Queen Victoria had a large brood of 9 children. She had incredibly high expectations for her four sons and held them up in comparison with her saintly husband, Prince Albert. Their eldest son was destined to inherit the throne of the British Empire at the height of it’s power though he had to wait a long time to obtain it from his aging mother. While waiting in the wings her three younger sons all lived active lives. Two joined the military and traveled the world while the youngest was held back by the “royal disease”, hemophilia. Here are the stories of Queen Victoria’s four intriguing sons:
Edward VII, King of the UK and Commonwealth (1841-1910)
Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1844-1900)
Aurthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942)
Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-1884)
