He found his greatest success, however, in the role of biographer to Prince Albert (1819–61). Commissioned by Queen Victoria to memorialise her late husband, this five-volume work was first published between 1875 and 1880. Intended as a continuation of the biography begun by Charles Grey (also reissued in this series), it has been described as 'less adulatory in tone than might be expected'. A treasury of letters and memoranda, it presents a detailed portrait of the character, words and deeds of a man whose life was necessarily immersed in the great events of his time. Volume 1 covers Albert's youth, his marriage to Victoria and the early years as her husband, up until the birth of their sixth child, Princess Louise, in 1848.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTo the Queen\u003cbr\u003e 1. 1819–36\u003cbr\u003e 2. 1820–1839\u003cbr\u003e 3. 1839\u003cbr\u003e 4. 1840\u003cbr\u003e 5. 1840 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 6. 1840 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 7. 1841\u003cbr\u003e 8. 1842\u003cbr\u003e 9. 1843\u003cbr\u003e 10. 1843 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 11. 1844\u003cbr\u003e 12. 1844 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 13. 1844–5\u003cbr\u003e 14. 1845 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 15. 1845–6\u003cbr\u003e 16. 1846 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 17. 1846 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 18. 1846–7\u003cbr\u003e 19. 1847\u003cbr\u003e 20. 1847 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 21. 1847 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 22. 1847–8\u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266137510168,"sku":"9781108059794","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059794i_7b763b8f-b021-484a-9942-3fda6e5bbb12.jpg?v=1696747460","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-life-of-his-royal-highness-the-prince-consort-paperback-9781108059794","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
