Queen Victoria'S Empire Risk Assessment Form - York: Fill & Download for Free

Apart from Prince Albert's feelings towards Victoria, which are documented as being loving and passionate, although perhaps not as loving and passionate as her feelings towards him, he also had strong views about the sanctity of the marriage bed.He had been damaged as a child when his father repudiated his adulterous mother, and yet carried on his own adulterous relationships with impunity.He became estranged from his brother Francis, when Francis started living a loose moral life, with mistresses.When his eldest son, the Prince of Wales was reported to have enjoyed his first mistress (or relationship with a prostitute, at any rate) Albert was horrified, and went to remonstrate personally with the Prince about his loose morals. The visit was said to have contributed to Prince Albert's death, as he was already ill and they walked in the rain. Whether it did or not, it showed how committed Albert was to sex only taking place within marriage. He was the original Victorian prude.I don't think Albert was a hypocrite. I'm sure he only had sex with Victoria, within their marriage. He would never have condoned infidelity, and would not have been unfaithful.

First, Thank you for the A2A, Mike Ingram!Yes, she did, but only a half sister. Her name was Feodora. She was 12 years older than Victoria. From Princess Feodora of Leiningen - Wikipedia:“Princess Feodora of Leiningen (Anna Feodora Auguste Charlotte Wilhelmine; 7 December 1807 – 23 September 1872) was the only daughter of Emich Carl, Prince of Leiningen(1763–1814) and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (1786–1861). Feodora and her older brother Carl, 3rd Prince of Leiningen were maternal half-siblings to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.”Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld was also Queen Victoria’s Mother. More about Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld’s marriages:On 21 December 1803 at Coburg, a young Victoria married (as his second wife) Charles, Prince of Leiningen (1763–1814), whose first wife, Henrietta of Reuss-Ebersdorf, had been her aunt. The couple had two children, Prince Carl, born on 12 September 1804, and Princess Feodora of Leiningen, born on 7 December 1807.Princess Victoria of Leiningen married again after her first husband died. Her spouses were:Emich Carl, 2nd Prince of Leiningen(m. 1803; died 1814)Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn. (m. 1818; died 1820)Wikipedia tells us this about Feodora. I bolded the references to Feodora and her half-sister who would later become Queen Victoria:Feodora was born in Amorbach in Bavaria, Germany on 7 December 1807 to Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and her husband, Emich Carl, Prince of Leiningen. Her father died in 1814.On 29 May 1818, her mother remarried to Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III of the United Kingdom. The following year, the household was moved to the United Kingdom since the duchess' pregnancy was coming to an end and so that the new potential heir to the British throne could be born on British soil. [1].[2]By all accounts, Feodora enjoyed a very close relationship with her sister Victoria, who was devoted to her elder half-sister. [3] [4]Despite this, Feodora was eager to leave their residence at Kensington Palace permanently, as her "only happy time was driving out" with Victoria and her governess Baroness Louise Lehzen, when she could "speak and look as she liked". [3]MarriageIn early 1828, Feodora married Ernst I, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1794–1860) at Kensington Palace. Prior to that, she had only met him twice. [5]After their honeymoon, she returned to the German Confederation where she lived until her death in 1872. [3]The prince had no domain, however, as the principality had been mediatised to Württemberg in 1806. [citation needed]. The couple lived in the large and uncomfortable castle, Schloss Langenburg. [3]Feodora maintained a lifelong correspondence with her sister and was granted an allowance of £300 whenever she could visit England. [6]Sculpture on the tomb of Princess Feodora of LeiningenFeodora's youngest daughter, the Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen, died in early 1872 of scarlet fever. [7]. Feodora died later that year.Thank you again for this A2A. I did not realize that Feodora lived at Kensington Palace with her mother and her little half-sister for ten years or that her marriage took place there. I knew that Queen Victoria had an unhappy childhood at Kensington, but did not realize her half-sister lived there with her for quite a long time or that, from her own words (above), Feodora was not happy at Kensington either.Note: 12/26/2019:Feodora’s portrayal on the Masterpiece television show “Victoria” is also not true. She lived with her husband during her marriage and was mother to six children. She did not live with Victoria in England.In Victoria Series 3 (2019), Feodora is played by Kate Fleetwood. In the programme, Feodora is portrayed as a scheming, jealous sister who has fled Langenburg and refuses to return to her home, although this is not historically accurate. Also, Feodora claims that King William IV (who was Victoria's paternal uncle, but not related to Feodora) wanted to marry her, [9] but there is no historical evidence that this occurred.Sad that a seemingly quality production takes such license and misrepresents the facts. Many will see “Victoria” and believe the representation of Feodora as jealous and scheming trying to come between Victoria and Albert and believe it. But it just is not true.

‘The royal families of Europe frequently intermarried, both to maintain their royal bloodlines and to preserve some balance of power between the various empires. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip are both related to Queen Victoria. Elizabeth is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother. Working backwards in time, the tie can be traced:Elizabeth's father was George VI (1895 to 1952). He married Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (1900 to 2002) in 1925, and they had two daughters, Elizabeth II, and Princess Margaret.George VI's father was George V (1865 to 1936), Elizabeth's grandfather. He married Mary of Teck (1867 to 1953) in 1893, a German princess raised in England.George V's father was Edward VII (1841 to 1910). Elizabeth's great-grandfather. He married Alexandra of Denmark (1844 to 1925), a Danish princess.Edward VII's mother was Queen Victoria (1819 to 1901), Elizabeth's great-great-grandmother. She married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840.Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is one of Queen Victoria's great-great-grandsons:Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg (1885 to 1969), married his father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark (1882 to 1944), in 1903.Princess Alice's mother was Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine (1863 to 1950), Philip's maternal grandmother. Princess Victoria was married to Prince Louis of Battenberg (1854 to 1921) in 1884.Princess Victoria of Hesse and by the Rhine was the daughter of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (1843 to 1878), Philip's great-grandmother. This Princess Alice was married to Louis IV (1837 to 1892), Grand Duke of Hesse and by the Rhine.Princess Alice's mother was Queen Victoria, Philip's great-great-grandmother.’
