Queen Victoria & Prince Albert [This One - Utada]

Queen Victoria I & Prince Albert
Alexandrina Victoria (Queen Victoria I of the United Kingdoms) was born on May 24, 1819 in Kensington Palace to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, and Princess Victoire of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.

Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel (Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha)
was born on August 26, 1819 to Ernest of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg-Altenburg.




The second meeting between Prince Albert and Queen Vicotira in October 1839, Vicotria fell head over heels in love with Albert. "dear Albert He is so sensible, so kind, and so good, and so amiable too. He has besides, the most pleasing and delightful exterior and appearance you can possibly see." Prince Albert was Victoria's first cousin. As a monarch, Victoria had to propose to him and she did on October 15, 1839. And on February 10, 1840, they were married at Chapel Royal, St. Jame Palace, London. England. Their marriage proved to be very happy. Both psychologically and physically. Their marriage resulted in 9 children ; Victoria, Albert (Edward VII), Alice, Alfred, Helena, Louise, Arthur, Leopold, and Beatrice.
Albert became not only the Queen's companion, but an important political advisor. Prince Albert was a man of progressive and liberal ideas. He led University reforms, he fought for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labouring Class, etc. His most rememberable achievement is The Great Exhibition of 1851 housed in the Crystal House in Hyde Park, London.
Prince Albert died on December 14th, 1861 at 10:50 PM in the Blue Room of Windsor Castle of typhoid fever. Queen Victoria never got over Alberts death. For the rest of her life she would wear only black (earning her the title of The Widow of Windsor) and she would have Prince Alberts normal attire and such set out for him everyday. This mourning would continue until she died on January 22, 1901.

Lyrics :
How can I put this, aye aye aye
I'm an independent woman, aye
I've been crying like a child
I just wanted you to know the person that I am
More than any other of your fans
I will love you for a thousand years
Yours truly

I ain't gonna play it cool
Let me tell you, I've tried that already
Every day and every night
Your words ring through me
Who am I trying to fool
Honey, I've been living on my own, like Freddie
But I'm still a woman
Baby tell me how

* How could I ever love another
How could you say you don't remember?
God knows I'd give anything
For just one more night together
Today I miss you more than ever
How could you say you don't remember?
This one's for the happiness
I'll be wishing you forever

It's just another Friday night
For you and your accessories
Lights and there you are before my eyes
Two hours and for fifteen minutes you are here
I don't wanna scream lest I should tear
A whisper in the darkness disappears
Sincerely

We should get back on the road
Like Simon and Garfunkel Let's get married
You are all the shelter that I need above me
Who am I trying to fool
Honey, I got your ringtone on my BlackBerry
And I won't give a dang
If only I knew how

* repeat

You got me crying like a child
Ain't no need for to lie
A hundred jpeg files
Filling up my hard drive
You got me crying like a child
And the crowd is going wild
This one; this is the one
Come on and give it up'

* repeat
* repeat

[HAHAHA44828]

did Queen Victoria dress in black all the time because she was sad about Albert's death???

[KaiserinFrederick]

@HAHAHA44828 Yes, in a way you could say that. Traditionally when one is in mourning for a loved one, one wears black, it's the norm even today. Queen Victoria wore black for the next forty years after Albert's death because she never really got over the loss of losing him.

[dibble2005]

In other words the British Royal family are German.

[KaiserinFrederick]

@dibble2005 Not necessarily. As of the twentieth century, the British Royal Family has become considerably BRITISH. Queen Elizabeth is at least half British through the Queen Mother (Elizabeth of Bowes-Lyon) and Prince William and Harry had Princess Diana (Spencer) as their Mother.

P.S. The Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Phillip, is from the Greek Royal Family which was itself originally Danish.

[tylrjsph]

how were they related from Queen Vics mom, first cousins share a grand parent right?

[KaiserinFrederick]

@tylrjsph Yes, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert shared a common ancestor in their grandparents: Countess Augusta Reuss of Ebersdorf and Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Queen Victoria's Mother, the Duchess of Kent, was the younger sister of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Albert's Father.

For all of those people who keep hating on my work, PLEASE LEAVE

[popazz1]

@supergraceland,

@luverlything - Did you see The Young Victoria with Emily Blunt? In the procession during the coronation Princess Beatrice is one of the Lady's in Waiting. Her mother, Sarah Ferguson was one of the producers. I really love this movie.

[KaiserinFrederick]

@ParisiAthina Most historians place the blame on her diet rather than her lifestyle for let us not forget that she was not viewed as "large" until AFTER the Prince Consorts Death (therefore after all her pregnancies)

[ParisiAthina]

@KaiserinFrederick : Beside the 9 pregnancies, there were other reasons why Victoria could eat heartily -see "The Condition of the Working Class in England" 1845 and 1885 editions, by Friedrich Engels easy to find online. I doubt you'll ever read this but honestly, you may be confusing a historical figure with some kind of fictitious, Sissi-like character, here... Reading V's diary is also a good way of taking some historical distance it does show how stupid and selfish those people were
