THE LORD MELBOURNE CANDELABRA–THE CENTERPIECE, NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA — GIVEN BY QUEEN VICTORIA AND HRH PRINCE ALBERT TO LORD MELBOURNE UPON MELBOURNE’S RETIREMENT

Filed under: Australia,Prince Albert the Prince Consort — tmooresr @ 2:03 am

This very early morning, I found a very interesting email on my computer sent to me by one of my blog contributors in Australia.  This Australian gentleman sent me several amazing photographs of the beautiful city of MELBOURNE, Australia.  Among this collection of  beautiful photographs was an image of a set of three candelabra–THE MELBOURNE CENTERPIECE– presented to Lord Melbourne by Queen Victoria and HRH Prince Albert at the time of Prime Minister Melbourne’s retirement.  We all know the story about Lord Melbourne which was well presented in the movie THE YOUNG VICTORIA.  THANK YOU, “Mr. Contributor” for these images.  I have not known this history.

PRINCE ALBERT AND QUEEN VICTORIA TEACH THEIR SON PRINCE AFRED TO BE FRUGAL BY KEEPING A SPENDING RECORD

Filed under: Prince Albert the Prince Consort — tmooresr @ 9:06 am

Prince Albert and Queen Victoria gave their children an “allowance” for pocket money, but they were to keep a record of their spending.    I found Prince Affie’s spending record amusing.

PRINCE ALBERT’S CORRESPONDENCE TO QUEEN VICTORIA AFTER ENGAGEMENT

Filed under: Prince Albert the Prince Consort,Queen Victoria — tmooresr @ 11:56 pm

Written in German, Prince Albert writes to Queen Victoria from Coburg after their engagement.  Check out the amazing handwriting.  I suppose I should have expected “style” from the hand of this amazing man.  Fascinating.
