Fascinating video, thank you so much! I remember being taken to concerts at the Royal Albert Hall when I was a little girl; we’d come out late at night and walk past the Albert Memorial when Albert was still blackened. Silhouetted against the light pollution of the London sky, he looked ominous and I found him very scary indeed. Nice to see him restored to his gold magnificence!
I don't think the memorial is too much because if you remove the titles and their places in society, it seems to be a statement of a women's love for her husband. She just happens to be in a position to allow her love to be put into a material statement. Who wouldn't do the same for their spouse who was a dedicated husband, father, and statesmen, if they had the means? I think a lot of people would! I mean I wouldn't, but that's probably why I'm single. Loved this video brother, what a great story!
What next, eh? Well, a brief comment on why "Rotten Row" isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. Kensington Pallace, as you have a fondness for things Hannoverian. Whilst in Albertopolis, you will visit the V&A, of course. The Museum of Nature History is a marvel, architecturally speaking. Admission to these museums are free, and you have Prince Albert to thank for that! The Great Exhibition gave a much-needed boost to public transport in London. The horse-drawn omnibus was introduced to London in the 1830s, but in 1850 such was the demand that they became necessary. Oh, if you do a segment on the Royal Albert Hall, visit the museum in the Royal College of Music next door. BRAND NEW! Oh, and the Royal College of Art.
The Royal College of Organists USED to be in a beautiful building on Kensington Gore back in my day. That changed in 1991, when their 99-year lease came up. Could you see if the amazing edifice is still there? Please tell me it isn't a Starbucks.
So much to see here in Albertopolis. I’ve been to both museums, but haven’t done much filming. I’m glad the great museums are free, though if they were truly accessible they would be open past 5PM! If one keeps any semblance of normal hours, one can only visit on the weekends. I wish something like the National Portrait Gallery would be open for a late evening stroll.
Certainly not bashing Dr. Livingstone, rather emphasising that Stanley’s behaviour in Africa was absolutely reproachable, even based on his own accounts. ‘How I Found Livingstone in Central Africa’ had some truly appalling anecdotes.
@@theministryforhistory Stanley was a slaver and used the inhabitants of the Congo as target practice. He set the stage and brought the Belgians into the Congo. He was An awful person, even by the standards of the time.
Great video really enjoyed watching and learning
Thoroughly enjoyable 31 minutes.

Wonderful, as always.
Enjoy it now before it's all swept away...
very informative
Thanks very much!
What a wonderful video I am just amazed

Thanks for watching!
Well done sir!
It's worth noting that Prince Albert prevented a shooting war between Britain and America
David Livingstone named one of worlds waterfalls Victoria's Falls
Very interesting and enjoyable! Thank you. I am looking forward, and hoping for a tour of the Victory. Regards from Canada!
That will need to be multiple weeks of filming down south! Victory, Warrior, the museum, AND the many cannons of Fort Nelson!
@@theministryforhistory Super! Thank you!
@@theministryforhistory Looking forward to that already...
Just saw you on Mark Robers channel! Cool Cameo!
It was a great day! He certainly brought in a lot of watermelons for us to fire at! 💥

Have I missed an episode? Have you explored Apsley House yet?
That’s absolutely one I plan to do very soon but I’m waiting for a special guest to film with me! I expect to early next year! 🇬🇧

Evil evil just evil you’re too blind to see though to blind
Can I ask what's evil about a statue to the love of a spouse?
Sad to hear that Livingston bashing..."not as bad as Stanley" C'mon!
