When was Queen Victoria's husband born?
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
