneeze at.
Queen Victoria was a very strong lady and a brilliant queen.
