“To Melbourne that morning after, Victoria scribbled an ecstatic message about her ‘most gratifying and bewildering night.’ She never thought she ‘could be so loved’.”

“Lehzen’s departure came as a consequence of Vicky’s falling ill a few months after her christening in February 1841. The Baroness had placed the nursery in the hands of a Mrs Southey and the Royal Physician, Sir James Clark, who had already discredited himself as a practitioner in misdiagnoses in the Lady Hastings affair. Clark trivialised the child’s rather serious illness as a minor colic, at which point Albert let loose with a ferocious colic of his own. In a note to Victoria, the Prince threatened to hold her responsible for their daughter’s fate. He launched into a tirade against the incompetent Clark, accusing him of poisoning Vicky with calomel. It would be on Victoria’s head if the child died, he thundered. It is not known what steps Victoria took to dismiss her guardian of nearly twenty years, though it would undoubtedly have involved a good deal of tears and hand-wringing. But in September 1842 Lehzen was gone, sent off with an annual pension of £800 to a town near Hanover, in which every wall of her small house was covered with portraits of the Queen.”

I honestly find they downplayed how horrible of a caretaker she was on Victoria ITV, clearly, she was fit to care for the Queen’s children.

Although their match may have been put together by others, Albert and Victoria fell in love at first sight. The couple became quite devoted to each other and the queen listening to her husband’s advice before that of most of her official advisors. But Albert’s health had always been fragile and by Friday, December 13 1861 was diagnosed with typhoid fever. In the King’s Room the Queen longed for some sign of recognition from her husband despite his deliriums. She leant forward and in German, Albert’s native language that she had grown up speaking, whispered in his ear: ‘Es ist kleines Frauchen’ – It is your little wife – and asked for ‘ein Kuss’ – a kiss – but he could barely raise his head. She retired to the anteroom, where she sank to the floor, her face buried in her hands and said: ‘Why must I suffer this? It is like tearing the flesh from my bones.’ Back and distraught, Victoria kissed Albert and clung to him. His breathing became gentle. ‘Oh, this is death,’ she said and added, ‘I know it. I have seen this before,’ as she knelt by his side. It took some persuasion to get her to leave the room. He was just 42. Victoria did not appear in public for three years. However, under the influence of the Prime Minister, she resumed public life. But Victoria never stopped mourning her beloved prince, wearing black until her death in 1901.

I need not tell you that since we left, all my thoughts have been with you at Windsor, and that your image fills my whole soul. Even in my dreams I never imagined that I should find so much love on earth, How that moment shines for me still when I was close to you, with your hand in mine.

Letter from Prince Albert to Queen Victoria, November 15 1839
