Prince Albert
"Love at second sight" is how you can describe this story. The Queen and Prince Albert were related, first cousins. Their uncle, the King of Belgium, was obsessed with the idea of marrying his nephew to his niece, the future Queen of Great Britain. In those years, such marriages were considered the norm. But the future queen herself was in no hurry to get married; the very thought of it disgusted her. There was not a single happy couple around her in which love and understanding reigned. And meeting Albert did not make any impression on either of them. The second meeting 2 years later changed everything. Having matured, Albert came to England to visit his family. This time the queen could no longer resist. The idea of marriage no longer seemed so unpleasant to her.
