Queen Victoria's husband (Prince Albert) died from a small disease called Typhoid. During them days, there was NO cure for it. FACT: Prince Albert did not have royal blood, so he NEVER became king! But He married a Queen? :S This made no Difference. He did Not have royal blood. Tyy x
Prince Albert mostly spoke German, and perhaps a bit of English to his wife 'queen Victoria'.This is a very good question. I came away from the movie "Young Victoria"with the feeling that much of the dialogue in the movie, in reality, would have taken place in German, particularly between Victoria and her mother (of Saxe Coburg) and between Victoria and Albert. Generally a mother passes her first language to her children and I doubt that would be different in this case, particulary when a German-speaking (half) aunt and maids were prominent in Victoria's early years. And frankly - all that English between Leopold and Victoria's cousins in Belgium and Saxony, is fantasy stuff. It wouldn't happen now and English didn't have its current prestige in the 1830s.

King George V of Great Brittan's grandmother was the indefatigable monarch whose reign defined much of the nineteenth century; Queen Victoria. King George was the second of the five children of Victoria's heir, The Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra of Denmark. Ironically, George was not the first in line to succeed the throne rather his brother, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. When Albert Victor passed away from Typhoid Fever in 1894 his place in succession passed to George, then the Duke of York along with his Duchess; May of Teck who became Queen Mary, the present monarchs Grandmother.
They were both ethnically German. Victoria's mother was fully German and her father was descended from Germans. Her governess was German and she spoke German before she spoke English. Albert was Victoria's cousin and was fully German. The Germans came in when Queen Anne (1665-1714) died without any heirs. The throne was to pass to her cousin Sophia, Electress of Hanover (1630-1714) (German), but Sophia died before Anne did, so the throne passed to her son who became George I (1660-1727). So all the monarchs of Britain since then have German ancestry. By Lemonelle
it affected her because she was blind No, she wasn't blind, she could see until the end of her life in 1901. She was very severely emotionally affected by Prince Albert's death, and shut herself away from public life for over a year. She needed much persuasion to show herself in public again.
