Interesting that Albert was still alive when this happened.

I don’t know why but I always had the impression that the marriage didn’t last all that long due to Albert’s early death.

They were married for 21 years and she was a widow for 40 more. Kind of easy to forget how long she was married because she reigned so long after Albert had died.

I think this very incident was the cause in Victoria’s eyes of Prince Albert’s early death. He traveled up to scold the Prince of Wales for his behaviour, and shortly after contracted typhoid and died, which probably didn’t do much for relations between mother and son...
