Prince Albert did not become King George; rather, he was the husband of Queen Victoria and held the title of Prince Consort. Victoria and Albert married in 1840, and he supported her reign but never ruled as king. The title of King George has been associated with several British monarchs, with King George III, King George IV, King George V, and King George VI being notable examples. Each of these kings was a direct descendant of the House of Hanover or the House of Windsor, unlike Prince Albert, who was from the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family.
