The love that Queen Victoria had for Prince Albert was enormous, as evidenced by the large memorial she commissioned in his memory. Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha died of typhoid in 1861 at the age of 42. The Albert Memorial sits across from the Royal Albert Hall. It is in Kensington Gardens, which is one of London’s most famous gardens. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic revival style and was completed in 1876, fifteen years after Prince Albert died. It was refurbished between 1994 and 1998 and the Prince Albert statue was re-gilded. The closest Tube stations are High Street Kensington or South Kensington.
