A Brief History of Marriage: How Love Conquers Marriage
Queen Victoria's husband is Prince Albert of Germany. When their son Edward VII ascended the throne, he changed his royal surname to his father's German surname Saxony-Coburg-Gotha. Later, due to the behavior of the Germans, Edward's son George V changed his royal surname to Windsor.

Lady of Prince Albert

Albert, 18 19, was born in Bavaria, Germany on August 26th, 2009. He is the youngest son of the Duke of Gotha in Fort Sacconi, and his brother is Ernest. His parents divorced when he was seven. Albert was educated at Bonn University. 1840, he married his cousin Queen Victoria.

They were all born in 18 19, only three months apart, and they are cousins of close relatives. Victoria's father, Duke of Kent, the fourth son of King George III of England, died when she was eight months old. Her three uncles George IV, Duke of York and William IV had no legal heirs, so she succeeded to the throne after William IV's death. Albert is the youngest son of the Duke of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha in Germany. King Leopold I of Belgium is Victoria's uncle and Albert's uncle. Victoria's mother and Leopold. I'm brothers and sisters. They planned the marriage of two little people early. Albert never thought about his marriage. At first, the young queen resisted and didn't want to give up the right to make her own decisions for life. Their marriage eventually became an unparalleled love legend in the history of the British royal family, but this legend was not as perfect as the fairy tale of the prince and princess.

He and she met at the beginning of 1836. Both of them are 17 years old, and they are equally different. Victoria is still a princess under the strict control of her mother. She comes from the Hanover family, which is famous for its uneducated and quarrelsome style and inherits the characteristics of her family: stubbornness and impatience. She is very independent, but she has no decent education. Albert is a model of virtue, wisdom and self-discipline, which is completely opposite to his father, Duke of Coburg, and his younger brother Ernest. He is very clever and has received excellent education in all aspects such as language, culture, philosophy and music, which an ideal prince should learn. Albert, 17 years old, conceited. Although he knew that he had been engaged to Victoria since he was a child, his attitude towards her was indifferent or even contemptuous.

Albert reads widely. He always seized every opportunity to enrich and expand his knowledge, from horseback riding, shooting, fencing, hunting and even small pranks to music, literature, metaphysics, law, economics and even mathematics and biology. Legend has it that every time he goes hunting, he brings back a large number of animal and plant specimens to enrich his knowledge of nature; He once succeeded in imitating a professor who suddenly fell down while running, but he had no choice but to find glasses, which caused the students to burst into laughter. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he began to devote himself to studying German literature and profound German philosophy. He once wrote a paper "On the Germanic Way of Thinking and a Brief History of Germanic Civilization", in which he tried to "reflect on the shortcomings of our time and call on all people to start from themselves and correct these shortcomings, so as to set a good example for others." His keen interest in his own national way of thinking played an extremely important role as an assistant to the Queen in the future. During his 1838 trip to Italy, Florence's art galleries and scenery delighted him. In a meeting with Pope Gregory XVI, he conquered the arrogant Pope with his profound knowledge. There is an anecdote about Albert's eagerness to learn. At a ball in Florence, people found that he did not pay attention to the noble and elegant ladies, but was immersed in a conversation with the famous historian Mr. Gabriel. Such an untimely situation was temporarily translated into a beautiful talk. At that time, Stoegan, who stood beside him and witnessed this strange sight, said, What a boastful prince! In front of him, a beautiful partner can't compare with erudition even on stage. Such an excellent young man didn't show much enthusiasm for Victoria. Although his grandmother, Grand Duke and Coburg's wife, Duke, Duchess of Kent and King Leopold put him and Victoria together, they talked about the world from the beginning. When he was 3 years old, even his nanny often told him that "the little English Mayflower" (Victoria was born in May) would become his wife, but somehow, he had an instinctive aversion to the opposite sex since he was a child. At the age of five, a little girl was brought to him as a partner at a children's dance. He was annoyed and angry and shouted. Although he later learned to hide his feelings in this respect, his feelings remained unchanged.

Victoria thinks Albert is kind, cute, smart and handsome. There were some rumors of engagement in England, but the parties themselves showed no signs of doing so. Three years later, the two met again, and Victoria was already the Queen of England. In this arranged marriage, the queen needs to give birth to an heir, and Albert reluctantly finds himself the husband who will make this goal come true. Victoria once fell into panic, regret and doubt: there will be an outsider to dominate her, she must promise that she will respect and obey, and someone will disobey and oppose her. How terrible! Why would she do that? She loves him, but she also loves power. One thing is certain: she may be his wife, but she will always be the king of England. He reappeared, wearing a beautiful uniform, and her hesitation disappeared like fog in front of him.

Edward VII

Edward VII, the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Saxony-Coburg-Gotha-Albert, was made a Guardian Knight, Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay and Earl of Dublin. /kloc-entered Oxford university in 0/859, and was the first crown prince to enter Oxford university. When I served in the Irish army, I was with an actress. His father Albert went to Ireland to persuade him and died on his way home. Therefore, Queen Victoria blamed Prince Albert's death on Edward's absurdity and forbade him to ask about state affairs or royal affairs. 1863, she married Princess Alexandra, the eldest daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark. 60-year-old Edward ascended the throne and was called Edward VII. As early as the Prince of Wales, Edward VII visited Europe and America and achieved great success. Before the death of Queen Victoria, Edward had promoted the initial formation of the Anglo-French tripartite agreement. 190 1 year, Edward VII succeeded to the throne, and then a tripartite confrontation between Britain, France and Russia was formed. Through this agreement, Britain has consolidated its position in the European continent. However, the formation of this alliance eventually led to the outbreak of World War I, so some people blamed the outbreak of World War I on Edward VII, who died in 19 10. Edward VII hardly participated in state affairs when he was young, so he lacked experience in dealing with state affairs. But Edward VII likes to socialize, so he is very popular in England. Four years after the death of the king, World War I broke out.

George V

George V, the second son of Edward VII, was awarded the titles of Duke of York, Guardian Knight, Baron Killarney, Earl of InFurness, Lord of the Channel Islands, Earl of garrick, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay and Prince of Wales within two years. Three years later, George V married Mary, the daughter of Duke Kurt. 190 1 year, Edward VII ascended the throne and made George Prince of Duke of Cornwall. 19 10, George ascended the throne and was called George V. During World War I, George V gave up the German surname and renamed the royal family "Windsor" to appease the people. 1936, George V died.
