The Story

Queen Victoria and Prince Consort Albert are remembered as two of Great Britain’s most iconic monarchs. Having met at Princess Victoria’s 17th birthday, the royal couple fell almost instantly in love, sparking a lifelong romance that would echo through the ages. Over the years, the pair often used artistic means to express the intensity of their feelings for each other.

During her reign over the British Empire, known as the Victorian Era, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert promoted a new age of innovation and growth. As passionate supporters of the arts, the pair are linked to some of the UK’s most famous cultural institutions and events, such as the legendary Great Exhibition of 1851 that took place in London’s Crystal Palace, and the founding of the Royal Albert Hall and the Victoria and Albert Museum, the world's leading museum of art, design and performance.
