Prince Albert was born in the German Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and was a first cousin of Queen Victoria. The two married in 1840, and he became an important member of the British royal family, receiving the title of "Prince Consort." Albert passed away from typhoid fever in 1861 at the age of 42. His early death devastated Victoria, leaving her in prolonged mourning and leading her to withdraw from public life.
