Within the Blue Room of Windsor Castle on the 14th December 1861, Prince Albert the beloved husband of Queen Victoria succumbed to his death at the age of 42. He was a man who had experienced a lot of issues with his health throughout his life, and he worked very hard for the royal family and ultimately for his wife. He believed he had a strong sense of duty to the Queen, and across England in the years before his death Albert had a rather mixed reputation. Some believed he may have even been a foreign spy inside of the royal family and they were suspicious of him, but following his death the opinion of the Queen’s husband changed and they saw how much his death affected Victoria. She spent the rest of her life wearing black and in mourning, but Albert had been ill for a very long time, and the doctors when he arrived in Britain even claimed that a slight fever or cold could send him to the grave. Despite a postmortem not being performed of his body and an autopsy was also not performed, the doctors and his symtoms gave a very good opinion as to what killed him, and it could have been something that the doctors got very wrong, but were at the time powerless to treat. Let’s have a look at the death of Prince Albert and reach a conclusion as to what led to his tragic death.
