Albert Edward
[edit]Prince of Wales.
Born Nov. 9, 1841
The heir-apparent to the throne of England, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, has been at all times regarded as the first subject of the realm. His education has indeed been thorough; in the languages, classics, natural philosophy mathematics, jurisprudence and other branches of study he has been assisted by tutors of great ability.
In 1860 he visited Canada and the United States, and was received with great enthusiasm everywhere. In 1862 he visited Egypt and the Holy Land, and other countries in the East, being accompanied in his travels by learned men, whose instructions to the young prince gives the exception to the well known rule that "There is no royal road to learning."
In 1863 he was married to Princess Alexandra of Denmark, a beautiful and loving wife and mother, by whom he has two sons and three daughters. The future king of England is a practical agriculturist of much ability, and rarely fails to carry off several of the chief prizes at the Smithfield cattle show. He is very popular with his tenantry.
