Thank you for this lovely link! Prince Albert really stands out for me as one of the most wonderful men in history: tolerant, yet principled; brilliantly gifted, yet with a heart; traditional, yet forward thinking....Sigh...Just such an amazing man, who completely changed the perception of the monarchy merely by being true to himself - and so handsome, too!
He is a very appealing figure, indeed. Thank you for the kind comment.
Christina,
I agree. Prince Albert was a brilliant man. I just wish we had more men and women like him!
Albert was Leopold's son - it all makes sense. The devotion, the grand schemes for Albert's life.
-Lee
I have never seen proof that he was Leopold's son, but I know there has been speculation on this.
