The Royal Palaces: Secrets and Scandals
by |
|
“Albert liked to play the stoic, and he embraced the opportunity to do over the negotiations about the marriage. He insisted that Uncle Leopold know what a great sacrifice he was making for the Saxe-Coburg family and Germany. As he gloomily lectured his uncle, 'troubles are inseparable from all human positions and…therefore if one must be subject to plagues and annoyances, it is better to be so for some great or worthy object than for trifles or miseries.'
Unfortunately for Albert, Leopold was deaf to self-pitying emotional blackmail and remained determined on his course.”
