1. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had 9 children. (5 girls & 4 boys)
2. Their children entered the royal houses (through marriage) all across Europe.
3. Three of Victoria's children proceeded her in death along with her husband Albert
4. Queen Victoria did not like being pregnant nor did she like infants she viewed them as ugly and she hated breastfeeding. (So she did not pay any attention to her children when they were babies).
5. Prince Leopold had hemophilia and thus shunned by his mother until after his death. Queen Victoria refused to acknowledge that she might had a part in giving her son that awful disease (which was brought on by so much interbreeding through royal and nobality marriages).
6. Prince Edward (later King Edward VII) was a playboy. He continued having mistresses throughout his marriage & life.
7. Queen Victoria and some of her daughter carried the Hemophilia gene (not all daughters would carried the gene). The women have a 50/50 chance of being a carrier such as Princess Alice who had the gene and passed it onto her daughter the Czarina Alexandra of Russia who in turn bore a son who had hemophilia the Tsesarevich Alexi.
8. Prince Albert died at the age of 42 from an illness. Researchers and scientist are still in debate of what disease or cancer killed him. Such as typhoid fever, Crohn's disease, renal failure or some other cancer.
9. Queen Victoria wore black the rest of her life after Albert's death, as a sign of mourning for her beloved husband. It is to believed that she blamed her eldest son for Albert's early death (Edward VII prince of whales) for his parting ways.
