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 5 covers Albert's final years, from 1859 to his protracted illness and death in 1861 at the age of forty-two.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTo the Queen\u003cbr\u003e 97. 1860\u003cbr\u003e 98. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 99. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 100. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 101. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 102. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 103. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 104. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 105. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 106. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 107. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 108. 1860 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 109. 1861\u003cbr\u003e 110. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 111. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 112. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 113. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 114. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 115. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 116. 1861 - continued\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Index.\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":46266136789272,"sku":"9781108059831","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059831i_928a81cc-da6f-45e0-9970-723e3a3801cc.jpg?v=1696747460","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-life-of-his-royal-highness-the-prince-consort-paperback-9781108059831","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
