How is Prince Albert related to Queen Victoria?

Answer 1

It is not for certain that they were, but for all intents and purposes yes they were first cousins. The man commonly thought of as Alberts father Duke Ernest of Sax-Coburg and Gotha was the brother of Victoria's mother Duchess Victoria of Kent. There has been speculation because of the way that the marriage between Ernest and Louise (Albert's mother) ended (she cheated on him) that Alberts father was someone other than Ernest. Two contenders that I have come across are a Jewish musician employed by the royal couple and King Leopold of Belgium-who was the brother of Ernest and Victoria.

Answer 2

Yes Victoria and Albert were cousins. Her mother and his father were brother and sister. They met when they were teenagers because they are both German but Victoria moved to Britain unlike Albert.

Answer 3

Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was the husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He had one brother, Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Answer 4

Prince Albert and Queen Victoria were first cousins. They later married, regardless of this closeness in heredity.
