Queen Victoria and Prince Albert

There have been few romances as powerful as the love shared between Queen Victoria and her Prince Consort Albert. Some have come close. Anthony and Cleopatra. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Bert and Ernie...But none can hold a candle to the lust, love and loss that defines the marriage between the most powerful woman in the history of the world, and a German man.Join Douglas and Hugh as they rummage through drawers to find love letters, erotic post cards and dirty drawings shared between the two, as well as diving into their early lives to discover just what made them tick. We then look at how during the forty years of widowed life after her husband's tragic and sudden death, Victoria invented Goth culture.Douglas also has an excellent life hack that will allow you to get away with all sorts of unacceptable behaviour without reprimand or reprisal.------History for You with Douglas and Hugh is a spoof comedy podcast about history written, performed and produced by Adrian Mackinder and James Devonshire, with music by Mike Jones. Let us know your thoughts and suggestions for future episodes.Connect with us here:https://tinyurl.com/History4UFacebook https://tinyurl.com/History4UBlueSkyhttps://tinyurl.com/History4UInstagramAdrian and James are also published authors:The Wonder 1: Blood Redhttps://amzn.eu/d/0gk3QiqStan Lee: How Marvel Changed the Worldhttps://linktr.ee/stanleebookDeath and the Victorianshttps://linktr.ee/deathandthevictoriansAdrian is also a stand-up comedian and improvisor.
