Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ~ Part Three

An interesting (though I feel quite bias) documentary created by UKTV History on the life of Prince Albert, prince consort to Queen Victoria. It solely focuses on a more realistic view of his relationship with his wife and his relentless pursuance for power, displaying him as a domineering character.

Please note that not everything in this documentary is true as I noticed some inaccuracies used quite frequently, though you might not really care too much!
I hope you enjoy it!

are they making him out to be Hitler? This actor is made to look like hitler...how horrible

[GriffinNary]

@lukemack Lol! Thats exactly what I thought!

You have to take into consideration though, that these views given are mainly the views perpetuated by the media of their day (particularly "Punch" and "The Times").

I'm with most people when they say this documentary is bias to the max.

Wow this is so biased its unbelievable. All this documentary seems to do is make Albert seem like a power hungry manipulative man and not exactly a good father. I think Albert was a good man. None the less a very interesting documentary :)

This documentary is so biased. Poor Albert, requiescant in pace. They are making the Prince sound like some kind of Hitler. I bet these people made a secret doc saying that Hilter was really a good man!!! If Victoria heard this, they would be hung, and the Queen would say 'We are most amused'!!!

QUICK TO JUDGE LEHZEN? oh come on. Albert was right in the end. Lehzen had made the mistake to choose who would take care of the first princess, she made her mistake. Albert was caring and he saw that mistake.

Victoria was FURIOUS? My gawd, explain their nine children please. Please just don't tell me they had sex for the heck of it and didn't know the consequences, or that Albert was actually doing this to gain more power over Victoria...this is so frustrating.

I think maybe Bertie had dyslexia.

[LMPierce1990]

I did have a suspion that he was a mentally abusive husband.

The documentary writers are fools - e.g. George III was VR's grandfather, not uncle. This is infotainment, impure and adulterated.

@tropicaldream22 Couldn't agree more! 

[ApolloDio87]

Albert is the best thing that could have happened to Britain! The makers of this rubbish should be ashamed for slandering the reputation of a man who deserves praise and respect for being an enlightened beacon in a time of uncertain change.

so bias, i cant believe it. i am a lover of victorian history and this is not how i would like a man who made our country better to be remembered, so insulting not only to albert but to victoria, makes her out in my view of this to be so in love that nothing else matters. they made our country better

[TheIridescentDreamer]

Why wouldn't she want a lot of kids?! She was an only child and I bet she felt quite lonely being an only child, besides her half-siblings.

You obviously haven't read Gillian Giles book on both Albert and Victoria. Now thats insulting and degrading to Alberts memory (not to mention inaccurate on so many anecdotes).
