It was an inappropriate and morganatic marriage, the heiress of one of the most prestigious kingdoms in Europe marries a man with no lineage and royal blood, if her ancestors saw this they would repudiate it. Neither her own mother, the Queen, nor her father, the Prince Consort, had the good sense to forbid this marriage and find a bridegroom worthy of the heiress, a man who belonged to the former ruling nobility of Germany or a Prince from another European kingdom.
