Prince Albert
A strange side of history that doesn’t get spoken about very often is the intermingling of royal families. Prince Albert was married to Queen Victoria, who also happened to be his cousin! It was very common for royalty to want to “keep the bloodlines close” during this time period, and is still a common practice in some parts of the world. Prince Albert was different than most men of his time and preferred to focus on his family life rather than his political or royal life. His modern day portrait portrays an average man just trying to enjoy his life!
