sake of exercise and for the pleas
of the scenery into which they
ried him.
The house of Coburg was in tin
ly related by marriage with the
al family of England. In 1816 Pr
Leopold, tho youngest broth*]
Prince Albert's father, had mar
the Princess Charlotte, then presu
rive heiress to the English thr
After her untimely death, the D
of Kent married the youngest si
of the Duke of Coburg, and on
24th of May, 1S19, she presei
him with a daughter, who was def
ed to become Queen of England,
long before it was known that
would ascend the throne the ide
her marriage with one of her Cor
cousins had taken such root in
family that Prince Albert's ni
was in the habit of prattling to
infant charge, when he was c
three years old, of bis destined b:
in England. In 1836 there wa
longer any doubt as to the succ?s!
of the Princess Victoria to the thn
and already several aspirants for
hand were in the field. King I
poid, her uncle and loved advise
all matters, greatly desired her n
riage to Prince Albert ; but he i
desired that the union should be
of affection, and not merely on
political expediency. He there:
arranged with the Duchess of K
that she should invite the Duke
Coburg and his sous to visit ber
Kensington Palace. The object
the visit was kept strictly secret fi
the Princess and the Prince, so a?
leave them completely at their ei
The Prince's graudmother had, i
true, often spoken to him years
fore of her earnest desires ou t
subject; but he had no reason
think this was more than a fare
wish, and the Princess at least A
left freely to the impulse of her o
inclination. Her uncle, King L
poid, saw.that the impression was
forable, and made her aware of
wishes in the matter. Her ausv
made it impossible to doubt how i
tirely those of the Princess were
accordance with his own. lu Ju
1S36, soon after Prince Albert? i
parture from England, she wrote
the King: " I have only now to I
you, my dearest uncle, to take c:
of the health of one now so dear
me, and to take him under your s]
cial protection. I hope and tri
that all will go on prosperously a
well on a subject now of so ma
.mportance to me."
The Prince, however, waa still kc
in the dark ; but his education w
directed with a view to the possibi
ry of his marriage with the Engli
princess. He and his brother Wt
sent to Brussels, where, under t
care of Baron Wiechmann, a retir
officer of the English German Lej
on, they remained for a period
twelve months, closely occupied wi
the study of history, the modern Ja
i-ouagos, the higher raathem.ati?'i^?i
Froto isnjsser?rthey 'went'to Bon'
where they remained eighteen mont]
While they were still at that univ*
sity the de th of William IV., Ju
20, 1837, threw upon the Princ<
Victoria, then only eighteen yee
old, the grave responsibilities
Queen of England. Her accessii
to the throne revived the rumoi
which had been for some time cu
rent, of a contemplated marriaj
with her cousin, and it was thoug!
expedient by their uncle, with tl
view of withdrawing public attei
tiou for the time from the youri
princes, that they should spend tl
autumn ot 1S37 in making a tot
through Switzerland and the nort
of Italy. September and Octob?
were accordingly spent in a tboroug
exploratior of Switzerland and th
italian lakes on foot-a mode of tra\
eling of which Prince Albert wo
very fond.
But the time had arrived whei
the question of the English marriag
had to be settled. King Leopold dc
sired that some decisive arrangemen
should be made for the year 1S39
but to this the Queen demurred, fo;
reasons which her uncle consid?r?e
conclusive. She was herself, sh<
urged, too young, so also was tht
Prince, and, moreover, his master)
of the English language was still
very imperfect. The Prince, on be
ing made aware of what was propos
ed, and of the necessity of delay,
very sensibly declared himself will
ing to submit, if he had only some
certain assurance to go upon ; " But,'
he said to King Leopold, " if after
waiting perhaps three years I should
und that the Queen no longer desir
ed tho marriage, it would place me
in a ridiculous position, and would,
to a certain extent, ruin all my pros
pects for the future." This serious
question was, however, soon settled
in a way entirely satisfactory to the
Prince ? mind, and in the winter of
1838 h_ set out on a protracted and
interesting tour through Italy, re
turning to Coburg in the following
May.
Meanwhile political events in Eng
land, which it is needless to go into,
made it desirable that the question
?^thV??ueen'sTnlHf?^ again
be pressed. Those who had her wel
faro most at heart were anxious to se
cure for her without longer delay a
husband's guidance and support. To
effect this was, however, no simple
matter. All that the Queen had
heard of the Prince was most favora
ble. Her inclination towar' Mm re
mained unchanged, and, to use her
own words, ''she; ne ver, had an i.deif,
if she married atall, of any one else."
Still she desired delay ; /.and the
Prince went to England with his
brother in October, 1839, under the
impression, that she wished tne-.??tair
to be considered as -broken off,' and
fofyt forjour.years she could'tihink'tff
;fio marriage. Her reasons for delay
were, however, destined to give j
before the irresistible feeling ins
ed by the Prince when they aj
met. The three years which
passed since the princes were las
England had greatly impioved tl
personal appearance. Tall and nc
ly as they both were, Prince All
was eminently handsome. But tl
was also in Lia countenance a gen
ness of expression and peculiar sw
ness in his smile, with a look of d
thought and high intelligence in
clear blue eyes and expansive fi
head, that added a charm to the
pression he produced in all who :
him, far beyond that derived fi

The Queen was most favorably
pressed. On the second day a
their arrival she wrote to her une

ed-in short, very fascinating." '
question was soon settled. The Pri

her decision. To Baron Stocka
her uncle's life-long friend and c
fidential counselor, to whom she 1
recently and strongly expressed
resolution not to marry for sc
time, she wrote with a native eml
ra6.?ment :
" WINDSOR CASTLE. Oct. lu, 1839
" I do feel so guilty, I know
how to begin ?ny letter ;/but I th

happy, but I shall do my best. I
cle Leopold must tell you nil ab?
the details, which I have not time
do. Albert is very much attached
you."
*The next day Prince Albert wr
to give Baron Stockmar what
knew would be "the most welco
news possible." He added :
" Victoria is so good und kind
me that I am often puzzled to belie
that I should be the object of
much affection. I know the inter

" ' Das Ango sieht den Himmel offen,
Es schwelgt das Herz in Seligkeit.' "
(Heaven opens on the ravished eye,
The heart is all entranced in bliss.)
While oiferino; to the Prince ]
hearty congratulations on the hap
event, Stockmar coupled them wi
earnest counsels ? as to the cou:
which must be pursued in laying t
foundations of his future happine
and in fulfilling worthily the dut
of his high position. To thia t
Prince replied in a strain of lofty I
piration, and with a deep sense
the great part he was to play in 1
new career, which evinced true i
for the future. Neither the hap
ness of love-a happiness in his ci
made more intense by the singu
purity and unselfishness of-his c
nature, on which the devotion shoi
him seems to have come with a 1
wildering strangeness-nor the br
liancy of the position into which tl
love had raised bira, blinded him i
a moment to ita sterner featun
" Treu und fest" (True and firm) w
the motto of his house, and he w
prepared to grapple with difliculti
and face opposition with a man
heart. " With the exception of n
relations to the Queen," he wrote
his step-mother, " my future positic
will have its dark side, and the si
will not always be blue and uncloui
ed. But life has its thorns in evei
poc.Lon, aud the consciousness i
having used one's powers and ei
deavors for an object so great as thc
of promoting the welfare of so man
will surely be sufficient to euppoj
me."
The announcement of the betroth
al caused great rejoicings in Eng'an
and among the Prince's own people
But when the question of the annui
ty to be settled upon him on his mar
riage came before Parliament ther
was a squabble which must have beei
very disagreeable to him and b
the Queen. The cabinet propos?e
?50,000 a ye'ar, the same that bac
been granted to Prince Leopold oi
his marriage with the Princess Char
lotte ; but after an acrimonious de
bate this sum was reduced to ?30,
000. The Prince took it in a mani}
manner, merely remarking to Baror
Stockmai- that his only regret was t(
find that his ability to help artiste
and men of science, to which he kati
been looking forward with delight
would be more restricted than he had
hoped.
A thousand times more vexatious
were the questions as to- the rank
and precedence he was to enjoy as
the husband of the Queen. There
is no provision in the English consti
tution for the title and precedence oi
the husband of a queen regnant,
while the wife of a king has the high
est rank and dignity, after her hus
band, assigned her by law; ajid
while it is no doubt always in the
power of a queen regnant to give her
consort precedence at home over all
her subjects by placing him next her
person, her power stops there. The
status is due to her personal favor
alone, and, if acknowledged by other
royal personages, it is so mei ely by
courtesy. A bill was introduced in
Parliament giving the Prince prece
dence for life next after the Queen
in Parliament or elsewhere aa her
Majesty might think..proper; .but..af
ter-much debate Parliament refused
to give h;m any distinctive title, and

courts the Queen always had to_
knowledge aa a grace and favor

eigns whom ehe visited. Scv<
sovereigns positively refused to gi

the only one who waa courte
enough to do so without an oife- ?
show of doing a favor was the 1
Emperor of the French. Even
En land annoyances constantly ai
from the want of Parliamentary
tion on this question. The Prim
right io occupy the seat next
throne when Parliament was opel
or prorogued was questioned by
Duke of Sussex and others ; but
Queen, supported by the Duke
Wellington, quietly ignored the
terference. "L?t the Queen put
Prince where she likes," he si
Thc great Duke had not much tole
tion for the traditions of court i
quette when they conflicted with
dictates of common sense. The 1
Lord Albemarle, when Master of
Horse, was very sensitive about
right'in that capacity to eit in
sovereign's carriage on state oe
sions. " The Queen," said the Du
when appealed to for his opini
" can make Lord Albemarle sit
the top of the coach, under the coa
behind the coach, or wherever {
her Majesty pleases."
The marriage took place at
chapel of St. James's Palace ou i
10th of February, 1840. It A
very popular, with the* people,'
cause it was not one of political ci
venieuce, but of pure affection, a
thousands liaed the roads from Bui

they passed. The morning of 1
i day had been wet, foggy, and dism
but there, was not wanting soon af
the ceremony the happy omen of tl
sunshine which came afterward to
proverbially known as " Queens wea
er." Whatever annoyances came
tho Queen and her consort from tl
day to the hour of the Prince's dei
came from the outside. Their ho:
life was always happy. From t
day of his betrothal to the Quei
Prince Albert held unwaveringly
the high course of life he had mai
ed out for himself-a course tl
gained him the confidence and aft
tion of the people and the name
" Albert the Good."
